I’ve just returned from High Point Market, where I spent four glorious days wandering the showrooms and touring the new collections from established and up-and-coming interiors brands alike. The trip was a success by every measure: I connected with friends old and new, got a solid sense for the trends and happenings of the design […]
I don’t know what it is about this year’s fall fashions, but I’ve caught the bug and I’m feverishly updating my wardrobe! It’s fun to be invigorated by my outfit options again, after several seasons of feeling a little ‘meh’ about my closet’s contents. I’m chalking my renewed interest up to some seriously interesting trends […]
There’s a handful of fashion blog headlines that are like kryptonite for me. The ones I’m most vulnerable to are those having anything to do with how French girls dress. You know the ones I mean. “Every French Girl Has These Three Things In Her Closet!” Or, “French Girls Never Make This Mistake When Leaving […]
Whenever I’m in Europe, I can spot the Swedish travelers a mile away. For starters, they are the dictionary definition of ‘robust’ and put my schleppy tourist vibes to shame with their strapping athleticism and beaming good health. Oh, and they’re a stylish bunch—with the men all in slim trousers and the women in breezy, […]
Let me preface this by saying I am not the type of person to get the same item of clothing in multiple colors. No matter how much I like a piece, I’m simply too much of a wardrobe commitment-phobe to take that leap. At least I thought I was, that is, until I discovered Cuyana’s […]
One of my favorite looks is a crisp, clean, all-white outfit that centers around a pair of white jeans. And tragically, one of my biggest fashion conundrums is how to wear all white—without feeling like a hospital orderly or a Heaven’s Gate acolyte. All summer long, I watched wistfully from afar while creamy monochromatic looks […]
There’s no question that I love living in Southern California. The weather and the scenery really can’t be beat. But for half the year in LA, there’s one thing I don‘t get to enjoy very often: wearing jeans! The temps from May through October climb pretty high around here, making long denim but a wistful […]
If you’re old enough to remember the 80’s and you had a mom like mine, you spent a lot of time in health food stores. These weren’t the slick and stylish natural grocery chains of the present day. Nope, they were cramped and crammed full of bulk bins and tofu blocks. The store always had […]
When it comes to crafting a pared-down wardrobe, there’s a lot to be said for a great fold, drape, or tie. An outfit that otherwise might read as meh suddenly becomes marvelous with a little extra attention to unique constructions. Lately I’ve been stocking my closet with crisp, architectural modern basics that use subtle but effective […]
We’ve entered that phase of the summer where my decision making filter for clothing is “what can I wear that won’t stick to me when I move”. When the temps climb above 100, the last thing I want is an outfit that doesn’t breathe! Flowy, gauzy, barely-there pieces are the rule of the day, and […]
Hello from the coast of Washington State! I’m here on San Juan Island to celebrate the nuptials of Cassandra Lavalle (who you may know best as Ms. Coco Kelley!) and we’re very much enjoying the Pacific North West summer scenery. The peonies are in full bloom, the water sparkles with sunlight, and a fresh green […]
I’m in a weird place with my summer wardrobe. More and more my tastes and habits run towards simple, easy, no-nonsense picks. It’s as though my brain is so preoccupied with everything else I have going on (meetings! photo shoots! emails! pet snuggles! more emails! even more pet snuggles!) that the last thing it wants […]
