Summer Dress with Winter Layers

This orange-y dress has quickly become a staple of mine because it’s my favorite combination of things: versatile AND unique. The shape and the fit is what makes it versatile, and the color is what makes it unique! Although, this color is verging on burnt orange, which actually makes it less unique around these parts, […]

Trend Alert: Sweater with Fancy Skirt

As I was perusing my magazines two months late (as usual), I noticed the most thrilling trend! I spotted Jenna from JCrew wearing a sweater with a fancy skirt to the Met Ball or something, and of course I had to jump right on that. What could be more fun than a comfy sweater with […]

Client After: Christina’s Engagement Portraits!

A little while ago, I shared some quick snapshots of Special Occasion Service client Christina’s engagement outfits. Well, here is the finished product! The photos were taken by Katherine O’Brien, and all 500-something of them came out great! I selected the ones that show the outfits the best, of course. It was really fun choosing […]

Hot Pink and Leopard

I really seem to be on a leopard kick lately, and I’m not sure how it happened…I think it’s because leopard is neutral in color and can go with anything else color-wise, but it’s a little more exciting than just a plain neutral skirt, cardigan, or in this case, pair of socks. I really love […]

Client Before & After: Alissa Chasen of SkinFit Austin

I was lucky enough to meet Alissa this fall when she bought my Style Intro deal from Urban Dealight. We totally hit it off because she is funny, smart, a fellow small business owner, and went through a Balmain-inspired blazer phase (a woman after my own heart). Alissa is the owner of SkinFit Austin, where […]

Print Mix: Leopard and Feather

Here we have a very wild pairing of leopard and bird, two prints from the wild, coexisting harmoniously in one festive outfit! It is possible for print foes to become friends if a few aspects align: Leopard print tends to be a smaller, more concentrated print, so it therefore makes sense that a more widely-spaced […]

The Long Blazer Revisited

Since I had to prove to myself just how versatile this new blazer is, I wore it twice this week! Here’s a completely different outfit from yesterday with the same exact blazer, no fooling. Not only can a blazer like this be worn casually with jeans and flat boots, but it can go a little […]

New Find: The Long Ruffle Blazer

Sometimes when I am out doing “research” I stumble upon things that I didn’t know I needed. Most of the time I can ignore these pangs of desire, but this silky black blazer got under my skin, and I couldn’t refuse it. I did my “can I wear this 17 different ways?” trick in the […]

Going For It

There comes a time, or even one single day, when you have to just go for it. I mean, life is full of surprising challenges and unexpected pressures, and getting dressed shouldn’t be one of those hardships. What you’re wearing sometimes needs to slide on down to the lowest rung of priority. While this is […]

What to Wear: Holiday Party with Your Elders

Sometimes it is required that you attend a few holiday parties with your parents, your parents’ neighbor friends, older relatives, or in-laws of some kind. You want to impress these folks with your success but not draw the kind of attention attention that make people start asking about whether you’re dating someone new or when […]
