WITH LOVE, PEACH

with-love-peach

If it looks like activewear, feels like activewear, and wears like activewear…. it’s probably activewear. But what happens when it’s also made out of satin and velvet and is inspired by rich colors and Parisian architecture? If you’re me, you make an outfit with your best pair of heels & a statement necklace, and you go somewhere fabulous. Who doesn’t want to go to a party in their PJs?I recently discovered Peach, a brand that designs contemporary fashion for gym, work, and play, and immediately fell in love. What separates Peach from other athletic wear…

GIVIN’ IT THE BOOT, FOR $100 OR LESS

Season after season I go through the same struggle; find a pair of OTK boots with a heel I can walk in, that don’t look too “Julia Roberts a la Pretty Woman”, and actually zip over my calves. And are cute, chic, and won’t eat up all of this month’s spending money, of course. Urban shoe myth? NOPE. They exist. I’ve found them (here). And I may never take them off again.Looking for a way to amp up your fall/winter shoe game while still giving your bank account the respect it deserves? I got…

ON THE SPOT: SHOP YOUR CLOSET

Despite the fact that it’s been unseasonably warm the past few weeks (not joking- the temperature as I’m writing this is 83 degrees. What up, October!), I’m elbow deep in the process of transitioning my wardrobe for fall. What is it about a new season that makes us all yearn for a fresh start? And while I am all for picking up new pieces as the weather changes, truth be told, I’m a bigger believer in “shopping your closet,” i.e. taking a good, hard look at what you already own from last season and finding…

BE A GOOD SPORT

In keeping with the spirit of making memories through fashion, let’s flash back for a minute.It was 1998 and I was just about to start Junior High School- aka the first fashion phase in life I look back on with a gigantic cringe (shout out to the Delia*s for the killer wardrobe ideas! NOT). I was dealing with all of the usual nerves that tend to present themselves when navigating a pretty big life transition, but more than anything I felt excited. Excited for a bigger school, new friends, and the freedom to begin defining the soon…

FRINGE BENEFITS

It doesn’t matter how old I get- talking about fashion with my friends is always going to be something I do. When I was in high school, it was all about getting ready together- i.e. schlepping all of my “going out tops” over to a friend’s house and trading clothes so we each could have something new to wear that day. For the record, all of this effort was so we could look cute while sitting in someone else’s basement. Hilarious.In college, it was checking in to see who was wearing what out that night…

GET IN LINES

CONFESSION: I could wear a striped shirt every day for two weeks straight (CORRECTION: I probably have) and not run out of options or need to do laundry. No, I’m not moonlighting as Where’s Waldo. And yes, I know you’ve been told they’re super unflattering unless you’re a 6 foot tall Parisian woman riding around town on a bicyclette. But I say, “C’est Faux!” Stripes are my jam. And always have been. It would be the understatement of the century to say that I haven’t gone through my fair share of awkward…

OVER THE RAINBOW

I can pretty much pinpoint the moment that my love affair with gingham began. It was 1995, and I had spent the majority of that summer transcribing the entire Wizard of Oz (word for word) on a giant stack of college-ruled notebook paper. I can’t really give you a valid reason why I did it. The Wizard of Oz is a favorite, yes, and there’s obviously the Judy Garland angle, but decades later the only thing I can deduce is there was something about the music, the colors and the wardrobe that made me yearn to commit…
