You know, technically it’s still fall. My friends in south and on the west coast probably still feel the fall with their milder temps but here in the midwest and northeast, it’s snowed at least five times. This has been the earliest winter I can remember; does that mean it’ll be spring weather come in […]
You all know I love my denim. I love to dress it up, dress it down, and basically wear it on the daily. Therefore, I’m obsessed with finding the best denim. Ever since I was introduced to my first pair of designer jeans in high school, I was hooked. My mom was like, ‘no’ but […]
Well, it’s official – no more hiding behind flimsy outerwear…winter is here. With winter brings many coats; it IS the outer part of your outfit, after all. The holidays are also upon us (can you believe it’s Thanksgiving this week?!) which means lots of giving and finding the perfect gift. Who wouldn’t want a fabulous […]

These are trying times but I’m seeing signs of spring. It’s lighter outside when I go to my 6am workout classes. Sometimes it feels warm enough in the sun to take off your coat (..but not quite). And sometimes, just sometimes, I hear the birds singing. Yes, my friends, spring is near. It’s so close […]
Quite a week I’ve had! We closed on our house in the suburbs, I took a quick NYC trip and that was only three days of it. I can’t wait to share some of our house with you all. We’re doing some painting before we move in (along with skim coating, which smooths out the […]
If there’s anything you take from my blog, I hope that it’s I appreciate classic style with hints of trend, androgyny and tailored femininity. I’ll never be the girl that can wear something that’s ultra-feminine and cotton candy pink with perfectly styled hair–it’s not me and it will most likely never be me. And if […]
