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 [...]

All right, so I know I’m far off from being alone when it comes to my adoration of all things Phillip Lim. I found this look from the resort collection (2010) and the simplicity of it held my attention…So, of course, I had to re-create it: Image provided by www.style.com The thicker, slightly darker charcoal [...]

This is the leather sandal from the look inspired by Balmain’s Fall ’10 runway that I re-mixed last month .

With all the talk about olive and military detail right now, [...]

This is pure fashion eye candy. I’ve been pulling looks and pairing them up with platform pumps, sandals, you name it. These are the top four platforms that had me drooling from the get-go. It’s not about being realistic, it’s not about running a 5k, it’s about being inspired and that emotional impulse every woman [...]

So it’s pretty much the end of the week, and time to move the casual Friday feel to Thursday. I see nothing wrong with attempting to get a jump on the weekend… What I’m wearing: This look is super easy and a good illustration of how to layer during summer. The drop waist dress I’ve [...]

Two of these picks are amazing and will soon find a home within the walls of my closet, while the other two are just, well, amazing. They may not be a part of my very own wardrobe, but that doesn’t mean I can’t stare, gawk, drool, and swoon all over them right? What…too much? 1. [...]

There’s something about wearing a pant and fitted blazer that just feels right to me. Everyone has pieces in their closet they gravitate towards, some good, some not so much. The trick is taking the uniform and stepping out of your fashion comfort zone to create variations on the theme. With the temps rising (or [...]
