Chambray All Day

I'm in love with chambray shirts and have been for years. When I'm in a rush to get to work or want to throw on something casual but still cute on the weekend they're one of the first things that I reach for. You can dress it up with a bright, fitte ...

Why You Need City Sandals

Have you heard of city sandals yet? If you haven't, you're in the right place! I first discovered them a few summers ago when I had a pair of sandals I wore until they literally broke. To my dismay, they were no longer carried and I spent my days ...

Sunshine In The South

It's no secret that as a Southern girl I absolutely love the sunshine. By the end of February I'm ready for some Vitamin D and usually plan a trip early in the year to make sure that happens if the New York weather isn't cooperating with us. In ...

Work to Weekend Pieces

This past Friday night was my kind of night – it was 80 degrees outside when I got off of work and we had a double date lined up with one of our favorite couples at a restaurant we had all never been to. I was ecstatic to throw on something easy bu ...

Wide Leg Pants

On most days you will find me in a pair of skinny jeans, a top and some kind of heels. I probably own more pairs of skinny jeans and pants than anything else in my closet by a long shot. That being said, I'm never one to shy away from trying somethin ...

Everyday Style On A Budget

This year I promised myself that I would get it together again – financially, organizationally, being healthier, the works. Back when I first graduated college I had big ideas about where I would be by the time I was 30 (not quite there yet, but ge ...

City Sneakers

One thing I've learned about living in New York is that once you see something get popular, you start seeing it everywhere. I don't think I go a day without seeing Stan Smith's on a super fashionable girl heading to work. The subway can be a bleak p ...

What To Wear For A Casual Easter

While Christmas, Thanksgiving, July 4th and my birthday are at the top of my favorite holiday list, Easter has a particularly special place in my heart. Growing up we spent almost every holiday with our neighborhood "family" – a group of 10-15 fami ...

White Out

White shoes, bags & clothes get a really bad rap. "They get dirty so easily", "they're not practical", "you can only wear them in certain seasons".. the list of grievances goes on and on. I've never been one to let a bunch of chatter change my mind a ...

Winter for me might as well be called “the season for sweaters and nothing else”. I finally broke down and invested in some this year, but tend to gravitate towards the same colors and style over and over again. Fridays are usually really casual ...

Trenchcoat Season

This week was one of the nicest weeks in New York since last Fall with record setting highs and plenty of sunshine. I was so happy to ditch my heavier coats for something lighter. I snagged this trenchcoat in a petite size after a lot of stalking and ...

Making The Transition To Spring

I had almost made it through all of winter without wearing this duster coat that I had picked up last year. Too light to wear in the thick of winter and too heavy to wear when spring actually starts peeping it's head out there's only a small window w ...

For Every Occasion: Cocktail Parties

Ever since I was a little girl, I've loved getting dressed up. I definitely had my tomboy phase (didn't we all), but always had an especially strong affinity for dresses in particular. Short, long, printed or solid.. my mom never really had to try ...

When it comes to dresses, I have a weakness for the basics. I have far too many LBD's and LWD's and the trouble is I have a really hard time veering off of that course. A few weeks ago I was back home in Texas and stopped into Nordstrom with my mo ...
