cami

Just as versatile as a white tank but a bit dressier, this basic camisole is the perfect piece to wear under your navy blazer (or cardigan), with jeans and a statement necklace.  This is a perfect chic, yet casual outfit. Dress up with heels and down with oxfords.

pillow

Like all areas of life, your home’s decor should never be that serious. Humor, whimsy, irony, kitsch, should all be represented, in small ways, in your home’s style.

red suit

In the world of high fashion, one ‘look’, one amazingly powerful look that totally captures the style zeitgeist, can make you fall in love with a designer.

I ran into a collegue today who mentioned reading my post about Anthropologie and agreeing that most of their tops are impulse purchase, wear once or twice and donate kind of items. We spoke a bit about the lack of options for casual yet stylish everyday wear- something beyond the boring basic-ness of American Apparel but… [Cont.]

brooch

During the cold weather months, as long sleeves and high necks conceal some of our best jewelry, it’s important to find other ways to accessorize. In that vein, a brooch becomes an integral way to embellish an outfit, especially one featuring the jacket/blazer, a staple piece in the closets of all my clients.  The two… [Cont.]

louboutins

When most women wish for Louboutins, they covet the highest, sexiest, most badass of the bunch. Me, I crave the chic simplicity that only a shoe of this caliber can embody. And always, always in navy blue.
