I AM A…

i-am-a

What do you want to be when you grow up? Throughout our lives, we’re asked this question time and time again. When we’re little, our answers tend to be born out of our wildest imaginations. A baseball player, an astronaut, or a princess, we might have replied. (Or, in my case, a ballerina.) When we got a bit older, we were asked again. And as we naturally grew and gained a better understanding of the world around us, our answers became more rooted in reality. A teacher, a fireman, a doctor, we might have answered. (Or in my…

NOTORIOUS LBD

It’s true you can never really go wrong with a little black dress (LBD). And stocking your closet with a few go-to options is one of the smartest ways to do your wardrobe right. Whether dressed up or dressed down, for work or for play, a good LBD is almost always appropriate. And easy. And sometimes you just need easy! But as we all know very well, the moment you realize you’re in need of a really good go-to dress is precisely the moment you won’t be able to find one. (Why oh why does…

THIS OR THAT │10 Questions + Story Templates

Hey, Instagrammers! Has anyone else been really enjoying those “this or that”/ “get to know me” templates floating around insta-story lately? They remind me of a combination of those old Cosmo magazine quizzes and the chain email questionnaires we all used to forward to our friends in the good old days of AOL. Such a fun way to get to know each other, don’t you think?I’ve gotten a few questions about where to get these templates, so I’ve taken the liberty of sharing a few of my favorite graphic designers/bloggers who have templates you…

VALENTINE’S DAY IN VELVET

If you were born in the 80’s, you probably have a family/school/holiday photo of the childhood version of yourself in some sort of velvet get-up (complete with a matching hair bow, if you’re me). And due to the trauma of living through this trend (thanks, Mom!) it took me almost 30 years to finally give velvet a go a second time. And my oh my, what I’ve missed.Long gone are the days of stuffy/stretchy velvet pieces that make you so sweaty you can’t actually enjoy yourself. Hello to flowy details, off…

A PLEDGE FOR 2018

Hello, old friends! I hope you all had an amazing holiday. After a much needed break, complete with some serious unplugging, a lot of movies, and a week long vacation in the Caribbean (more on that later!) it’s really good to see you all again.2017 was definitely a year for the books, though I’ve yet to determine what category to file that book under. I think we can all agree that this past year tried our patience and challenged our acceptance of the social, cultural and political climate around us. Was it rocky? Heck yes. But it…

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…
