Creating that perfect silhouette happens in two ways: (1) the way in which your clothing is cut or tailored and (2) the correct belt and where it is worn. It is not enough to have the right belt, it must be worn in the right place. Belts are an under-appreciated accessory in my opinion. They [...]

You know how perfume should be placed at your pulse points for maximum alluring effect? I feel the same way about jewelry. Most especially bracelets – hanging ever so elegantly at the curve of your wrist while you use your hands to tell a story. And there’s something about a bangle – the solid, unyielding [...]

Transitioning from winter to spring doesn’t have to be a big deal – especially with colored denim. I’m over at momtastic today working with a fantastic pair of red jeans and putting together an easy outfit for any day. Just be sure to add a little extra swing in your hips for these red jeans.

It’s Spring Break week here and I’ve been thinking about an upcoming trip to Miami in early May. I’ve never been to Miami, but I have a Life List item to dance is a small dress and tall heels in South Beach. I’m hoping I get my chance. Until then there is daydreaming about conference-going [...]

These go-anywhere frames are wearable by just about anyone, [...]

Otherwise known as,”Winter 2012 we are SO done with you.” If it’s 74 degrees here, 60 degrees in New York and Vermont has hardly any snow? I’m calling it SPRING. Even in the middle of February. WRITE IT DOWN. And since it’s now SPRING for all intents and purposes, it’s time to think turquoise. Let’s [...]

hoes are taking a memo from the color-blocking craze this spring – in the form of wide-strapped sandals. In a bold “up-the-ante” move, shoes have had a meeting and it’s a silver moment that takes the stage for spring 2012. I completely approve. I’m over at momtastic today talking about silver, wide-strapped sandals and picking [...]

Shop: BCBG ‘Lardenas’ | Calvin Klein ‘Felisha’ | Kate Spade Leopard | Vince Camuto ‘Stacie’ | Sam Edelman ‘Jayla’ | Delman ‘Larue’ Oh, the ankle bootie. I will admit to being a late adopter of this trend, but I blame the 80s and their silly tiny slouchy boots that made no sense to me. The [...]
