Let’s be honest, the last couple months of winter can be a real sh*t show when it comes to style. Everyone is cold, uninspired and just kinda over it. Spring styles start popping up in stores and it seems a little torturous to have to put on all those damn clothes every time you walk out the door. Ok, maybe this is just me whining (and swearing more than usual in a blog post) but I can’t be alone? Winter just wears on me. And, now I am punning.
Read MoreI've been working as a wardrobe stylist for everyday individuals for almost seven years. Hearing people's stories and struggles has provided me with a solid understanding of what's truly happening in the world of style. And, I don’t mean how do I style this new $500 cashmere sweater I bought with The Row trousers I scored on The Real Real. (A link for those who have no idea what I am talking about haha.)

Last year, I created a Fall Needs List. See more about creating Seasonal needs list here.
On the very top of that fall needs list, was a pair of dark brown comfortable booties. I have multiple pairs in black and a pair of Sofft Aisley in Luggage that I bought locally at Roam Vermont that I love. But, I found myself searching for a dark brown pair throughout the season.
Read MoreIt’s happening again. Summer is literally and figuratively burning me out. The heat of the summer is robbing me of my energy to look cute. Fussy and complicated are not on the agenda. I need outfit formulas that are tried and true and keep me sane in the summer heat. My criteria are simple. One, I want breezy natural materials like linen and cotton.

Read MoreWomen have been chasing the “It Bag” for decades. From the Chanel 2.55 bag of the 1950’s to today’s Marguax bag by The Row, everyone wants the bag that everyone wants.

Read MoreSometimes I am thoroughly and completely enchanted by a celebrity’s street style. I will readily admit to spending a ridiculous amount of time analyzing the style of celebrities such as Zoe Kravitz, Jennifer Lawrence, Jo Ellison or Grece Ghanem to name a few.
