An Outfit To Steal This Thanksgiving

26 Nov 2014

Thanksgiving is often an endurance event ending in a tryptophan-induced coma, so this year let us give thanks for those returning to a more, Puritan approach in both what we eat and how we dress. I know I am not the only one who likes to dress down in denim for the Thanksgiving feast. Thinking about the snow, the traffic, and what I am going to cook for the holiday!? are more pertinent things on my agenda. What I do know is that after indulging in all the yummy food that I am going to stuff my face with, see: trying to imitate ABC Kitchen‘s Jean George Vongerichen, my pants won’t close and I will be bummed I didn’t wear a dress with knee-length boots. In... Read More

Net-A-Porter Sale is On!

NET-A-PORTER This is my favorite sale of the season: everything I have longed for is reduced. The only problem is that the site crashes and Europe gets first dibs so by the time it comes to the United States, some goodies are sold out. Now is not the time to cry over spilled milk. Hit the link up top before everything is GONE. GONE. GONE….

Today officially marks the week of Thanksgiving, which means you will be heading out-of-town quicker than the clock strikes 5 o’clock on Wednesday making this a long holiday weekend for family, meals, family meals, shopping and Black Friday. Overwhelming as it all is, I like to take care of gift buying before I run out of time, energy, and money. All three things happen to me every year, so just let’s just bite the bullet and let’s get this party started. And you can do it all online, right here right now. Gift season is filled with pressure on gifting the just right thing. What would Aunt Jen want this year? When we present a gift, we want the received to really like it, not... Read More

Date Night Outfit Inspiration

Have a hot date this weekend but can’t figure out how to look cute given the chilly temps outside? Problem understood. With that dating quagmire in mind, there lies a solution. The coat is the conversation piece, topping off the perfect cold weather evening ensemble underneath. What inspires me on a night out is not so called investment pieces: my belted camel coat, or my oversized grey blanket coat, but a sexy fun piece that stands out in a crowd of basic. Did you ever think to wear a bubble gum pink coat? Whether headed out to dinner, an after-work party, (’tis the season folks) or a night out in the casinos, the evening calls for style and glamour. Full-length dresses are elegant, but too restricting and formal, and... Read More

Fringe and Fray

Playing with fringe and frayed edges is nothing new in the fashion industry. Deconstructing fabric and unraveled threads is part of the creative process. I’m not talking about diving headlong into Festival territory where you start dressing like your teenage self and tripping through the tulips in your ripped denim hot pants. This is a more sophisticated take on the trend and designers high and low have gotten a hold on fringe fever. By way of rips, there are no signs that this trend is departing our shores anytime soon and come Spring, designers have pushed it to new heights. Stay tuned for Dries Van Noten’s use of Bohemianism, Proenza Schouler’s fringed skirts and, the raw-edged denim king Marques Almeida’s play of stray threads. Can’t wait till... Read More

The Perfect Coat

Is there such thing as the perfect coat? I have been on the hunt for the perfect coat for the Fall/ Winter season. I have put several in my cart from NET-A-PORTER, NORDSTROM, FAR FETCH and YOOX, but when I go back to order them, they’re gone. I guess everyone is looking for that perfect coat too. While you’re shopping for that just right coat, there are plenty of people who don’t have a warm coat to put on their bodies as winter approaches. ‘Tis the season for giving and Barbour Inc. has partnered with One Warm Coat to keep neighbors in its local retail communities warm this winter. Starting Saturday November 15 through December 31, Barbour’s retail locations will be accepting any coat in wearable condition.... Read More

Leather Lingo

I purchased these leather-ish culottes in a haste, not sure when or where I would wear them. Tired of my leather mini skirt, and not quite ready to dive into leather pants covering my loins, I wore them with a simple white t-shirt and flatform shoes. I loved the feeling of  wearing bare legs, open air and all. Enjoy this 60-plus degree day, because according to the weather report, come Thursday, we are due for a cold front that will, sweep in and burst the giant pink balloon of Spring out of our hands. So why not get out in your shorts and let your skin show just one more time?! Just think, for the next eight months, you, I, and the collective we in... Read More
