BEST OF BOTH WORLDS

 

I'm all about cutout, especially when it comes to swimwear. What about you? Do you like these one-pieces or do prefer bikinis?

WWW INFLUENCE

Ever since the runway shows months ago, Ralph Lauren's western inspired quintessential Americana designs in his SS11 collections stood out to me as one of the most cohesive and iconic collections of them all. How do you feel about the trend? Is it making you want to bring out your inner cowgirl?

DESIGNER SPOTLIGHT

I'm a huge Helmut Lang admirer...who are your favorite designers and why?

HEELS!

 

I really wanted to create a guide that was practical, but did not skimp on high style and fashion at the same time. Most of the shoes are under $100 and all under $200! I hope this serves as a good touchstone for your summer heel shopping.

PUT IT IN NEUTRAL

Forgive me for the dry period...

Both neutrals/nudes and big, bold look-at-me brights are in for this spring and summer. Which trend are you embracing the most, or are you doing both equally? Let me know by leaving a comment in the c-section!

SPIKE IT UP

FOR WOMEN

Elie Tahari is one of my favorite designers because of his dedication to accentuating the female form and his embracement of curves. I love how his SS11 collection was so romantically elegant and how his T Tahari collection carried the same elegance, but added more sleekness and a bit of edginess to it.

THE STANDARDS

Do you have anything else to add to the list?

DON'T CALL IT A COMEBACK

Wedges are the smart gal's way to last in six inches all day. I became good friends with them this past fall/winter season, but I think things are gonna heat up even more this spring...

BASIC LOVE

What are your favorite ways to spruce up a basic white tee and jeans look?

MAKING THE TRANSITION

I don't know about you but I'm done with Winter already—especially with all the snow we got in the tri-state area. What's your way of transitioning from Winter to Spring?

THE BREAKDOWN: SS11 TRENDS

 

It's still the dead of winter, but I thought this would warm you up until Spring gets here. besides, isn't it about that time to do some spring clothes shopping?

I think wearing black & white is not only a classic, but it's classy—the perfect solution for someone who's color shy like me. Who's B&W look do you like the best?

BRING ON THE FEMININE

Are you into full skirts or are you typically drawn to body-conscious styles?

ONE OF MY FAVORITE COLLECTIONS

 

It's so early to be thinking about pre-fall when there's (literally) feet of snow outside on the ground and it's the middle of January but anyway...who's Pre-Fall collection made you feel as exquisite as this one made me?

BREAKING THE RULES

 

Are you gonna get some flare or are you sticking with the skinny jeans silhouette?

RECENT CELEB WINTER LOOKS I'M LOVING

The only reason I love winter is the fashion—thigh-high boots, stylish trenches, blanket scarves, lots of leather, layering and...black! Do you like these celeb looks?
