How does one wear an oversized clutch for daytime? That’s the question, and there’s a relatively simple answer, but before I get there, take a peek at the inspiration behind this post: I wouldn’t necessarily call myself a ‘bow girl’ at this stage in the game, but I can appreciate a little feminine detail just [...]

It’s decision time and I have three amazing statement necklaces all under $100 to choose from for this weekend’s black tie wedding back in Boston… The dress I scooped up a couple of weeks ago, aided by a mother who has twice the shopping stamina that I do at almost 30 years my senior, was [...]

Let me tell you a little story about a label called Black Halo: Ok, so it’s not really about the label, even though it has achieved what some (a.k.a. myself) would call a cult-like fashion following inspired by the brand’s now signature ‘Jackie O’ dress. But this isn’t about Jackie, or the dress, it’s about [...]

This one is all about taking the runway and figuring out how to wear what comes down that catwalk. Time to translate the runway to the real world using the best of what’s currently out there. That said, let’s get started… Pop quiz: What does BCBG actually stand for huh? I’ve been all about this [...]

Adam Lippes, who got his post last week for a spring daytime look, is back with something a little more moonlit and evening oriented. Something…a little more sequined (think playful, fashion-forward sequined, less, Dynasty-shoulder-pad sequined). The reason the sequin only has one teeny tiny hole in it, is so, when it is sewn onto a [...]

I could start this one off by gushing about my love for all things DVF. Inevitably I’d then have to make mention of the wrap dress, her being the innovator of it and all. But you’ve heard this before. Instead, I’ll tell you why I have this trifecta of little black dresses featured… It’s called [...]

This is a simple one…How to wear a vest, aka one of the most versatile, and potentially universally flattering, layering option out there? Start here: On farfetch.com they’re calling this vest a ‘vesten.’ Maybe they felt the sudden urge to add a little Danish flare? I have no idea. What I have learned however, is [...]

These Les Halle distressed skinny jeans are a great foundation to a ton of looks. The hem hits the ankle, perfect for summer, and the dark wash gives what could be super casual, plenty of evening potential. Plus, they’re under $60 which, in the land of denim, is like saying, “do you remember when gas [...]

I’m having a platform moment and for good reason…These Asos platform pumps with elastic black band that contrasts back to the butterscotch leather are speaking to me, and not only b/c I’ve been procrastinating on getting my summer kick-off pedi. Did I mention they’re under $80? Asos.com is a resource out there that has become [...]

Why do I need yet another pair of black heels/sandals you ask? Simply put, I fall head over heels (no pun intended, it’s too early to be on top of my rhetoric game) for a favorite pair and then wear them down to practically nothing. I call it tough love. Sure I get the heels [...]
