I wear my classic, pointy-toe pumps more often than any other heel in my closet. I love how they're completely neutral, but instantly add a bit of polish to any outfit. Lately though, I've been drawn to a slightly more architectural look - the same shaped shoe, but with a ...read more
I've been on a daisy kick lately (last seen here) and have been seeing the cheery floral print popping up everywhere. This sweater is the first one I saw that cemented my admiration of the '90s-inspired flower with its 'he loves me, he loves me not' motif. But when I saw a ...read more
Last year I bought a leopard coat (seen here) and assumed it would be one of those pieces I pulled out when I was feeling kind of adventurous. But animal print has become such a neutral pattern that I don't think twice about throwing it on over just about anything. This season ...read more
My bag collection is extensive, though the one item that's missing is a basic black bag. It seems like that would be the obvious choice if I were to have but one purse, though I've found most options out there are not quite right. They're either too ...read more
I've been on the fence about the whole elevated sweatshirt trend, but now I'm behind it, 100%. Sometimes I think a casual piece should remain just that, but in this case, a little sparkle never hurt anyone. And the options range from cool edgy animals (à la Kenzo), to studded ...read more
Let's talk clutches. Day to night they're a workhorse holding all of your valuables from a cell phone to your favorite lipstick. I'm usually drawn to more neutral ones that go with everything, but recently I've been loving the idea of a simple outfit paired with a notice-me-bag. ...read more
I'm a firm believer in making smart purchases when it comes to fashion, saving on some things, splurging on others (which is why I started this series in the first place). As far as leather jackets go, I think they're meant to be splurged on, as high quality leather and the ...read more
On our honeymoon in Italy I purchased these Costume National sling-back pumps, which ended up being one of my best shoe decisions to date. I love how they're as versatile as your classic black heel, but have an added modern feel because of the sling-back straps. I'm really ...read more
Since Friday marked the first day of summer, I only found it fitting to round up a couple of my favorite summer suits at two different price points. There are several trends this summer in swimwear: vintage one pieces, [Bardot-esque] high-waisted bikinis, and nautical stripes, ...read more
When I run errands during the summer, I'm usually in some sort of beat-up sneaker or flat bootie, but my look could use an update. I've had a long-time love affair with espadrilles, but finding the right pair can be daunting - the heel's too high, the color wrong, or they look ...read more
I'm generally pretty good at walking in heels for a solid five hours, at which point I start looking for places where I can sit. The problem is I don't really own any in-between shoes: I have flat sandals and sky-high heels, but nothing in the middle. I simply can't get behind ...read more
An army green utility jacket is one of those layers that's always more versatile than you expect (I've worn mine over dainty lace dresses and my grungiest of jeans). Especially during the warmer months, it's a great jacket that can easily be thrown in a bag and brought out at ...read more
When I think of white shoes, they don't necessarily conjure up stylish images in my head: I'm reminded of the blindingly bright Converse kicks I had as a kid, the shoes my dad matched to his wedding tux (true story), and the bad platform flip flops I wore in college. But the ...read more
I've always loved the look of lucite when it comes to my home, so I'm happy that this trend has made its way to fashion in recent months. From clear straps on sandals to see-through bags, it's a fun accent for warmer months. This red Charlotte Olympia perplex clutch is a really ...read more
I love a printed mini skirt for warmer months, since it can be dressed up with heels for a night out or worn with a slouchy shirt and flats for brunch with girlfriends. I was immediately drawn to this Proenza Schouler skirt because of its metallic coloring and textured details. ...read more
Single-sole sandals are pretty much all I want to wear lately. They take a bit of getting used to, since they lack any platform to take the pressure off your knees, but I've convinced myself that it's worth it. They epitomize the sleek style of French women (see how to master it ...read more
This past weekend, Ferris Bueller's Day Off was on tv, so I stopped what I was doing so I could watch it (I regret not adding it to my list of irresistible movies). I've always loved everything about Sloane Peterson - her hair, her boots, and of course, that white leather fringe ...read more
I switch up my sunglasses often (and store them here for easy access) since they have the ability to transform the entire vibe of an outfit. I recently splurged on a pair of Illesteva sunglasses (seen here and here), which are similar to this multicolor pair. The quality of the ...read more
A good statement necklace, with intricate beading, bright colors, and an interesting shape, has become my quintessential go-to accessory. My preference will always be vintage gems that I pick up at flea markets, but when it comes to current jewelry designers, Tom Binns' creations ...read more
It's been a while since I last did a 'Crave or Save' post, so I decided to bring it back on a weekly basis, starting with Rag & Bone's Harrow booties and a similar pair from Steve Madden. I practically live in my VPL boots (seen here, here, and here), so I understand the ...read more
I'd been searching for leopard pumps for a while, but tracking down the right pair proved to be a lot more challenging than I realized. The print had to look realistic and not fake, the toe not too square or pointy, and with a heel that was delicate and not chunky. I got to ...read more
Last fall I practically wore down the entire five-inch heel of my Steve Madden booties (seen here, here and here) since I rarely took them off. They're made of suede, completely versatile and they're certainly my go-to boot for colder weather. This year I'm looking for even more ...read more
The LBD gets far too much praise in my book. Sure it's just about the safest way to ensure that you'll look sleek, sophisticated and slim, but it's also predictable beyond belief. Enter the long, white dress. If you have any hint of a tan (via lotion, of course), it's such a ...read more
As soon as the weather starts to turn balmy, I reach for breezy white dresses and colorful flats. It's a surefire combination that works season after season and is as easy as it is cheerful. When I first spotted these Lanvin Pom Pom Espadrilles, I was smitten with the bright ...read more
