Good morning! So. It seems I’m always busting out my trusty, yellow, J.Crew coat this time of year, and I think it’s because we’re usually teased with spring-like weather, only to be yanked back to gloomy, snowy, slushy winter (such is the nature of transitional weather, I know). Wearing my yella fella just helps to compensate
Spring Lips

Spring is “technically” here (depends on where you reside, really), and I want to share a few lipsticks I think will look great this season. Colors are ranging from nude, coral, and strawberry red. It’s all about subtlety, or light and airy. On a daily
Blushin' Blooms
The day we shot this just might have been the windiest day I have experienced in a long while – perhaps ever – but in between mighty gusts, it was also one of the loveliest. Rows and rows of cherry blossom trees in full bloom, showering petals like pink fairy dust, was just a magical sight to
Some Enchanted Evening
This past weekend, my husband and I headed to Portland for a work thing, but we made it a fun, kidless, relaxing getaway (thanks to amazing in-laws!!). We attended an awards ceremony one of the nights, and since it wasn’t formal, I decided to pair my Anthropologie lace top with a jumpsuit I’ve had for ages.
A Colorful Spring in My Step
This weather transition thing is tricky. It can be downright hot in the middle of the afternoon in direct sunlight, and then freezing in the mornings/evenings, or even just in the shade! Layers are key, but because I’m all ready for spring, and the warm, sunny moments tell me it’s spring, I’m ditching drab, blacks
Pinstripes + High-Tops
I’ve been a longtime Converse fan, but it wasn’t until recently that I did a little wikipedia research on the company. It was an interesting read! It was founded in 1908, originally manufacturing sporty shoes for tennis, but I found this to be the most intriguing: “The company’s main turning point came in 1917 when the Converse All-Star
Hi Ya, Sunny!
Oh, my Jude. He’s my biggest baby with the biggest heart. I should clarify big: he was born two weeks early, weighing 8.3 lbs (he would have been over a whopping 9 if he went full term!), and he arrived hungry. And is still always hungry. For the first year of his life, he was
New York Fashion Week Fall 2015 Style Guide
Putting together a Style Guide after fashion week, always feels like some sort of massive dissertation to me. Hours of show viewings, meticulous note-taking, and then, finally, organizing, compiling, and the tedious work of downloading/uploading and crediting pretty much takes over my life. Although it’s a massive undertaking, I really do enjoy the process of studying designers’ months-worth
Orange Ya Glad for Winter Colour?
This time of year is such a weather tease! And will be for the next couple of months…. Warm-ish, freezing, rain, snow, sleet, wind, blue skies – sometimes all on the same day. We’ve enjoyed an unusually warm and gorgeous spring spell, but it’s been back to frigid degrees and snow this past week. Then
Beautifying in a Polar Vortex
Most of us east coasters have been braving this super cold blast that’s been hitting in full force, as of late! I’m not used to this blistering cold at all, but life goes on…. right?!? Like running the kids into school, walking to work, or, like we did last week, embracing/braving even more cold and snow on
