It’s all about the finishing touches, right? I’ve always loved dresses because they are “one-and-done” pieces. In fact, there’s something magical about slipping into a summer dress—the way it catches the breeze, the freedom it gives your silhouette, and the instant polish it adds to your day. They don’t need much to shine. However, details matter—even the subtle ones. Wondering how to style a summer dress elegantly?…
Last week, I learned a long overdue style lesson: The best way to roll up your shirt sleeves. It came courtesy of a brand you’ve likely seen all over your Instagram feed, Frank & Eileen. The California-based brand collabs w/ celebs like Juliane Moore to create pieces like this shirt and is known for well-designed classics. Curious, I popped over to its button-up styling guide and mind blown!…
Okay petite friends… Have you ever felt you had to wear sky high heels to compensate for your lack of height? Years ago, I assumed towering heels were my only option. Anything less would make my already short legs look even shorter. Nope! Turns out, I was neglecting some key fashion and design principles with that line of thinking. In reality, the best shoes for petites come in many styles—even flats.…
When I saw the Princess of Wales in this elegant knit set, I was itching to wear it too. It’s quite refreshing to see celebrities choose clothing at a price point accessible to normal people too. There’s just one problem… She’s 5’9, I’m 4’11. Can someone my height recreate the Kate Middleton Sezane look?
In this post, we’ll talk about translating celeb styles so they flatter your unique frame.…
We might be most accustomed to shorter hemlines in the summer. However, if you’re packing away your mini skirts at the start of fall, you’re missing out on a world of styling opportunity! This is an ideal time to use your mini to show off a great pair of boots (this pair is in my cart), a cozy sweater, or a penchant for layering.…
It was like walking through a postcard from another era… Everywhere you look, you find yourself imagining the people who walked these halls before you. Never have I been so charmed (and artistically inspired)by a hotel before. It’s no wonder this Art Deco gem was nominated for “Best Boutique Hotel” by USA Today! In this Bottleworks Hotel review, I aim to answer all your the FAQs about the hotel.…
You might be able to tell from the photo. I am peachy keen about these block heels. They took me by surprise in the best possible way. You see, my approach to shoes has not always been what you might call foot-friendly. Much like Celine Dion’s viral quote, “When a girl loves her shoes, she will always make them fit” – I’d grab the pretty shoe even if it hurt.…
We all have our standards when it comes to choosing a great dress. However, those standards tend to elevate when it comes to selecting a travel dress. These need to pass muster in more ways than one! You need versatility, durability, functionality – and you want it all in a one-and-done piece. Oh, there’s the wrinkle factor too… We don’t exactly travel with an ironing board, so these also need to pack well.…
When it comes to women’s workwear, we have more options than ever. Gone are the days of regimented office attire. In fact, with hybrid work limiting the amount of “in office” days for many women, it seems workwear is getting more creative. Whether you lean prim and proper, colorfully eclectic, sleek and minimal, or whimsical and feminine, your work wardrobe is an important channel for personal expression.…
When I visited Scandinavia last summer, one thing grabbed my attention immediately. Linen – It was everywhere. Linen pants, linen dresses, linen shirts… Everywhere I turned, I spotted another impeccably chic Swede rocking linen like an off-duty supermodel. Meanwhile, every time I’ve tried linen, I felt like a rumpled mess. What did they know, that I didn’t!? Since the country is known for its clean design and minimalist fashion (this article explains), I explored Swedish linen styling strategies and quickly fell in love with the fabric. …
