Man Repeller: Let’s Give a Little Love to J.Crew
“Had J.Crew never made a pair of high waist, cropped and flared white jeans, I never would have bought them, loved them and declared them a fixture of my summer wardrobe. They cost me $150, so were they cheap? No. But they also weren’t made cheaply — which is important. And in comparison to the designer iterations that […]
Today is the first day of Spring, which means nothing
In LA, it’s just another Friday. In NY, Nor’easter memories are still fresh and winter coats still reign—therefore, it’s just another Friday. I’m rarely one to not mourn the end of knitwear season (probably because, for me, there is no end to knitwear season), but I’m excited to try everything new for spring. Shirtdresses? YES. […]
To Reiterate: Hey, boys…we don’t dress for you
My snarky albeit honest piece on Tres Dope is turning out to be pretty popular. Because really, boys…we don’t dress for you.
Tres Dope: Five Fashion Trends That Need to Stop
I got a little snarky this morning (surprise!) on Tres Dope. What can I say? The truth hurts. Also check out my previous post for them–ten trends I’m looking forward to this fall.

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 […]
Stop Buying Cheap Jeans.
I don’t have an ass. It’s simply a fact of my life. It’s also something I always assumed could not be helped with a quality pair of jeans. No matter what, jeans would stretch, and I’d inevitably get that oh-so-flattering saggy backside. Then one day I tried on a pair of jeans that actually fit, […]
An Ode to the Ballet Flat
Ballet flats–you are classic, quietly assured, effortlessly chic (that overused term), ladylike, and unassuming. And comfortable to boot. You’re the refuge we girls seek from the notion that femininity requires heels and aching feet–quite literally, as you sometimes accompany us in our purses on those late nights when our urge to be comfortable overcomes our […]
Bag Lust: UK Luxury Brand Smythson
When it comes to bags, I buy one that I love and use it until it breaks or just can’t hold up anymore. And when it does, it’s sad, but also rewarding–if it lasted a long time. It inspires the feeling that it was loved and worn and had a good run. I’m not into […]
You know you’re an adult when…
You no longer think it’s worth it to shop at Forever 21 (and kind of question how you ever thought it was). You’re starting to see that H&M is really just Forever 21 with better branding, and you’ve stopped trying to understand the hype. Your idea of what’s “sexy” has evolved (and there’s less skin-bearing […]
