Layers That Your Coat Will Thank You For

Thanksgiving ended not too long ago, and while I’m a huge fan of pumpkin pie, I went with pecan pie this year. All I have to say is, “Where has this been all of my life?” It’s not like it hasn’t been there throughout the years (floating around in holiday conversations and even passing by…

When Your Cute Handbag Turns Into a Not-So-Cute Situation

Gone were the days when I used to stuff my whole life into a handbag without a care in the world. Somewhere along the way, something shifted as I grew older. What had once been a bird’s nest of my cellphone, wallet, makeup bag, granola bars, pens, daily planner, and an iPod, now became just…

Shear Fashion Fears: 3 Hauntingly True Stories

It’s Halloween! I couldn’t think of a better way than to kick-start the day with a good ol’ sewing pun in the title (Fabric shears, anyone?) and share some fashion horror story moments that I’m sure are #relatable. So, grab a hot apple cider, hot chocolate, tea, or coffee, and let’s dive into it! BEWARE,…

Does it Seam Worth it?

Yes, you’ve read that correctly. That says seam. It’s not a typo, and it’s not autocorrect trying to write something ridiculous that has no relation to the context whatsoever, I promise. If you haven’t figured it out already, we’re going to be talking about clothing seams and why they’re so important to check before purchasing…

A Day in the Life of Earring Struggles

Earrings. What can I say? I have a love/hate relationship with them. I should preface and mention that when I was in seventh grade I got my ears pierced. Unfortunately, one ear-piercing ended up being slightly higher when compared to the other ear. While post earrings were my friend, fish-hook earrings were difficult to deal…

What if Your Closet was a Clothing Store?

What if your closet was a clothing store? Would it be the type of store that you walk into where everything is perfectly color-coordinated, outfits are displayed for inspiration, clothes are neatly folded, accessories have their own area? Or, would it be more like the fitting rooms that you dodge with clothing left halfway on…

#No Filter Fashion Fixes

Remember the time you waited until last-minute to buy a pair of shoes for that special event you had to go to? And then you rushed to every store that you could think of, but those three words greeted you every single time. Out-of-Stock. Your shoe size was nowhere to be found, and the only…

2017: A Year in Review of Makeup & Fashion

There’s something about sitting down at your computer to blog write that feels like visiting an old friend, after so much time has gone by, to catch up on everything. Even though things have changed in between, you just pick up right where you left off last time… 2017 was definitely a busy year filled…

Behind the Scenes of Fashion

When I was in high school, I remembered watching one too many episodes of America’s Next Top Model. I was inspired. Most nights, I’d come back from school, sit on the couch with my homework propped on top of a folder and write in between commercial breaks on the sofa arm. I was mesmerized by…

Rose Gold Accessories

If you’ve read my previous article about Express, then you’ll know that I became like Bex from Confessions of a Shopaholic during the scene where she goes to Henri Bendel and admires how gorgeous the green scarf on the mannequin is, tries to talk herself out of it, but ultimately buys it. Well, that was…

Express: Turnlock Cross Body Bag

I’ve never owned a taupe handbag before in my life. Now that I have one, I can’t imagine life without it. For the longest time, I’ve been meaning to build a basic handbag collection of white, cognac, taupe, and black. Yet, I’ve always found myself drawn to deep hunter greens, beautiful burgundies, teal, and the…

Kate Spade: Cameron Street Adalyn

I’ve always been the kind of person to buy one wallet and keep it for years and years until it is literally falling apart. In the past, wallets have never seemed like something I should invest in. I would buy wallets that were trendy and cute, rather than durable. I couldn’t justify buying an expensive…

It’s All in the Details

One of the things I love about military jackets, is that they go with almost any outfit, and are still considered contemporary in the fashion world even with the trends that come and go each season. This year especially, it seems like designers are taking the basic military jacket style and taking it up a…

Keeping Up with Contemporary

Once upon a time, I stared at everything in my closet and realized that the clothes once loved during my high school years, and college years, finally needed to go. I had collected a plethora of camis, trendy crop top t-shirts, and shirts that were so low cut that there was no way that it…

Rebecca Minkoff Hologram Bag

As much as I love over-sized handbags, because they’re perfect for throwing your travel essentials in, carrying snacks, and packing an extra sweater; I came to the realization after my vacation in Texas, that my Marc by Marc Jacobs Green Pebbled Leather Shoulder Bag was not perfect on days where I just wanted to carry…
