As we progress into summer, I’ve taken a new liking to cotton floral bustier tops. When you hear the word bustier, satin and lace might be the some of first words that come to mind, but this sexy new crop of tops is just as fitting for the boardroom or the beach as for the boudoir. Paired with some distressed jeans or cuffed dress shorts and flat embellished sandals, they’re perfect for warm

Now that summer is offcially here, I’ve caught a case of floral fever. From dainty ditsy florals to large, graphic prints and floral-themed jewelry, I am currently obsessed with all things that pay homage to the flower. Gorgeous A-line skirts and prim floral dresses and tops conjure up daydreams of having tea in a rose garden, while floral print combat boots intriguingly offer both feminine and

An intense online browsing session for floral dresses at Asos last week led me to a U.K. brand I’d never heard of called Motel. Heavy on bold florals and flirty frocks, it was just what I was craving for my summer wardrobe. I knew I’d hit the online shopping jackpot, especially when I saw that they delivered to the U.S. My new vintage-inspired ‘Kate’ dress perfectly satisfies everything I want in

Lately I’ve been on a manhunt for almost anything floral - especially boxy blazers, vintage playsuits, Motel leggings, printed sunglasses, strapless dresses, and cotton corsets. My discovery of a yet-unexplored thrift store in town yielded this $2 floral playsuit and a navy blue1940s-esque one complete with pleated bodice and lapels. Despite the difficulty that playsuits offer when going to the

A family member remarked to me today that I seem to buy a lot of dressier, "going out" clothing. Without hesitation, I replied that it’s true. I love the idea of getting dressed up for a night out. For some reason, I gravitate towards flirty dresses, high heels, and embellished tops, which don’t always serve my casual, active lifestyle in the most practical way. When I bought this [...] Continue Reading…

Despite its somewhat thin size, the July issue of Lucky is my favorite one to date. It seems that the recession may have taken its toll and the editors have decided to respond by featuring items that are much more affordable than things typically found in the magazine. Hallelulah! (I hope to see more low-price features from Lucky in the future.) With everything in the issue under [...] Continue Reading…

I’ve never been a big fan of reading the newspaper, as I prefer to get my news online like most Gen Xers. The exception is each Sunday morning, when I can’t wait to get my hands on the Image section of the L.A. Times as I sit down with a bowl of oatmeal. From Melissa Magsaysay’s sensible style tips to Booth Moore’s thorough runway rundowns, it’s always an enjoyable [...] Continue Reading…

After an extensive online browsing and shopping session last night, I realized two things: 1.) I’m much less likely to make purchases online than in brick and mortar stores, even if browsing for over half an hour, and 2.) much of Topshop’s online offerings sell out in less than two weeks. Take, for example, my beloved chain slingbacks which were purchased from the SoHo store in early May. Upon

Apparently hot pink blazers are not obscure finds in my local thrift shops. I found several possible options before scoping out one made of linen that still had tags attached. Complete with retro shoulder pads, huge patch pockets (perfect for burying my hands), and an oversize construction, I knew I’d hit the thrift store jackpot. It was just what I’d been looking for. While getting dressed, my

The return of the crop top this season didn’t exactly get me jumping for joy, as I prefer not to bare my midriff, however, being open to many a fashion trend, I had to at least give it a try. Rather than purchasing American Apparel’s respectable version, I opted for an inexpensive and simple DIY version with a men’s Fruit of the Loom tee. That way I could [...] Continue Reading…
