Summer Outfit Inspiration

Welcome to summer. Yeah, It’s finally here. After this past nightmare of a winter, all I want to do is sweat. It’s jut the beginning of this short sweet season and there is so much to look forward to, those high noons, and magical sunsets. But, let’s face it: Getting dressed during the dog days of summer can be quite a task. Between the heat and the desire to do a whole lot of nothing, fashion can often take a back seat from June to August. But it doesn’t have to. There are some summer outfit inspiration pieces that I crave, and keep in my back pocket for a last minute invitation to a dreamy summer soireé. There are tricks to look stylish and be comfortable during the summer, the trick is... Read More

Packing Light for A Weekend Trip

19 Jun 2015

I’m heading out east for Father’s Day weekend and my head spins when I think about what to pack. Every time I go away for a weekend, I tend to overpack which ruins trips. I have a hard time picking out what it is I want to wear as I don’t know my weekend plans. Do I have any? Except for a Father’s Day event, no. On Saturday morning I will most likely exercize which means I need to pack the following: a sports bra, leggings, a tank top, socks, a bandana, and sneakers. Already a bulky start. When I do decide to get dressed and head into town to pick up an iced coffee and head to the greenmarket, I will probably want to be... Read More

The Case For Vintage Denim

15 Jun 2015

The Monday blues settle in after a great long summer weekend when the last thing you can imagine doing is heading to work. For me, wearing my current favorite pair of vintage denim, that I found at a thrift shop for $.99, is my answer to extending that vacation feeling. And that states my case for vintage denim. When it comes to denim, you could say I’m an old soul. I’ve always felt most comfortable in a perfectly soft, perfectly faded pair of vintage jeans. Few things excite me quite like finding original high-waisted bell-bottom Wranglers, or dark blue dead-stock Seafarers, complete with the original tags. Time stops when I see a hand-embroidered chambray shirt or a custom denim jacket, and of course, nothing makes... Read More

Off The Shoulder Tops

Could this be the end of plunging cleavages, boob hugging tops, and cropped tees? Probably not, BUT it is the dawn of yet another bare-it-all trend, this time though much more do-able, easy to pull off and age/body/style appropriate for pretty much everyone. Drumrolls please…If you buy one top this season, make it an off-the-shoulder top. Every chic girl has been sporting the sexy and totally wearable style. And seriously, what woman doesn’t love to show off her shoulders? Part bohemian, part austere, and modestly sexy, the ideal style has a structured bodice with billowing sleeves. I have a few of these in my closet and they work with so many different bottoms. Some of my favorite off the shoulder tops are from Rosie Assoulin, but there... Read More

Summer Suede

Some garments are so basic they go with everything, i.e.: a great pair of jeans, a button-down shirt, and others die a quick death once they hit the masses. We all know, trends come and go, hello crochet!? but sometimes it is actually worth holding onto the good stuff. Case in point? A great suede piece for spring and summer. Summer suede is hot. Suede was huge in the 70’s, and now designers have called it a sure thing: suede is to be this summer’s biggest trend. I blame it on our lust for all effortless, yet feminine with a twist of sexy. From patchwork and colour block separates at Burberry to buttery soft suede jackets at Gucci, suede is the fabric of the season. Suede is easy on... Read More

Currently Craving / Bathing Suit Edition

29 May 2015

Based on this week’s hot and sunny weather, it’s clearly bathing suit season here in New York. I have all intentions in getting into one of these this weekend, rain or shine as I am craving a day at the beach. But, finding the perfect swimsuit ain’t easy. Once you finally get excited about one, you’ll want plenty of excuses to wear it: for a day trip to the beach, a weekend on the lake, or just a day in the city. Why not wear that bikini top out with a pair of culottes? It may seem a bit risqué to bare your bathing suit without a body of water in sight, but not so with these some of these pieces and a slew of artful styling ideas. I love these specific looks from the... Read More

How to Achieve Beachy Waves

27 May 2015

Shop my hair products here: Over the past few years, the tousled beach wave look has proven to be much more than a passing trend. It’s a hairstyle with staying power, possibly on its way to iconic status. Inspired by that perfectly mussed-up state our salt-infused hair gets in after a day at the beach, the look is seemingly unfussy, effortlessly chic. But, the truth is — much like the no-makeup makeup look — if there isn’t a massive body of saltwater on hand, achieving this style actually takes some effort. My attempts at doing my own hair have successfully failed time and time again, and although I have many products in my beauty cabinet, none of them seemed to do the trick. I have... Read More
