The zipper trend has been everywhere this season, from Anne Demeulemeester’s zipper body harnesses, to Balmain’s zippered military jackets. If these haute-couture designs don’t suit your everyday life, I found this Forever21 top that exemplifies the perfect balance between high-fashion detail combined with comfort and utility. This top is great paired with skinnies and ankle [...]
I’ve seen a hand/glove motif appear and re-appear on the runways since last fall’s Dolce & Gabbana show. The trend (if you could call it that) was also featured in Hussein Chalayan’s Spring 2010 pieces, but that time they were a bit more life-like. Many times, the more avante-garde details of haute couture never make [...]
For one reason or another, this season I have acquired a fascination for tutus. I absolutely love the playfulness they add to an outfit, and because it’s winter, tutus are perfect for layering. You don’t have to be like me and wear crazy poofy tutus out in public. The skirts shown above are from Nasty [...]
First of all, I hope that all of you readers are having a wonderful holiday! Christmas with the family was a lot of fun. Holiday presents always provide for great blogging material, and I wanted to share with you one of the wonderful gifts that I received that you should all go and buy for [...]

Fall fashion is all about amazing outerwear and making bold statements. Fur was all over this season’s runways, and fortunately for us the trend has made it out to mass retailers so that we too can have our fix! Fur isn’t only for Hollywood beauties and socialites anymore. There are so many beautiful and affordable [...]
It’s hard to believe, I know, but we have to start getting ready to strut our stuff in the cold. Outerwear can run you a pretty penny though, so I tried to find a few jackets that were fun, fashionable, and best of all, affordable. I personally love coats that make a statement. Be it [...]
Despite the weather getting chillier, I’ve been feeling reluctant to hide my legs under leggings and jeans every day. Initially, I wasn’t sure how to deal with this issue because as cute as leggy-legs and mini dresses are, goosebumps are equally UN-cute. I had an epiphany this past week, and ventured through the depths of [...]
It is finally starting to feel like fall, and I know first hand how annoying it can be to have to try to transition your wardrobe from summer to fall-friendly. It’s too chilly for our mini skirts and sandals, but still not cold enough for us to bundle up. The perfect solution is throwing a [...]
Ornate jewelry is a must have for summer, but on a college budget who can afford to spend hundreds, or even thousands, on one accessory? Thanks to stores like Forever21 and Urban Outfitters, we can get our bling-fix and still have our bank accounts in the safe-zone. To get your summer jewelry collection started, you [...]
Spotted: Colorful tights parading all over the Upper East Side. For Queen B and her “ladies of the steps” the key to conquering the social scene starts with standout style, including rainbow gams and the attitude to match. John Galliano once said “Style is conviction” and no one knows that better than the [...]
This spring, you should want to make smart statements with your clothes. This means that you should look for pieces that are bold and classy, and that you plan on wearing a lot. You want to get the most bang for your buck when you’re looking around. Really, as long as you have a few [...]
