The Right Style: A's, Blues and Double C's

It's just too wrong that the weekend is so short. The end of October is signaling that I am running out of time to march about in shorts so I'm going IN. Fall is too often the place where color goes to die but I, in my vaguely Jamaican style, can never have too much. I paired this incredibly bold sweatshirt by drawing out the reds and blues and incorporating them into other elements of the outfit. Anchoring everything-- because when you're wearing a lot of color, you need an anchor-- are all the black leather accessories. This outfit is definitely for the young … [Read more...]

OMG Stripes

There may be nothing that I love more than stripes. I love stripes so much that sometimes I like to wear all of my stripes all at one time. I'm something of a stripes collector, if you will. This series of black and white striped looks happened largely by accident. As Richmond continues to tease back and forth with the idea of cold weather ( I was teeth-chatteringly cold last week. Tomorrow, it's going to be 82 degrees), I have found myself needing to layer my transitional separates. It started out with my Lush jumpsuit.

Oscar de la Renta was...IS...legend. He was the man behind some of the most beautiful and iconic runway looks the world has ever known.

He made first ladies and actresses all look equally like the most beautiful woman in the world. He rose to prominence dressing one of the most famous First Ladies in American history, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. The Dominican de la Renta came to embody American fashion and American elegance. Who could forget the words of … [Read more...]

My Fashion Week, Part 1

Last month was one of the most fashionable months on the calendar. If you’ve been keeping up, the fashion elite all converged in New York, Milan, Berlin, London and Paris to watch the world’s top supermodels and the top designers premiere their collections for the upcoming season. But for some reason or another, I was not invited to participate in any of the festivities (strange, I know) so I took it upon myself to make the month of September as fashionable as possible. When the president of your company comes to town, it is mandatory that you pull out all of the … [Read more...]

20Work

Living in the world of trying to maintain a work/life balance, it is easy to view the work bit as an obligation-- a necessary evil there to finance the "life" part of your life. But think about it-- most of us live a huge chunk of our lives at work and interact with people who are able to easily influence the direction of our lives, so why not put a little extra thought into how we dress from 9-5? I love how the article highlights two different types of working girls (I can say that, right?): the lady who works in the conservative office and the gal who has more … [Read more...]
