Draping is a magical thing. It can be done so poorly and still not look that different than draping that's been done really well. It's all in the details. The women of the world don't have enough light-colored coats. For that matter, ...
Milwaukee-based department store, Bon-Ton has recently taken hold of the fashion internet as I've been seeing them everywhere, and they have announced their fall/winter private collection of clothing from their in-house Ruff Hewn line. The collection, called Ruff Hewn GREY, features a lot of edgier styles ...
Okay, I know it's the middle of July, but I'm already looking forward to fall. Is that a crime? I crunched a leaf yesterday and now I can't get the idea of crispy weather out of my head. Seeing this varsity style ...
This gorgeous, floral, chiffon construction is not a kimono. In fact, there is very little "kimono" about it at all. This is a bed coat. This is a glorified bathrobe - and there's nothing wrong with that. ...
Tough clothes made with contrasting, upscale fabrics always make me smile. I love it, and find it highly amusing and entertaining when a bad-girl jacket is made with a yacht club material, it softens things and adds a sense of ...
I always find it odd that "festival season" takes place when Seattle is still cold, windy, rainy, and pretty damn dark. Do you know how many festivals occur in April here in the PacNW? Next to none. It's not romantic ...
My quest for comfortable-yet-flashy gear has reached a new milestone in its development, and that milestone's name is satin jean leggings. Yes, both jeans and leggings - but not jeggings. No, no... not jeggings at all. ...
As a big fan of Alternative Apparel - both for product-related and ethical reasons - I am really excited to tell you that today's DD features one of their deliciously comfortable jackets in a super cute polka-dot pattern... ...
I wanted a version of this jacket that would fit all of my wardrobe needs: versatile, comfortable, machine washable, affordable and interesting. It might sound like a lot to ask, but it's worth it when you find the perfect specimen... ...
I've developed a lot of different uniforms over the years. It seems like every 3-6 months, I end up whittling down my wardrobe to a basic canon of dressing that leaves me with a super easy, but still interesting outfit ...
Shoes have always been my favorite part of fashion, ever since I was a teenager. At the height of my collection, I believe I had somewhere around 42 pairs, total. I was rinsing my bank account out bi-weekly, and had ...
I'm on a jacket kick lately, likely due to the fact that I've been forced to wear my standard (albeit adorable) wool coat for about 7 weeks straight, thanks to the whole winter thing. I'm so tired of my wool coat, ...
If you haven't experienced LC Lauren Conrad for Kohl's... surprisingly, I highly suggest you do so. Did I ever think I'd be recommending you consume something associated with Laguna Beach & trust fund kids? No, but I stand by it because the ...
The whole "Varsity Jacket"/college jacket/whatever thing never really made sense to me. It popped up a couple of years ago (I first saw Lady Gaga wearing one, which was of course Gaga-ed out to the max) and, while I kind of ...
I could probably write a thousand posts that include "4 Funky _____ from ModCloth" because funky is pretty much all they do. Coats are an exciting branch of funky because, in the fall & winter, they are 80% of what you wear. Any ...
Layering weather is bittersweet. Example: Let's say you live on the steepest hill in Seattle. Let's say... you don't have a car. There's a coffee shop at the bottom of the hill, and you want to go to there, get ...
Leather or leather-esque jackets probably don't seem like something you want to think about right now, it being the middle of July and all - but I promise that thinking about faux leather jackets right now will totally pay off ...
One look through ZARA's April lookbook has me craving flowy, detailed, and silky everything. Their lineup for spring and summer has a relaxed, laid-back vibe, and there are tons of details and styles that borrow components of kimonos, sarongs, and minimalist ...
Is it just me, or are matchy-matchy suits becoming not-cheesy? For some reason, when I come across an editorial or street style photo of a lady in a matching blazer and shorts/pants - it just works. Maybe it's the intoxication of ...
I only recently drank the blazer kool-aid when I bought a loose, black blazer (no longer available) from Lauren Conrad's Kohl's collection and ended up wearing it 6 days in a row. Before that, I felt blazers would always make me look ...
