Friday Frocks: Hittin’ the Books

By admin|September 5th, 2014|Friday Frocks, Why Did You Wear That?|

What’s easier than having a plaid skirt and button down laid out for your every morning? A smart little dress that requires no mixing or matching because it is an entire outfit in and of itself. Geek out in something plaid or opt for a collar that needs no popping. The hardest thing about getting dressed in the morning will be deciding which shoes to wear.

Setting the Mood: Hall Pass

By admin|September 1st, 2014|Setting the Mood|

Many of you have sung summer’s swan song with the commencement of Labor Day, but I would like to take an optimistic moment to point out that the official end of summer isn’t until September 23rd and if this Amazonian jungle like heat is any indication (don’t worry- the worst is coming), we have a few more weeks to revel in the sun. As the city refills with co-eds and those who spent all summer out east and jet setting around the globe, it starts to feel a little bit like a reunion. While I’m several years past returning to the classroom for another semester of mundane lectures and assignments I don’t understand, something about the beginning of September and the onset of Fashion Week festivities feels like the first day of school and trying to find a seat in the cafeteria without spilling your chocolate milk. Fall in New York elicits an excitement that is both magical and anxiety inducing. So, brace yourselves, ladies. Class is in session.

Friday Frocks: Lil Bit of This, Lil Bit of That

By Kirsten|November 8th, 2013|Friday Frocks|

Every woman, no matter her age, lifestyle, or body type must own the perfect LBD. At times, a simple black frock can seem a bit dull, but there are some easy ways to add interest to an otherwise standard staple. To avoid falling flat, texture can be a crucial part of keeping your LBD from being run of the mill. Leather, lace, or a combination of the two will take you from standard to standout. In a classic shape or something more au courant, the basic little black dress has never looked better.

Friday Frocks: Go Long

By Kirsten|January 4th, 2013|Friday Frocks, Why Did You Wear That?|

I had to double check that the Super Bowl had not, in fact, already happened. (It will happen on February 3rd- I Googled it). That said, my pun stands. Anyway, in the cold winter months, dressing can become a bit of a bore. How many different ways can we wear jeans? And since some of you can’t get it through your pretty little skulls that leggings are not pants, I have come up with yet another option for comfort without sacrificing style. The maxi dress is often associated with balmy summer nights and backyard barbecues, but I have found the knit long sleeve, slinky maxi dress to be one of my new favorite winter time staples. There are endless ways to style this look be it a fur (faux) vest over top, layered in gauzy scarves, with flat motorcycle boots or sky high ankle booties. The maxi dress is as versatile as it is comfortable.
