Comfort Injection
Do you have a fall-back look? A look that you know works for your body, you feel comfortable in, and employ whenever you’re not super inspired to try something new? For some women, it’s yoga pants, for others it’s jeans and a t-shirt. For me, it’s these yoga-pants-feeling jeans and a roomy printed blouse, the […]
Mother’s Day
Happy mother’s day to all the moms out there! My mom died when I was little, but I always loved her fashion sense. A real tomboy/hippie with some crazy early 80’s glasses, and a chill attitude. She left behind some awesome t-shirts that I still have and love to wear, perhaps I will debut one […]
Bad Hair Day
The other day I tried some deep damage repairing conditioner on my fading-fast red hair. I thought I would attempt to cling to the last vestiges of ginger by using this Whole Foods-endorsed organic concoction. Whoopsies. I ended up with slippery, shiny, smooth and extremely poofy (or poufy) faded ginger locks. It was as if […]
Purple Jeans and the Key to Happiness
During my styling event a few weeks ago at Stella Says Go, I was doing a little demonstration about how to change up your basic outfits with different accessories. I made three different looks with each outfit, and one look was a casual day look, with jeans, a black t-shirt, and flat sandals. I rolled […]
Navigating the Sea of High Waisted Pants
Are high waisted jeans right for my body? A lot of people ask me this question, or think that this look is the LAST thing that would flatter them.

Rock Brigade: A New Way to Wear That Concert Tee?

Feature in Austin Monthly May Issue, Runway Walks, Etc.
So I know that this is basically just one sentence, but I got pretty excited when I saw that one sentence about Trophy Boutique was included in Austin Monthly’s May issue. I’ve never been glossy before! Super big thanks to Amy and Natalie of Stella Says Go for the shout-out. They are the owners of […]
Another Way to Wear Skinny Cargo Pants
Perhaps you guys are tired of these pants, but I’m not. I never knew when these kind of skinny cargoes hit the scene last year that I would ever join the masses on this trend train. But here I am and I like it. I think it’s the color. The neutral green that goes with […]
Style Solution: How to Wear a Beach Dress for Day
Do you guys have dresses that you love but usually only wear over your bathing suit as a cover-up? I sure do. My summer beach dresses are lightweight cotton, unlined, and are colorful and bright. These characteristics basically describe all the things I love in all dresses, and I am determined this year (now that […]
Transitioning to Your Summer Wardrobe
It’s been ridiculously hot here (I’m not gonna stop telling you about it, sorry) for April, and as a transplant to Austin from the northeast, it’s taken me a few years to get the hang of this dressing for hot weather thing. When I first moved here I only had three pairs of shorts and […]
