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 […]
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 […]
Giving the Slip (Dress)
Is it a dress, or is it lingerie? Do I care? The slip dress is something I could so easily make fun of (and sometimes do). But I won’t. Because what could possibly be more comfortable than wearing a loose whisper of silk, satin, or some other delicate material when it’s time to go out […]
That Mid-Twenties Wardrobe Overhaul
A lot of things happen when you hit your mid-twenties. You start staying in more nights of the week than you go out (and your definition of “going out” changes); three beers will give you a headache the next day; you start to recognize the value/necessity of exercise–and budgeting; and you find yourself uttering the […]
Smells Like Teen Spirit
I thought we had already done the whole 90s grunge thing a couple years ago–and, ya know, in the 90s. But I was working for Urban Outfitters at the time of this supposed revival, so I may just be confused. I know the angsty Seattle rocker look never really left the West Coast in general, […]
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 […]
I’m Loving: UK Brand Whistles
A minimalist UK brand that has the aesthetic of Zara (albeit pricier–few brands beat Zara’s look-for-less quality/value) and free shipping to the U.S.? I’m totally down with that. The brand caught my eye with that “feminin” french sweater, which I was able to get my hands on right before it sold out (thanks for the birthday […]
Ribbed Knitwear: Another Thing You Need
As I head off to Michigan tonight for some family time, I can’t help but smile as I look at the weather forecast, which predicts cooler temperatures just for this weekend. It’s 93 degrees in southeast Michigan as I write this, but they know I’m coming, and they know I’m packing my rolling bag with […]
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 […]
