I usually just wear my Ray-Ban wayfarers all summer, but I’m thinking it’s time for something new. What do you think? Cat eye? Tortoise shell? Aviators? What’s your favorite sunglasses style?

Tie-Neck Blouse

The tie-neck blouse: a bit 70s inspired, very feminine and perfect for work or play.

Pretty In Pleats

Fri, 25 Mar 2011 00:00:00 +0000

Having just recently declared my love for pleated pants, I found the feature on “Soft Pleats” in the April 2011 issue of Marie Claire to be particularily well-timed. But rather than focus on pants, Marie Claire looked to pleated skirts, saying the “delicate fanlike folds graduate from schoolgirl skirts to clever grown-up lengths.” It appears the ladylike “trend,” along with these ultra-femme skirts, isn’t going away anytime soon (then again, isn’t dressing like a lady always in style?). According to the New York Times, “so much modesty has never gone so far.”

It’s A Long Story

I posted previously on maxi skirts, but for those of you (you know who you are!) who are looking for maxi dresses, here are some great options (all under $100). Anthropologie also has some cute choices if you don’t mind spending a bit more.

p.s. while you’re shopping, don’t forget about Japan and others who still need help…

Coachella Style

Wed, 16 Mar 2011 00:00:00 +0000

A friend of mine is lucky enough to be going to Coachella this year, and has been stressing over what to wear while she’s there. I did some digging around and was instantly inspired. Ohhh how I wish I were going…

Last year, Refinery 29 put together some style tips “to help you stay cool and looking cooler” at Coachella and other music festivals:

Printed dress + belt = an easy perfect outfit
Use sunscreen!
Store your crap in a utilitarian vest (or cross-body bag)
Top it off with a hat (and/or cool sunglasses)
Pick some pieces with built-in ventilation
Consider a bandeau bra under a loose fitting shirt or on its own
Go with a daring up-do (braids, bun, clips…)

Do you have any tips that are missing?

Chevron

As you can tell by the background of my blog, I’m a big fan of chevron. It’s stripes, but funkier. So consider adding some chevron to your life!

Window Shopping: Asos

Mon, 11 Oct 2010 00:00:00 +0000

Asos recently launched their e-commerce site for the US – which means online shopping just got that much more fun. Fab Sugar posted their favorite pieces, and after a few hours of browsing, I’ve come up with mine. This could be trouble.

Faux Fur Leopard Coat, Heeled Shoe Boot

Suede Court Shoes, Wool Peg Pant

Chino Pants, Slouch Pocket Pants
