The Ultimate Way to Wear White Pants

It’s always hard for me to pick a favorite item of clothing — but right now, I’m trending toward white pants. I’ve been wearing my pair of AG white jeans every week since last summer (seen here), and a few months ago, I decided the up the ante with an all-silk, wide-legged version by The Row, […]

This Week, Try Red & Gray

Like most New Yorkers, my weekday wardrobe is geared for efficiency. The palette can veer dangerously close to the non-dangerous: Black. Gray. More Black. Then I saw this photo on Barneys’ The Window blog: So simple, but so ingenious. The gray jacket is an office staple, but the cherry-red button-up and floating skirt add a vivid edge […]

One Chanel Dress, Two Outfits

Several months ago, I bought a sleeveless, button-up Chanel shift. It wasn’t my wisest purchasing decision — I didn’t know why, when or how I would wear it. But the price was so low, I figured I could flip it on eBay (where I saw it listed for double the price). I don’t recommend making […]

Spring Fashion Can’t Get Here Fast Enough

Today’s post marks a momentous occasion. It’s the first outfit post this year that was shot at 6:30 p.m. Daylight Savings is both exhausting and brightening, which may make it the most bittersweet day of the year — second only to the day after Christmas. Of course, even though it was technically bright, it was hardly sunny. […]

Stripes in the Snow

This past weekend, Fashion Week was in full swing. It’s a tough occasion to dress for — but in all honesty, dressing for snow is always more difficult. This outfit is a prime example of the necessary evil that is layering. My top half is shielded by a turtleneck underneath a Moroccan blouse. (The striped blouse was last […]

How I Wear Skirts in Winter

Ever since the trauma of the 2014 Polar Vortex, Manhattan is poised to panic at the mere hint of snow. This week’s weather predictions unleashed a level of hysteria I’ve never seen in my six years here. Offices closed. Trains ceased service. Normally sane city dwellers to succumbed to madness, buying every beer and bread loaf in the tri-state area, hash-tagging ever […]

How to Wear a Dress Over Pants, Part 2

Two months ago, I wondered if I could wear a dress over pants — with mixed results. But when it comes to fashion, I can never quite admit defeat. I tinkered with the look again and again — and after some ingredient swapping,  I found the key elements to making this layered look work. But before […]

Snakes and Stripes

Since starting this blog, I’ve made it a mission to experiment with some bolder sartorial choices. (Who could forget my doomed “socks with heels” experiment?) Lately, I’ve been attempting a lot of pattern-on-pattern, wherein you layer two pieces that ostensibly should clash. It’s a bit like chemistry — if the wrong combination occurs, the beaker explodes. And […]

What to Wear at the Dior Offices

When you feel polished and put together, you always step up your game in the office. Meet Natalie Suarez Cahill, a woman whose sleek style speaks volumes about her professional drive. Currently a Fragrance Marketing Manager for Dior in New York City, Natalie’s resume in beauty and fashion includes many of the blue-chip heavy-hitters, from Calvin Klein to Chanel. […]

It’s a Mod World

Every year, there are a million new trends to choose from. I use the term “new” loosely, because most retailers seem to randomly choose some bygone decade, recycle a couple old trends and slap on a higher price tag (adjusted for inflation, duh). This season, it’s all about the 60s — specifically the “mod” trend. Designer […]
