Summer Whites

Do you know what is easier than slabbing some almond butter on a Flaxseed waffle? Putting on an all-white outfit every day when you get dressed. The reason is simple. Most people look better in white than most anything else, besides black of course, so why not jack it up a bit, lighten up the load, and throw on an all-white uniform starting in the month of June. One of the oldest style rules in the book suggests that there is a set time frame from Memorial Day to Labor Day for wearing white. I never believed in rules, let alone a fashion rule, so this doesn’t apply to me, nor should it to you. Fashion is all about breaking rules, so how about a... Read More

Cropping Up

It’s finally here –one of the first of the summer Friday series, yeah! and what are you going to do to celebrate? Having a glass of wine? Taking a yoga class? I did something the other day that I have never done before so I am going to celebrate the fact that I wore a crop top. Out. Of. The. House. Crop tops are nothing new for me. I’ve worn them since I was a child and went back to them just this season. I’m not sure if I broke my own rules, I probably did, but I am happy I tried the trend from runway to reality and made it work. From Alexander Wang’s cutaway white shirting, Balenciaga’s abbreviated tees, and other navel-grazers, flashes of midriff were ubiquitous... Read More

Sale Round-ups

Coming back from a long, and fun Memorial weekend and sitting in front of my computer on a Tuesday, just means one thing. Fancy sales hitting my inbox. I first check out the sites, Net-a-Porter, and then Moda Operandi from my top priority hit list, put stuff in my cart, and then digest the digital damages. Frankly, from my experiences as a veteran shopper, seeing the spring sales that I once swooned over, are still expensive. You may want to think about the golden bullet before you bite into it, which rings true for filling up your shopping cart in the supermarket, hoping that you will eat every single piece of fruit that you put in your cart before they expire.

Gone skiing

Just kidding! I’m not ready for the Memorial Day weekend. I don’t think I will ever be so-called ready: my body is able, yet my skin is pale. But let’s forget the beach and BBQ for a minute, let’s embrace what Memorial Day weekend is all about. What to pack, why of course! My best intentions are to pack a carry-on no matter where I’m headed, so unless you’re headed to Aspen for some skiing where they have a 53-inch snow base, my gut tells me to pack light. Whether you’re headed to see friends and/or family, here are some reasons why you should pack less. I don’t like stuffing my clothes into a tiny suit case. I don’t like wrinkled clothing. I don’t like... Read More

Hi! Happy Monday! Aren’t you glad the summer season is just around the corner? I know I am. Today is going to reach 70 degrees, and it’s that time to put balls to the walls and start digging out those shorts and T-shirts and basically everything white. Not to sound like a broken record, but do you find yourself time and again purchasing single pieces because you like how they look and are styled on the mannequins in the stores, but find yourself staring and the insides of your closet wondering what to pair with it??? Dang, me too! And what about those days that you are running late, am tired, and just want to feel cozy?! Well hello, Monday mornings. Who is the unsung hero... Read More

Perfecting the Canadian Tuxedo

Mid-May is the time to start thinking about Memorial Day, summer weekends, outdoor living, and bolting out of work early on summer Fridays. So what do you wear, what is acceptable in the office? If you’re in the fashion industry, or have a creative position, consider yourself lucky, as you have plenty of choices. If not, I can only direct you to over here or here to get your classic shirts and dresses. My favorite go-to for summer Fridays? Denim. But not just the ubiquitous acceptance of white jeans, MEH, but denim doing double duty, the beloved Canadian tuxedo. Will I ever get sick of wearing denim? There’s a zero percent chance of that ever happening. And should you think this is a weekend-only look, think again:... Read More

All White

It is that time of year again when the flowers start to bloom, school is winding down, you are so incredibly busy, and all you want to spend time outdoors at a café sipping iced coffee, instead of indoors looking through your closet, wondering what to wear. Am I right?? My suggestion? Simplify! I continue to believe that wearing a simple white dress is flawless, easy to throw on, and perfect for work and after-hours activities. I still LoVe this dress that I bought last summer by my friends over at A.L.C. that continue to pump out casual, yet sleek, pieces that I want to live in all season long.

Dressing up Denim

Unless you’re existing under a rock, you have heard Ad nauseum about the MetBall this past Monday evening. There were hits and there were misses, but mainly misses, and even though the invite stated “white tie and decorations”, clearly not everybody listened. The only dress that was even on my radar was the black and white Oscar de la Renta number worn by the always fashionable Sarah Jessica Parker. What. The heck. Happened?  The red carpet of our lives are weddings, graduations, and Bat-Mitzvahs. So what do we wear for a black-tie invitation? My take-a-way here is to pair a dressy top or a bow-tie with my favorite denim. Now I know what you’re thinking, you can’t wear jeans to a wedding! Or a Bat-Mitzvah! I get it.... Read More
