I’m just going to leave this right here in case you’d like a Valentine’s outfit suggestion: a cozy knit and a bomb corset top. Trust me – no matter your plans, you can’t go wrong with this one. Unless, of course, you plan on going hiking, or participating in a rodeo (not the metaphorical kind, […]
Some shows remind us that couture has a higher purpose than winding up in the back of a socialite’s closet after the Met Gala. It can be deeply introspective, informative even, asking us to consider the world through a new lens or to re-examine our assumptions about ourselves. Maria Grazia Chiuri’s Dior Spring 2021 Couture […]
At some point shortly after starting the blog, I made a pact with myself: no Dolce and Gabbana. No photos, no critiques, nothing. There’s a piece of myself that still stomps its little reality-denying feet (in my mind, they’re chubby little toddler feet with those little fat rolls at the ankles) at this decision. After […]
We’re talking KNITS! Specifically doing it up SWEATER DRESS STYLE! Whoop! They’re slinky, they’re cozy, they’re sweet – but not at all demure. This specific combo, the sweater dress over a turtleneck, was a fixture in my childhood. All of the Moms and Teachers wore sweater dresses like this, with chunky gold jewelry and pumps. […]

Join us as I pick her brain about business, inspiration, and the industry in the face of a pandemic! 1. Where are you […]
Happy New Year, everyone! Let’s carry the hard-learned lessons of 2020 into 2021, yes? Patience, going-with-the-flow, appreciation of the little things, and taking it day by day – all nuggets we paid dearly for, so use them! Speaking of the little things – I’ve dropped by today to share my New Year’s Eve outfit, and […]
Ok, before we start on my fave looks of 2020, I know that no one is particularly eager to look back fondly on this year – and it was a year. And while I’m the first to say that there are no guarantees that 2021 will magically be better (I’m not one to sugarcoat things), […]
2020 was the year that fashion folks declared to be the death of the medium. Coming out of 2019, there were already cries that the runway show was dying and that fashion week was defunct – both claims I felt, and continue to feel, are exaggerated. But then there was COVID and you can imagine […]
Didn’t see that one coming, did you? To be honest, neither did I. 2020 seems like just the worst year for dressing up – especially considering that so many of us are unable to spend the holidays with those we love and we’re all coping with some level of tragedy or another. This post is […]
Just like that, it’s December. We have a COVID vaccine on the horizon, we’ve evicted the clown from the White House, and twelve major retailers have signed the Fifteen Percent Pledge (more on that in this post). Still, it’s been a rough one for most of us, and it seems that everywhere on social media […]
