Mod Lucite

With a few key accessories, an otherwise “buttoned up” mod look transitions perfectly to your after-work plans.  Start with a well-tailored peplum pencil dress and a cropped tuxedo jacket for a color-blocked, office-friendly vibe.  Add a couple of unexpected touches with a sleek lucite heel and a contrasting lucite clutch.  Finish (…)

More Is More

While I’m perfectly happy on those shorts-and-t-shirt kind of days, sometimes, more is more.  Sometimes the only way out of a funky, mid-week rut is to throw it all on at once: embellished sleeves, a printed mini skirt, contrasting printed heels (in calf-hair, no less), an eye-catching metal belt and layers (…)

In the Nude

Ease your winter wardrobe into spring without sacrificing warmth by focusing on the color palette.  A nice neutral sweater (love the back zip detailing on this one) lightens up tough coated denim, especially when paired with nude pumps and a two-tone nude clutch.  Finish the look with a colorful collar, delicate (…)

Love Is Everything

Mother Nature has been a fickle little lady around here lately, so I’ve made a little rule for this week: when in doubt, choose trousers.  Black silk trousers like these are an easy throw-on-and-go option that can be layered up to battle a chill and stripped down to the basics in (…)

Layering Prints

One styling question that readers always seem to email about is print mixing, and my main advice for easily layering prints is to keep them all in the same color palette.  Here, a muted Aztec-printed skirt plays nice with a similarly hued floral coat, while an ivory blouse and speckled grey (…)
