Don’t Forget Your Umbrellas!
Don’t Forget Your Umbrellas!
It’s spring, indeed. I can tell because the rain is coming down every morning that I want to wear sandals and a sundress. It’s not quite summer yet, I remind myself. We’ve had some warm days, but it won’t be summer until I get my daily 3PM ice cream craving.
I don’t disdain the rain, however. My basil plant sure does love it, and it makes me utilize some of my wardrobe staples in a creative way. Some of my favorite things to pair together are:
My black motorcycle boots (although if this look is too tough for you, standard wellies look great as well):
Frye Women's Belted Harness 12" Motorcycle Boots
or perhaps….
Diesel Gummy Black Wellington Rain Boots
A miniskirt sounds counter-intuitive but I’ve found it to be my rainy day solution [...] Continue reading →
The Perfect Structured Tote
My current favorite “It Bag” is the Celine Luggage Mini traveler bag.
Celine Luggage Mini traveler bag
It’s been spotted on a bunch of fashion-forward types like Mary Kate Olsen. I love that it looks chic and minimal and ready to get to work. It also looks like the one bag that could keep all of my makeup, an iPad, a phone, and maybe even a spare pair of underwear in it, while still maintaining its shape. I also love that it is devoid of typical luxury attachments (logos, heavy hardware) and instead is about the structure of the bag and its shape.
One could splurge on the Luggage Mini for its four digit price tag, but since I love to hunt for the right price, I am looking at other accessories with a minimal spirit, large size, and structural wings.
I found these alternatives:

Psyched for Stripes
The horizontal Breton stripe has been popular on the street for a few years now. I wasn’t truly in love with the idea until I saw Ewan McGregor sport a variety of striped sweaters in “Beginners” The Breton stripe, once a uniform for the French navy in Brittany, now inhabits my wardrobe in many forms. It is an easy basic to wear, and I like the classic navy and white stripe the best. To mix it up past its “Paris and preppies” routine, I have been pairing my striped tops with other prints in the same color family, wearing them with long boho skirts, or trying to find interesting Breton variations. The recent Altuzarra collection for J.Crew has a few not-your-usual-Breton variations, and I think the Patricia Dress is a great example, just waiting to be dressed up or down w [...] Continue reading →
Staying Stylish Through The Sweat
I love yoga. I also love sweating it out at the gym. Occasionally you can find me in both places on the same day. As it is not always an option for me to have multiple changes of clothes on my typical weekday, I try to integrate pieces of my workout attire into my daily look. It keeps my rec bag light. This isn’t to say I’m jaunting around in a hooded sweatshirt and running shorts, but I do layer tanks and sometimes even yoga pants into a professional look; they are great base layers and are super comfortable! In order to not look like a slob, I prefer yoga clothes that look like more than just pajama bottoms (I save those for the weekends). Here are a few of my current favorites from some of the more stylish yoga brands:
Lululemon Power Vinyasa Crop
Beyond Yoga Y- Back Cami

A Love Affair With Dresses
Have you ever been in love with a dress? I have a long history of falling in love with dresses, from a daisy print mesh number in the 90’s as a teenager (Contempo Casuals anyone?) to this Marchesa runway stunner:

I have been in love with it since it walked down the runway in February for Fall 2012. It seems I am always in love with one Marchesa dress or another, but there is no way that I can simply purchase one every season. (One day, perhaps. I can dream.)So what is a girl to do but look at all of the other gorgeous gowns of the world with slightly smaller price tags?
This Twelfth St by Cynthia Vincent maxidress has the same airy, feminine appeal, but is fit for daytime:

Sweet Embellishments – Eyelet for Spring
I surprised a friend the other day when I passed by Club Monaco and commented that I wanted a pair of the shorts in the window. They were out of character for me because they were #1 white and #2 eyelet. He wondered if I was feeling alright.
The truth of the matter is, I am feeling great about spring and summer and cannot wait for higher temperatures to take over. Eyelet embraces the feminine themes that the floral and pastel trends are nodding to, but seems to be a better style match for me personally. I think that for some of us, eyelet can be a safer alternative as it comes in all of our traditional neutral colors: navy, black, nude, white. I am also tempted to match all of eyelet’s sweetness with a leather jacket or big heels; anything to juxtapose the sweetness with a bit of edge.
