Easter is upon us and some may even argue the same thing for spring!* The change of season, promise of renewed life, and even a warm, albeit brief, breeze is all the motivation us shopaholics need to pick up some refresher pieces for our closets. It’s a holiday weekend so that may mean several or
Hiver
If you’re of a more chic descent or study, you’ll note that the title of this post is french for winter. Doesn’t everything sound better in french? I am not of chic descent or high-school study so I’m currently teaching myself french via an app on my phone. This week I’m learning seasons..which is actually metaphorical on so
Get Loose – Winter Edition
Last week, I mused about winterizing a very un-warmthed wardrobe into one that can handle nor’easters and blizzards with ease. This week, I’ll share what I’ve come up with. As I’ve struggled thought sub-zero dressing, I’ve turned frequently to whowhatwear’s 30 Day Winter Challenge! It’s had me doing all sorts of things like belting chunky
Winterize Me, Baby
It’s still winter, in case you forgot. My southern girl roots have grown deep in the thought that February brings Valentines day AND light jackets! Such a thesis, coupled with the fact that I am employed by an industry that works 6 months ahead and you’ll find me in a real conundrum every morning at
Revamp 2015: Back to Black and Blues
Resolved – to step up my game. Resolved – to be more adventurous. Resolved – to try new things. Sound familiar? There’s something about January 1 that elicits motivation. And then there’s something about January 13th that conjures fatigue. Most resolutions are well intended, but the clutter of life and disappearance of the holidays makes our
I Really Can't Stay..Oh But You Can!
At this point, we’ve been grinding through the Holiday Season with fervor. But how long can that last? Last week, I sneak-shopped gifts for my husband, hosted a Christmas Party on the Upper West Side, ran around to pick up 2 last minute secret santa gifts, traveled to New Jersey for a work Christmas Party
#WANTLIST: Holiday Gift Guides
It’s very fair to say we are now in Holiday crunch time. At this point, Secret Santa exchanges are about to go down. Christmas party partaking is in full swing. Oh and yeah, the big day is less than 2 weeks away. The hardest thing about crunch time is the shoppers-block. You know, the thing
On Friendsgiving and Sneaky-Dressy Looks
If you are in your 20’s and living in a city that is not your hometown, there is a very good chance that you will be participating in a Friends-giving celebration. Due to the fact that we are still bound to the constrains of a iron-clad, total black out date work schedule, Ryan and I
Grey Gardens
Isn’t there something so refreshing about the color grey? It’s the coziest color, by far – none ever wants to snuggle up in an olive green afghan or feels quietly pulled together in a plum and polka dot slouchy cardigan! But Grey…draping ourselves in grey is like the pre-cursor to “holiday” dress. You see, in about
Farm Fresh: Back to My Roots
As noted last week, this little city mouse headed home for a few days. Typically a trip home is met with complete comatose to the outside world or a mad-dash of shopping excursions and hour long crash-course updates on old friend’s lives. This time, we actually had the chance to shoot some pretty looks in
