sleek and sophisticated basics

I often feel like wearing the same old comfy basics, so luckily it just takes a few details to kick that casual outfit up a notch. Blue jeans, a white tee and a ponytail may be the girl-next-door stand by, but with a crepe blazer and and pointy toe mules they suddenly become grown up…

stan smith

I’m probably the last fashion blogger on earth to score these kicks, but I was patiently waiting until my old sneakers moved from fashionable to sloppy before I could justify another pair. Nothing says summer like bright white, and this is a trend has only gained momentum + wide-spread acceptance in the fashion…

denim shirt

As I’ve mentioned before, I have had the hardest time finding the perfect denim shirt. it has been one of those versatile classics I’ve always kept an eye out for because I love how many ways you can style them. This purchase was the culmination of a 3+ year search, which seems crazy but I…

sexy back

There is just something special about a seemingly office appropriate dress that surprises you with a fantastic cut out back. I’m all about multi-use, and this dress takes me from work (with a sleeveless blazer) right into dinner or drinks without batting an eyelash. It’s lady-like but also a little flirty. The pattern even…

Summer is coming! And with that lovely sunshine begins the season of easy dressing. No more forced bundling up, no more thick coats, and you can even skip the socks if you feel like it. There is nothing better than when you get up, quickly pull together an outfit and just walk out the…

the shoes make the outfit

Even before I managed a shoe store, I knew what a key role they played in each and every outfit. Putting on a great pair of shoes is the quickest way to elevate whatever you’re wearing, and on the flip side, nothing will undermine your style more than a scuffed up pair of kicks.…
