I was torn about whether I’d keep this blog purely about clothes, or let some of my other interest and discoveries creep in, but it’s been decided for me. Micellar water is so freakin’ awesome that I just have to review it. What is micellar water, you might ask? It’s a kind of cleansing water… Continue reading The Magic of Micelles
I used to kinda hate shopping. Well, let’s be real- I still do. BUT. It’s for a totally different reason. The other day I walked into Nordstrom Rack for the first time in, what, like a year? Big mistake. I immediately found one pair of earrings, one ring, four necklaces, one pair of striped pants,… Continue reading Hate to Love to Shop
This past week was “Columbus Fashion Week”, where local designers put on runway shows just like they’ve been doing in New York, Paris, London, and Milan. My husband and I attended a fascinating (free :D) event called “Fashion is Art”, which featured sample looks from the designers’ collections. It was a fun evening filled with beautiful clothes… Continue reading Columbus Fashion Week’s “Fashion is Art” event
As far as trends go, I think it’s a good thing to be a little picky. I can be slow to jump on the ol’ bandwagon (sometimes so slow that I completely miss it, yes), partially because I don’t want to accumulate a whole bunch of junk I’ll only wear once, and partly because, well,… Continue reading Crop-Flare, Don’t Care
In my last post, I wrote about how Couture is an art form that can be enjoyed by everybody. In today’s post, I want to give a few reasons why Couture is relevant and beneficial to our everyday lives. “What?” you say. “Isn’t that saying Couture can be practical? And isn’t practicality pretty much the… Continue reading The Case for Couture, 2 of 2

But what is it, exactly? It’s a French phrase that actually translates to “High Sewing”. It means the utmost care was put into the design and construction of… Continue reading The Case for Couture, 1 0f 2
Print-mixing is one of those things you can never be too sure about. Sometimes it looks undeniably classy, and then sometimes…you’re fairly certain that if the girl in the snake-skin boots, fiesta-colored skirt, and plaid tote bag weren’t a super-model, then she’d just be super-weird. Maybe we should leave those particularly special combinations to the elite… Continue reading Piling on the Prints
It is hot, hot, hot, which is completely cruel, after the gorgeous few days of fall we were given over the weekend. As I said in my last post, fall is my favorite season, and for numerous reasons: it’s filled with rich colors, the weather is enlivening, l fell in love with my husband in… Continue reading Layering Lite
The fashion world moved into Autumn as soon as August hit. The fall magazines began pouring in, and jackets and boots cropped up in all the stores. I have to admit – I am way excited for fall, not just because of some of the awesome trends in store for us this coming season, but… Continue reading Steppin’ It Up
Bridesmaid dresses. Brides usually choose them for you, and you either love ’em or hate ’em. At the wedding, it really doesn’t matter, because you’re taking part in an incredibly special moment in the bride’s life, and you’d wear anything for her. But what about after the ceremony? It’s usually the wedding dress that we… Continue reading Bridesmaid Rehab
