I am IN LOVE with these French terry pintuck pleat pants! They’re cream, made of a soft terry, a pseudo- jogger/pants but perfection to wear to any meeting because of the fit. They’re another item I’m loving for spring that I am going to try not to wear everyday….but if I do, don’t look at me!! The other pants I’m in love with this spring….

Navy blue chinos are a must-have for men. They work for casual Fridays, dress up nicely with a sportscoat, and are ideal to travel from season to season. Everything you need to know to wear them more often than you should….
Whitney Pozgay is slightly “vertically challenged” thus, has an appreciation for clothing that helps the more petite among us reach new heights! She collaborated with Anthropologie on a capsule collection, WHIT Two. Check it out here but my favorite piece is this embroidered urchin petite dress {$188}. This white dress is the perfect length for day or date night; the backside zipper works to create a little booty; the swing top is forgiving; and the fitted skirt provides ideal balance
It’s ridiculous. It’s overpriced. It’s not “all that”. It’s so ordinary. But….. It’s the perfect color, style/shape, and fit. This Goldsign for J.Crew holly skirt in martel wash is $268!
I’m not a mom. I have no children to speak of (other than my shoes and handbags). I do, however, have a deep appreciation for the ‘working mom‘ and spend many hours outfitting them. They want comfort. They want fabrics that move and that you can spot clean. They want versatility. And then they want what seems slightly more elusive: a bit of sexiness; femininity, a little bit of edge, and to wake up and roll out looking perky and
It’s never to late to understand the nuance of shorts lengths. I found this cool pic of various shorts sizes and thought it would be a worthwhile lesson in looking and understanding what works for you. Do you have long, lean legs? Are you shorter in stature and need some length? Do you have long legs but want something more svelte? Is it all about showing everything you’ve got? Do you just want something that will create a little relief
To add a little zip to any outfit, you don’t have to go berserk ~ a few aptly placed stripes and you’re on your way. This combination says you’re ready for anything but in a feminine, nautical kind of way…. Shopping list: striped jumper ($35), Cocoa wedge sandal ($98), J Brand jeans 901 coated leggings ($174), duffle satchel ($295)
Men & sweaters: these should be a staple in your wardrobe and, like crayola, come in many colors and styles. Focus on 1 or 2 cardigans, 1 zip-front sweater that can double as a jacket but not as stiff, and 3-5 pullovers (crewneck or v-neck….v-neck being optimal especially if you’re more solid). There are others but, let’s start with that so, if they have holes…take them to your tailorwho can tell you whether they are repairable otherwise, let them go.
