The TB Bra Guide
Lately, several clients have asked what types bras they should have in their drawer. Luckily, bra-shopping is one of my therapeutic pleasures, and I’ve learned a lot about what’s comfortable, what’s “sensible,” and how a bra should fit. First, get measured. Yeah, you think you’re a 34C because you’ve always been a 34C and you […]
The Perfect Spring Dress
As I sit freezing in my windy house during a weird cold front, I reminisce over what I wore yesterday when it was 87 out…sigh. This t-shirt dress is my favorite summer staple because it’s basically a nightgown that’s appropriate to wear in public. It’s sooo soft, drapey, and doesn’t feel like anything is touching […]
STYLED: Behind the Scenes at the Hot Nights Event
I pick and choose my editorial/event styling gigs pretty carefully (as in, I usually do 2 a year at most). But when my friend (and Trophy Boutique client) Bridget asked me to help with the costumes for her recurring Hot Nights event that she produces with The Exchange Artists I couldn’t refuse. The concept is […]
The Transformative Power of the Shoe
The ladies at Stella Says Go asked me to do a little shoe-centric post, so I decided that the best way to show off shoes is to display their transformative powers! Here we have two outfits made totally different with the simple switch of a shoe. Since it’s spring, I styled the springy-est thing in […]
Canadian Tux Sundays
The perfect Sunday outfit is something you can run errands in, maybe relax, or in my case, see two clients and do three photoshoots. But most normal people have less crazy Sundays, and can easily get away with wearing yoga pants all day. I’m here to propose a new Sunday uniform: the Canadian Tuxedo! Denim […]
Chevron Skirt for Spring
I love this time of year! It’s sophisticated layering season, people! I might be a little weird, but it’s because this time of year only lasts a few weeks, and I savor these moments of jackets and tightsless legs. This chevron skirt is so easy to wear because of the navy and white–you can pair […]
Channeling Angela Chase
I’m not ashamed of having seen every episode of My So-Called Life at least 4 to 5 times. Since it’s been streaming on Netflix I’ve been re-watching the trials and tribulations of Angela, Jordan, and of course my fave, Brian Krakow. What I loved about that show back in the 90s was that the wardrobe […]
SXSW 2013: Jean Jacket and Cowboy Boots
Dressing for the annual weeklong binge of South By Southwest here in Austin is always kind of fun and challenging. You gotta wear something that’s comfortable enough to walk and bike all day in, plus enough layers for the chilly night, PLUS you kind of want to look cool (and not like every single other […]
The Anatomy of Comfy Casual
Sometimes it’s still a little chilly, but you’re sick to death of wearing pants! Enter: sweater tights! These babies have gotten me through several bouts of cold-induced boredom, and are always the perfect solution when wearing my summer skirts in winter. I’ll fully admit that there’s a lot going on here in this outfit, but […]
Olivia and Joy Giveaway Winner is…
…Alyson Curtis of Alyson Design! Congrats to Alyson who can now coordinate her outfits with this super cute hobo bag! The good news is that maybe since Alyson lives in Austin I won’t have to go to the post office, and the bad news is that (as several of you have inquired) there is no […]
