It’s Sale Time

I love a great sale. Craving savings? Me too. Well, it’s perfect timing, because it’s sale time! The best sale of the year is here and that’s Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale. It is a collection of the best items for fall, marked down for a limited period of time. These are all items that will go back to full price once the sale is over so you know you’re snagging some amazing deals! In mid-July, fashion designers have already focused their attention towards next spring and what will surprise us down the catwalk. But first, we have to address fall and what we are eyeing and saving our pennies for. Right now the sale is only open to shop for cardholders but that doesn’t mean you can’t browse the sale and bookmark... Read More

What to Wear When its so Hot Outside

Take a look outside. New York temperatures are most likely in the mid-80s. But let’s be real: the weather feels a whole lot hotter. Thank you, 100% humidity. And the weekend, looks even HOTTER. Since stripping down and going nude on Broadway isn’t exactly an option, we have to get creative when it comes to dressing for the inevitably sweaty journeys that we take daily. How do you beat the heat? To beat the heat in style, I turn to my faithful loose and lightweight pieces and as little fabric as possible. Because, really, nothing is better than throwing on a thin linen frock or jumpsuit to keep our legs from sticking to our beloved subway seats, or car. I love the free spirit attitude of wearing gauzy tops. For this... Read More

Summer Feeling

The wonder of summer is fleeting. The only way to hold on is to stretch its heat and glory all the way to the edges and indulge on holy vitamin D for when the cold wind blows in. I try to be prepared for summer with all the ingredients necessary to take summer by the horns, which includes being prepared with a moments notice to head out the door. In the summertime, I am motivated to explore, either surfing unchartered waters, checking out new live music, or exploring somewhere distant. Summer amplifies the joys of living a life of leisure, on a boat, on the beach, or trying a new Rosé. I just came back from a 24-hour trip to Chicago to see the Grateful Dead play... Read More

How to dress patriotic for the holiday, hold the cheese? A dilemma we can all understand and relate to. At this moment in time especially, I want to wear red, white, and blue on my sleeves to show how proud I am to be an American. When the the Supreme Court released its ruling on same-sex marriage, I was walking to work, unaware history was being made. Just like fireworks and hot dogs, festive clothing is essential for celebrating the Fourth of July. But let’s face it, Independence Day and fashion don’t exactly go hand in hand. You’re more likely to associate the holiday with cheesy graphic tees than a cute dress you might actually wear when the weekend is through. What a better way to celebrate america than the...

Bare Shoulders

I have been wearing a variety of off-the-shoulder tops now that summer is here. They have a way of turning heads even though this simple boho style has been around for long time. Although baring your shoulders are the perfect top for the streets and the office, especially when it gets hot, there are a few styling tips to keep in mind.
