Spring has finally sprung! Well, according to the calendar, that is. Though the temps seem to still fluctuate, here in DC the cherry blossoms are in bloom, a sure sign that winter’s end is in sight. Nothing says ‘spring’ like flowers, in nature as well as fashion and florals are definitely a trend to watch. […]
Ruffles. Lots and lots of ruffles. They seem to have been everywhere this spring/summer. You’ve seen them on dresses, skirts, off-the-shoulder tops and even pants. But as much as I love fashion and style, I can’t really say I’ve always been a fan of ruffles or frills. I used to find them way too fussy, […]
Not sure where it’s come from, but I’ve sorta developed a thing for stripes. Wide ones, thin ones, black, white and navy ones. There’s something about them that’s both fun and fashion-forward. Whether in a top, skirt, dress or pant, the bold print is a statement-maker and a definite attention-grabber. While a thin subtle pinstripe […]
Ah, the allure of bare skin. It’s a definite staple of summer. In fact it seems the higher the temps, the more skin you’re bound to see. One of the biggest trends of the last few seasons has certainly been all about showing skin, but in a subtle way. I’m speaking about the wildly popular […]
At last, the long-awaited season of summer is finally here! As a definite sun worshiper I welcome the heat and yes, even the humidity, with open arms. It’s the perfect time to boast bright, bold color. I have to admit for a very long time I shied away from wearing anything I then saw as […]
The unofficial start of summer is here! Memorial Day weekend has come to an end, but you know what that means: time to shed some layers and give way to looks that welcome the sun! Sun worshipers, rejoice! The holiday was not only a great opportunity for cookouts and that first beach trip this new […]
I’m a sucker for animal print. All kinds. Leopard. Cheetah. Zebra. Giraffe. There’s something oh so fabulous and effortlessly stylish about them all. They can jazz up the simplest ensemble, taking it to a whole new level of chic. What I love about it is you don’t have to go overboard with a head-to-toe print. […]
Black and white. It’s probably the safest, simplest and most basic wardrobe combination there is. For me it started back in the day with those elementary school assemblies and choir performances when the requisite uniform was a white shirt and black bottoms. Boring, right? That’s what I thought then but now, not so much. I’ve since […]
From time to time people ask what kinds of items they should have in their wardrobe. Since most of us don’t have unlimited budgets or closet space, I do believe there are pieces that are must-haves for every fashionista; items that will have maximum impact and offer the most versatility. Among such essentials are a […]
We’ve all said it: there just don’t seem to be enough hours in a day! As a busy woman on the go if I can find ways to maximize my wardrobe and budget, I’m all for it. While shopping is definitely a favorite pastime, being able to stretch the pieces already in my closet […]
