So... I have some big news... I've moved! Yup, I officially graduated, loaded up my car, drove to NYC, and hiked all my possessions up six flights of stairs. Isn't being young glamorous? Now I do New Yorker things like go running in Central Park before work and roll my eyes at lost tourists who … Continue reading Bright Lights, Big City
There's a reason the 1960s are-- even in the 21st century-- a source of fashion inspiration. Hint: that reason is because the swinging '60s were iconic in every sense of the word; skirts were ulta-mini, Twiggy introduced us to lashes for days, and women were really beginning to embrace pants. It seemed that every fashion rule … Continue reading 21st Century Flower Power
So I have a secret. I don't really shop. I know, I know. What fashion blogger doesn't shop? Like being a vegetarian, I'm not a shop-a-holic for a number of reasons. Top two: I'm broke and I'm busy (welcome to college, friends). A close third is that I learned about the environmental impact of fashion last … Continue reading One Dress | Three Ways
Professional looks are often just so blah. Cardigans over blouses, black boxy suits, khaki slacks... yawn. It's like we all got together and decided that to be professional means to be the most boring version of yourself. But it doesn't have to be that way! You can play by the rules and still have a bit … Continue reading Professionally Chic
If there's one thing you should all know about me by now, it's that I adore all things French. The bread, the language, the cheese, the wine, the style-- I'm in love with everything. There's a reason they're known as some of the most fashionable of us all; the French aren't big into loud colors or … Continue reading Je Ne Sais Quoi
It's the most wonderful time of the year. No, not the holiday season. Better. It's New York Fashion Week! Once again, I'm holding down the fort here in North Carolina and not gracing the snowy streets of New York (sigh). I have been to exactly one fashion show in my life--during Men's Fashion Week this … Continue reading New York Fashion Week
Happy Valentine's Day, darlings! While we all know the real holiday is February 15th, when the candy goes on sale, Valentine's day is still a welcome relief from the February Funk. It's a chance to dress as romantically as my heart wants, which honestly is the real dream. My valentine has got to be this tulle … Continue reading Valentine’s Day
Living in North Carolina for the past three and a half years has taught me two things: 1. "Bless your heart" is not a compliment. 2. Never trust the weather. Don't let the snow fool you, this outfit is surprisingly weather appropriate. The skirt/OTK boot combo is perfect for those freakishly warm winter days that have … Continue reading Edgy + OTK
If I've earned the title of minimalist, it's only out of sheer laziness. While I believe Coco Chanel was onto something when she advised taking one accessory off before leaving the house, I generally do the exact opposite. Nothing makes me feel more Parisian than minimalism, though. And we all know how much I love the … Continue reading Minimalist Vibes
Of all the holidays, NYE is the most fun to dress for. While the actual holiday does not rank top of my list, the outfit possibilities definitely do (for the record: I don't have any problems with toasting in the new year; I do have problems with the state of the gym post-new years). For me, … Continue reading Twirling into 2017
