Pantone’s Color of the Year: Perfect for Fashion & Beauty, Bodily Fluids Aside

Pantone Institute of Color has introduced the 2015 Color of the Year, christening it Marsala and vaguely reminding us of things more sinister than wine (which, coupled with a giant pasta dish, is exactly what I wanted upon reading the name). But then I saw it.  Maybe it was because I first heard of it […]

Feeling (Baby) Blue

First mint, then pink–apparently we can’t get enough of pastels.  The latest Easter egg hue to step into the spotlight is the binary of last season’s blushing pink, and in the interest of all things soft and fluffy, I approve.  Donning baby blue will make you feel as if you’re wearing a cloud–or attending an anti-climactic […]

Prabal Gurung Resort 2015

Without a doubt, my favorite resort collection this year. A simple, bold color palette grounded in blue and red, and an interesting mix of print, jacquard, and color-blocking make Prabal Gurung’s resort collection, titled “Unconditional Love” and consisting of chunky knits to floor-length gowns, a practical yet eye-catching affair.  I’ve always had a soft spot […]

Uniquely You: LBDs, Personal Style, and Midnight in Paris

Maybe it’s the approach of summer and ridiculously high temps, but recently I’ve found myself being drawn to the effortless appeal of dresses. I’ve always been one for simplicity.  I like throwing on a dress and adding just a few of my own subtle details.  Though my personality may reflect otherwise, I can’t help but […]

Welcome Back, White (Even Though You Never Left)

Memorial weekend is almost upon us, which means the unofficial inauguration of summer and the celebration of all things related–hot dogs, American flags, day-drinking, and white clothing. The past year has been a year for rule-breaking, sartorially speaking, so if you’ve been wearing white all through the winter, don’t fret; Memorial weekend is simply another […]

To Reiterate: Pink is Here to Stay

Pink, pink, pink. I mentioned several months ago that pink is the new mint.  I was correct–even more so than I could have imagined, considering the pink coat trend seems to have spread like wildfire–but I could have gone one step further to say that pink is the new everything. The pale, bubblegum shade of […]

PFW: Elie Saab is doing it better than you

So, who cares if it was predictable?  Elie Saab does feminine and floral and lacy better than anyone. I’ve thought for some time now that if I ever get married, I want to get married in an Elie Saab dress.  Such an occassion, however, would mean Hell had frozen over, and I’d have to do […]

New Colors, New Collar for Everlane

Blah, blah, blah, we all know I love Everlane’s silk shirts (a creature of habit, I am). In addition to a new line of sweaters and a new line of wallets, Everlane introduces four new colors, as well as a new pointed collar. I love all of them, but Truffle and Dusk are catching my […]

Fall Staple: The Leather Skirt

High-waisted, pencil, A-line, midi, mini–this fall, we’re loving it all.  In leather, that is. We’ve already established that leather details are in this season (as if they were ever really out), and while the leather coat is a timeless staple, this season, it’s all about the leather skirt. A soft, supple, yet sturdy leather skirt […]
