On a recent June gloomy day, I struggled to find the right piece to wear. Although it's nearly summer, a floral romper or dress felt aggressively upbeat, and not quite warm enough. While I've never been sailing, the weather feels reminiscent of crisp cold, coastal air and this ...read more
Every few seasons, an "it" silhouette of pant cycles through—from skinny jeans, to "boyfriend" jeans, to the current most in-demand style: cropped and flared (which I'm a huge fan of, as you've probably noticed from my Weekday Wardrobes). Since most of my cropped pants are denim ...read more
Because the vast majority of crop tops on the market are sleeveless and/or form-fitting, it's a cool twist to wear one that's more understated. This t-shirty crop top is long-sleeved, loose, and casual, which makes it feel sexier than one that hugs your abs. I've actually found ...read more
Usually I throw on striped shirts when I'm going for more of a casual outfit, but when paired with a contrasting pencil skirt in the same pattern, it immediately becomes business-meeting appropriate. I threw on this outfit and layered two of my favorite necklaces before heading ...read more
I’m a sucker for a stripe and this J.Crew Tunic could just as easily be worn over a bikini or a pair of shorts. I especially love the idea of pairing the simple navy and white color scheme with a bright, bold lip. ...read more
Catching a little bit of the golden hour is always a good reminder of how much I love long days and short nights. The city looks like it’s glowing. This evening was particularly colorful thanks to a very summer-appropriate gingham pencil skirt and nautical Breton top. ...read more
I have a few things in my closet that I reach for regularly (read: most days of the week). They're the pieces that I know will work, even if it's one of those times when everything I try on looks and feels terrible. So a few days ago when I was feeling a bit under the weather, I ...read more
Like most people, I end up wearing only a few of the items in my closet the majority of the time. In an attempt to pare down a lot of what I own, I've been pulling out pieces that I don't wear enough to see if they're worth holding onto. I live for a black or white blazer and a ...read more
At some point during the last year, I realized that I'd accumulated too many boring black dresses. They're practical, yes, and clearly versatile, but any time I had to get dressed up, I wasn't inspired. As much as I'd try to make things pop with a fun shoe or bright lip, the end ...read more
Anytime I'm unsure of what to wear, I'll usually opt for a striped shirt thrown over jeans. It's a classic combination that always works and can take on a variety of updates - a pair of sexy stilettos, a masculine belt, or a baseball cap on particularly troublesome hair days. But ...read more
I did my best to have a quintessentially lazy weekend, at least modified to my own liking. As much as I love the idea of lounging around all day in my pajamas, I've come to terms with the fact that I don't know how to sleep in (does 7:15am count?), I get antsy if I watch too much ...read more
After too many last-minute Halloween costumes dressed head-to-toe in fatigues, the allure of camouflage-anything kind of wore out its welcome. But when I saw this jacket, I went to two different Gap stores to track one down in my size. It's one of those easy pieces that I can ...read more
As demonstrated before, I'm a huge fan of stripes; especially when it comes to dresses. They're perfect for just about any occasion and they lend a crisp and casual vibe when paired with a cropped jacket or colorful espadrilles. No matter what your budget, these are some of ...read more
I certainly would not consider myself an avid watcher of television, but when it comes to shows that are centered around fashion, I can become rather obsessed. While I'm eagerly anticipating the premiere of Project Runway tonight, I can't help but look ahead to September 1st, ...read more
