In anticipation of tonight’s Academy Awards (i.e. fashion’s biggest night), I am writing to you with, and about, red nails. Simply put, beautifully manicured red nails are one of style’s best accessories. Glamorous with a touch of retro, they make any outfit look more polished.
One word of advice: if you’re going red, please go short! Long nails in any dark color are a faux pas.

So I realize I’m getting slightly ahead of myself. As per a recent Mile High Style Facebook post, I promise to help you tackle a very challenging trend for the upcoming season: pastels. Before I lay into it, consider this scarf as the perfect introductory piece to pastels. Pair with J.Crew’s tapered khakis or boyfriend jeans and a white t-shirt; finish with Christy Lea Payne’s opal and pearl necklace.

I love boxes like a fat kid loves cake. I love buying them for myself, giving them as gifts, buying them to eventually give as gifts…
And this one, bejeweled and ballin’, I want for me, you, and everyone we know.

Seafoam is back, and I, for one, couldn’t be happier.
Early experiences have a funny way of coloring our later thoughts, feelings, and preferences about fashion. Watching Rear Window as a child, out of all of Grace Kelly’s spectacular outfits (chosen by the legendary costume designer Edith Head), her seafoam green suit made the biggest impression. Years later, I would be drawn to that color, first on my friend and style mentor Katie’s gorgeous Catherine Malandrino silk draped top, then on one of Balenciaga’s earliest motorcycle bags. My clients may remember me pulling the rare piece in this color and gushing (as I am prone to do) about its elegant appearance and limited availability… Although with this new season, availability is no longer an issue.
Trends reconnect us with past loves. Whether it’s an entire look of an era (like 70s-style secretary blouses and trouser jeans or 40s day dresses and red lipstick) or singular pieces of the past (neon or pastels), their re-emergence allows us another chance, not just to own but also to wear in your individual way.
