How to Wear a Yellow Striped Top & Not Look Like Gum: I usually avoid all shades of yellow for some reason. I don’t know when the bias began, but I can tell you when it ended. Um, now. I’m all over the striped grey and yellow long-sleeve, v-neck top from RVCA. It was a [...]

How to Wear a Printed, Knee-Length Skirt: A printed, pleated, knee-length skirt can sound a little ‘schoolmarm-ish,’ I get it, but that term could not apply any less when it comes to how to wear this little number from Asos. I had to Google ‘schoolmarm,’ because I borrowed the term from my mother, and if [...]

How to Wear a Maxi Skirt: Thank you Alberta Ferretti, for all of the luxurious, uber-femme, divinely draped, layered goodness that you send down the runway with each season that passes. This Spring’s namesake collection was no exception. Unless you’ve been playing house under an exorbitantly large boulder lately, you’ve heard the term ‘maxi.’ And again, unless [...]

How to Wear Boyfriend Jeans: I’ve never been one for labels, which is incredibly ironic having lived in the land of high-end, luxury retail for the past decade. A land where the ‘status vendor’ is king. I just haven’t drunk the Kool Aid on the label maker for one reason or another. Just ’cause a [...]

How to Wear Orange Wide-Leg Pants: Sure, sure. Orange wide-leg pants are not for everyone. Understood. But the way Adam Lippes put them out there in his Spring 2011 collection is definitely making them seem far more on-trend and realistic than any other interpretation I’ve seen lately. The best part about such a pop color [...]

How to Wear a White Blazer: The inspiration behind this white-blazer look that’s just in time for summer, is the below runway shot from Balmain’s Spring 2011 collection. Christophe Decarnin, the designer behind the name, always brings a tough edge to his pieces and it keeps me (along with the rest of the fashion world) [...]

How to Wear Black Skinny Flare-Leg Trousers: I tore this page out of my Lucky Mag back in September, or possibly, last week because I love saving those things to use as inspiration. Case in point, this Lucky ‘how-to’ article on minimalist dressing. Sure, I went with the ‘how-to-wear‘ theme, but that’s nothing to this [...]

A Purple Silk Maxi-Skirt & How to Wear It: I ran across this image from tumblr the other day. It instantly had me envisioning an ensemble made to move in a breeze, similar to how the seeds of the dandelion plant scatter across an open field to find new homes and start new dandelion lives. [...]

My Favorite Cardigans to Go with The New Maxi: I just bought a simple, black, strapless maxi dress from Asos.com and have since fallen in love. It made it’s cameo last weekend at dinner over some insanely delish Greek food. Can I just say, the maxi is amazing should you want to go all-out with [...]

My Top Ten Striped Tops to Hit the Trend: Every now and then, there comes a fashion trend that is the quiet storm. My subconscious knows very well that it’s a call-out from the runway collections. I should have seen it coming with all of the stripe mentions in the email subject lines living in [...]
