Simple Separates

January 7, 2024

If I can get a little sentimental for a sec, my heart is exploding after all of the love and positive energy around yesterday’s post.

So much so that it’s 1:47 a.m. and I still haven’t finished this one. (If you must know, there’s a towel wrapped around my head, I’ve polished off half a bottle of red and I’ve just about nailed Beyonce’s 7/11 dance.)

Jobs, man. How incredibly comforting (an ironic choice of words) to discover that we’re all in the same/a similar boat. Let’s make #2015isOurBitch a thing, okay?

Okay. I have a story to share!

Oh-so-Stylish Weekend Stand-by: Sneaker Wedges

January 11, 2024

When wedge sneakers hit the fashion scene last year, was it a trend you thought you’d never try? It wasn’t exactly love at first sight for me, but you know I’ve never met a shoe I didn’t like… (except Crocs. Sorry, Crocs.)

Isabel Marant’s* uber-trendy platform wedge sneakers first took the fashion world by storm when street-stylers proved they could be worn both day or night. For me, they’re mainly a comfortable alternative to a daytime heel for weekend errands (or, let’s be honest, Sunday Funday).

My moment of Zsa Zsa Zu (ahem, anyone?) came as I was researching my post on 21 pairs of affordable wedge sneakers. I instantly and immediately obsessed over Rebecca Taylor’s cheetah version, so I kept a close on them over time. Incidentally, the only size they had left (mine) went on sale on my birthday and were even further reduced on Black Friday. Fate/no brainer, right?

I tweeted about my find after I made the purchase, which I believe peer pressured prompted my blogging bud Katie to make the same investment. That’s why we’re linking up today to show you two ways to style the sneaker wedge trend.

Click over to her blog, Pearls and Twirls, to see how she wears her Rebecca Taylor sneaks. Then, if you’re not sure where to start to shop this trend, check out my list of favorite affordable sneaker wedges.

J Brand skinny jeans | vintage t-shirt | Foley + Corinna mid-city tote

*I had a hard time pronouncing this designer’s name at first, so take note from my lessons learned the hard way — Isabel Marant is pronounced “Ees-ah-bell Mar-awn(t),” soft T. May take you a few trys, but you you’ll get it.

Have a great weekend! The second installment of my Gossip Girl Fashion Copycat series is coming on Monday, so stay tuned.

In-vest-ing

November 15, 2023

Yesterday, a co-worker of mine asked just how many fur vests I have…

Initially, I was confused. Can you ever have too many? Especially in the Midwest, where winter weather (seemingly) claims the majority of our calendars, it’s hard to know when to say when…

fur fashion, what to wear with a fur vest, how to wear a fur vest, fur vest outfit,

But, to answer the question, I have two. I style each of them very differently, though (under jackets, over a blouse, with a maxi skirt), which may be why I give off the impression that I own a closet full of fur vests… A girl can dream.

I thrifted this DVF blouse the second-to-last time I was in New York. Among other things, one of my favorite things about Manhattan is the volume, variety and accessibility of vintage and consignment designer pieces.
