Ready your ankles because there’s about ta be a whole lotta room in the region below your calf and above your foot. That’s right, wide-leg, flared, and trouser jeans are staking a claim for legitimacy this season. The ol’ skinny jean + heel look is a trusty standby but now the fashion gods are asking
This Time Last Year – A NYFW Story
Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week is has come and gone once again and New York City is a-buzz and a-twitter (really) with the constant sightings of supermodels and super ensembles. It’s amazing feeling to sit in the crowd at a show at Lincoln Center, watch the lights fade and glow and see the tallest, slinkiest 19 year
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
Consciously, Stylishly Coupling
My husband and I are way into day dates. I’m not exactly sure why, but I think it has to do with working retail for a long time and frequently losing the middle part of the day to being stuck inside a boutique. Also, at night, I fall asleep. LIKE QUICK. If I’m not asleep,
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
SMP Travel Diaries
I’ve learned over the past few weeks that October = vacation time in the city. It’s the sweet spot when the busy launching pad of August and September flurry of activity has subsided and the hectic holiday season has not yet begun. Business is hopefully moving along smoothly and we can all step back for
Fashion, meet Fitness
HAPPY SATURDAY – I hope you’re reading this after a long and lovely brunch. Recently, I had the opportunity have the role of Creative Director and Stylist of a “test photoshoot with several talented ladies in the industry. We all were looking to get some fresh work under our belt and you know what they
#FlashbackFriday & Transitional Weather
The following pictures are exactly why I stand firm on the fact that summer isn’t really over until October. As a Southern girl, I’m prepared to wear my shorts well into October, but now that I’ve migrated up north I was fully prepared to retire summer-gear right after Labor Day. But then this gorgeous weekend
Bad Hair Day
I’m really straddling the line with my lob (long-bob) lately. I think I’m growing it out but this is still up for debate, just trying to go where the spirit leads me with my hair right now. Mostly I love my short-ish hair, but this particular day I had two things going against me:
Stripes on Stripes
Typically, when it comes to summer, I’m a minimalist. I wear nothing extraneous, nothing superfluous. One tank, floaty and sheer, one worn-in pair of shorts (rarely pants – I have a pretty strict no-pants rule in the summer), and perhaps one long chain necklace. But like anyone who gets stuck in a routine, my go-to
