Lately I have been obsessing about the sporty, classic slant to athleisure. I have to admit while I love the style, I did not have the ladyballs to start wearing the staples until finding inspiration from an unlikely source. Within the past year, I read about how one of the wittiest internet personalities around, Sarah [...]
Fun and little-known fact: cable sweaters are actually a type of Aran sweater. Aran sweaters are named for a set of islands on the coast of Ireland and as such originated as a popular Irish fisherman staple in the 19th century. In addition to the Cable stitch, there are several other stitches that fall into [...]
I distinctly recall the first time I noticed lucite accessories within the pages of a glossy. The November of 2001 I had gotten my little paws on an issue of Cosmopolitan. The cover tag line, "is stress making you bitchy" really sold me on the issue that I procured at the local KMart. (Spoiler alert: [...]
Concert festivals are not a new thing. There was Woodstock, Altamont (looking at you, Hell's Angels), Live Aid, Lollapalooza, Lillith Fair (#tbt amirite?), Warped Tour, and my favorites: Bonnaroo and Jazz Fest. Jazz Fest walked so Coachella could run. My upper years of undergrad I ran with a rather trustafarian crowd. A friend and I [...]
Lands' End and Sophia Allport teamed up for a bee-utiful collaboration.
Growing up, the trench coat was an item that I frequently saw on television and movies as part of characters' on-screen closets.: Ally McBean, Charlotte York, Miranda Hobbes, and the entire cast of characters on the West Wing. It was always an article of clothing that I imagined I would graduate to wearing once graduating [...]
The grass is always green on the other side. I do not think that this cliche applies to anything more than seasons. When it is 90 degrees in summer, I cannot wait for winter layers. When it is winter, I cannot wait to shed the black opaque tights. Spring never seems long enough but the [...]
striped, solid, tipped and tweed: I need them all.
When I saw this dress three summers ago, it immediately reminded me of something that Charlotte York would wear. I saw that it came in tall and in that moment, I knew I wanted, needed, had to have this gingham confection. I just could not just pass it up. Along with three other shift dresses, [...]
Something about wearing tweed makes me feel particularly put together. Between developing an obsession for jacket and skirt sets circa 2012 and Blair Waldorf serving up spring tweed inspiration, spring tweed is a look that I love. To be honest, I do not wear it nearly enough. As mentioned before, I cannot help but feel [...]
It is officially spring and I am here for the associated wardrobe. While many find turning over the seasonal wardrobe as a chore, I relish the day. It is like a semi annual Christmas and I love finding items that I bought at the end of the last summer season, at deep discount no doubt, [...]
Earlier this week I rounded up standout seersucker pieces on the market. There was one glaring omission and that was purposeful. I did not include seersucker swim because there is so freaking much of it this season. Unfortunately, only one of the tank styles is available in long torso. Life is not fair. top // [...]
