Fall Trend: Wrap Coats Are Just Fancy Robes (Which is Totally Fine)
Some genius in the fashion world decided to take my love of blankets and overall coziness and turn it into a fashion statement, which would be great if I wasn’t now living in HelLA. Is it a robe? Is it a coat? I don’t know know, but if it looks good and keeps me warm, […]
Halloween Costumes That Aren’t Slutty
Halloween is my favorite holiday. As a creative little girl who’s always had a flair for the dramatic, what could I possibly love more than pretending to be something else? The options are endless; the creative opportunity, vast. It’s a holiday that celebrates reinvention and imagination and appeals to those who are drawn to the […]
Crop Tops & High Waists: How to Wear Them This Fall
The phrase “crop top” usually strikes fear or apprehension into the hearts of women. And when so many women wear them in terribly unflattering ways, those feelings are understandable. Alas, it is possible to transition the crop top into fall, and it is possible to wear a crop top and still be classy. I know […]
Things I’m Craving This Fall: Green, Moto, Leather, and Cutout
It’s still hot as Hell in SoCal, so I’m actually just craving temperatures that allow me to be fully clothed. Not the ideal atmosphere for a girl who’s addicted to sweaters. But cool weather or not, here are the things I’m eyeing as we head into my favorite season. 1. Dark Green Fall’s color palette […]
Pale Pink is the New Mint
I know everyone keeps talking up white (and judging from New York Fashion Week, that isn’t likely to change for Spring), but I’m more interested in the powder puff pink that’s stepping out this season. As predicted on the runways in January, pale pink coats, sweaters, trousers, and loafers are evidence that this Fall everyone’s […]
Knee-high Sheath Boots: Or, Chaps
Coincidence? Ok, it’s a stretch. But when I first started seeing knee-high sheath boots about a year ago, I was for some reason immediately struck by images of horses. Recently, with the Fall approaching, I’ve seen them pop up again. I scoured the Internet because I was certain that I had, in fact, seen something similar on a horse […]
Birthday Month means rationalizing everything I buy.
In grad school, I started this not-uncommon annual tradition of rationalizing a purchase by classifying it as a birthday present to myself. Tons of people do this. But I tried to rationalize it even more (I shop a lot, guys), by focusing on an item I knew I’d have for a long time. Four birthdays […]
Zara outerwear makes me wish LA would get cold.
I miss cold weather only because I miss all the coats I could be stocking up on right now. With a good coat and a great pair of boots, it doesn’t even really matter (too much) what you have on underneath. It could be a Hanes tee and jeans, but your flawless wool coat, statement […]
Open-Toe Booties are Like the Vests of Feet
This fall is being dominated by two types of shoes–the smoking slipper and the cutout/open-toe boots. Let me start by saying I like both of them. If something looks good, it looks good–I won’t question the function of it, because really, it’s fashion and at a certain point its function is solely to make you […]
