Blazer on So Much to Smile About

Blazer Love

Thu, 19 Apr 2012 15:01:13 +0000

I love a good blazer, especially with this all over the place weather we’ve been having! They’re so easy to throw on and absolutely pull a look together. Plus, I think I have at least ten hanging in my closet – so when all else fails, blazer time!

Smythe Spring

It’s been a busy week trying to get caught up on work/life/blog/laundry after my weekend in Wisconsin – but these looks from Smythe really made me stop and smile! How cute are they? I think my next purchase will be something with elbow patches. Adorable.

Blanco Spring 2011

Tue, 29 Mar 2011 00:00:00 +0000

I just discovered Blanco thanks to Hip Hip Gin Gin and I’m already in love! Perfectly nautical and springy, I’m dying over the stripes and prints and mix-matching that looks so put together and yet so relaxed. I’ll repeat myself – where ARE you spring?!

For The Boys

Mon, 21 Mar 2011 00:00:00 +0000

Even though female fashion is my main interest, my male readers/friends keep asking for a post for them – and I have to say, a well-dressed man does make me smile (right, ladies?). Luckily, the online shopping site Mr. Porter, Net-a-Porter‘s male counterpart, launched last month and inspired me to finally put something together for the boys. And, oh, the man that shops here will be a good looking man. In addition to putting together outfits, Mr. Porter also has style advice, how-to manuals, articles, a glossary, and a great new list of the top 32 classic items every man should own for spring and summer. Below are just a few of my picks off that list, which includes essential items like the blue suit, trench, blue blazer, grey trousers, chinos, sweaters and more. Keep in mind if the prices are a bit high, you can apply the same style advice and find similar items at stores like Banana Republic, Gap, and J.Crew. So get shopping, guys, and make the ladies smile!

Gestuz

Even though we got a bit of snow in DC today, I’m still thinking only of spring – and am loving these spring looks from Gestuz. The clothes are made for the girl who “has a hint of scandal and sweetness in her eye when she meets the world,” and I love that they’re a bit rock ‘n roll but still wearable enough for every day. Leather jackets, light blazers, tapered trousers, maxi dresses, and cut out details? Yes, please.

I just love this editorial. The fun prints, perfect accessories – and Clémence looks amazing. Now, how to make that light blue jacket mine?

DKNY Spring 2011

Thu, 20 Jan 2011 00:00:00 +0000

The DKNY spring 2011 ad campaign, photographed by Nathaniel Goldberg and styled by Alastair McKimm, stars Heidi Mount alongside Kori Richardson, Tatiana Turin and others. Like the runway show, it features smart khaki pieces, a signature “scarf cozy blouse,” and cute, very wearable skirts and dresses. I love the idea of using a scarf as a piece of clothing, or just knotting one around the neck to add a little something extra. And that ruffled skirt with the pink blazer? Love.

Window Shopping: Lands’ End Canvas

Mon, 08 Nov 2010 00:00:00 +0000

How cute are these outfits from Lands’ End Canvas? (Yes, Lands’ End!) The pleats and plaid are perfect for the winter months! What’s even better? They’re made using earth-friendly practices and community-boosting initiatives and the company is based out of my home state of Wisconsin!
