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 […]
I’m Loving: Orange Details (And Neon Lips!)
The coral trend of seasons past has gone one step further, entering orangey-red (OK, sometimes all-out orange) territory. This was evident in the neon lips that were all over the runways at New York Fashion Week. And I love it. I have pale skin, and bright colors can sometimes wash me out. But the orange-red […]
It’s a Plaid, Plaid, Plaid World
(I bet I’m totally the first person to use that wordplay, right?) Tartan plaid is doing its best to edge out Spring’s windowpane trend for Fall, but I think the two can share the season. Plaid is something I saw enough of as a kid (I had a kilt!), and now I’m falling in love with […]
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 […]
You’re a Few Stripes Short of a Plaid, Windowpane
Windowpane print, what are you? Everywhere. You’re everywhere. Spring’s trend transitions into Fall with thick sweaters, chic trousers, and more. Go for dark, rich colors like navy, hunter green, and red. (PS–This is actually a great way to try the navy and black trend).

On Color: Are there any rules anymore?
There was apparently a time when black and brown couldn’t be worn together, but that’s ancient history. The past two years, red and pink were everywhere together, longtime feuding members of the same color family that were blissfully united. And people have been breaking the “no white after labor day” rule for a while, […]
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 […]
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 […]
Pajama Chic: Making your Walk of Shame less obvious since 2013!
I ignored the pajama trend at first because I figured it was initiated by chic stay-at-home moms. Or something. Back in January, I came about thisclose to buying a silk shirt that resembled pajamas and decided against it because surely that couldn’t actually be a lasting thing?! But I was wrong. I understand the pajama […]
Put That on a Sweater and Wear It: Graphic Sweatshirts
The graphic crew neck sweatshirt trend is still going strong from last year, and I’m totally on board, but it makes me wish I had the motivation/creativity to buy cotton crew necks and put clever words and phrases on them. I like how, depending on the graphic, there’s potential to turn a casual sweatshirt into […]
