A look from Burberry Prorsum’s Fall 2011 collection hit me along with a great quote from Charles A. Beard: “when it’s dark enough, you can see the stars.” Prep yourself for the fashion philosopher side to come out today. Sure, there is an insane fur trim cardi, a shoulder bag to drool over, amethyst rocks [...]

You know, the tough, outdoorsy, go-get-the-knife-to-clean-the-fish-and-then-protect-the-group-from-grizzly-bears, kind of thing (all while doing a one-armed push up).

Here’s the look [...]

How to Wear Free People’s Raw Edge Military Coat. And…go!  I admittedly have a huge bias towards all things military-inspired, and this jacket from Free People happens to be one of them. The tough look is played off with a feminine peplum at the bottom that only becomes exaggerated with the cinched in waist, so to [...]
