Get the Look: The Carrie Diaries, Episode 2

January 21, 2024

Did you tune into the season premiere of The Carrie Diaries last week? I’m still not 100% sure how I feel about the series, but the subtle references to Sex & the City were enough to hook me into another episode. We’ll see after tonight — if I’m going to fall head-over-high-heels for the show, the city of New York needs to become a central character.

In the meantime, sweaters are prominent in the second episode of CW’s new series. Here’s what else is in store:

Printed Pants

December 15, 2023

Basic blue jeans are a girl’s essential, but printed pants are a new classic at this point. From florals to metallics and animal print patterns, these fun takes on denim are incredibly of-the-moment and — surprisingly — totally wearable.


I love these INC printed pants. They lend a young, fresh flair to an otherwise grown-up ensemble of a black blazer and pointed-toe pumps. This pattern can be loud, but by pairing them with basic black pieces and only one color (that blouse!), the look stays understated.

If bold patterns aren’t your thing, start with subtler details, like little polka dots and pinstripes. Above all else, just remember two simple rules:

    • Consider the cut. Printed pants with flared bottoms can look a little dated. I find the most flattering way to wear printed pants is with a skinny cut leg.
    • Wear a top that’s the same color as any of the hues in your pants, and you’ll look fresh and put together.

Get GNO-ready at Nordstrom Rack (+ the final $50 giveaway) [Closed]

September 26, 2023

*This is the third in a three-part series. We’re flipping the fashion challenge back to you, though, so scroll down: ANOTHER $50 gift card to shop the seasonal retro-chic styles at Nordstrom Rack is up for grabs!

Thus far, we’ve talked game-day glam and going from water-cooler to after-work drinks. Today, with the same pieces I’ve already styled, we’re upping the ante, leaving the beau at home and having some fun with the girls.

Aside from a champagne-soaked pre-game, what ultimately makes a girls’ night one to remember is a Facebook-worthy ensemble. (Hashtag profile pic!) When I’m planning to paint the town red, the look I aim to channel is cool-girl panache. Think the perfect balance of cutting-edge chic – like a modern-day Sandy in Grease, if you will.

In addition to mascara, girly curls and a red lip, my signature GNO style builds on a foundation of dark denim – a sleek, comfortable pair that allows me to bust a move at a moment’s notice. I actually had a hard time picking just one style at Nordstrom Rack, as there were so many name-brands at half-off (or more) – J Brand, AG Jeans, Joe’s, 7FAM, you name it.

Dark denim is undisputedly sexy and gives every outfit a dose of sophistication, particularly when worn with a textured separates and a pop of color. And, hey, if you crash at your gf’s (wink) and find yourself in need of a morning-after bloody mary, just toss on a scarf or jacket for that freshly showered Sunday Funday look.

And lastly, it’s giveaway time.

  • For your chance at another $50 gift card, comment below and tell me what brand(s) you’re buying for less at Nordstrom Rack.
  • For an extra entry, like corals + cognacs on Facebook. (Comment below letting me know you did/do already!)

To recap, here’s a peek back through all my looks — and the fun I had shopping for and styling them.

Regardless of your destination (a tailgate, the office, etc.), a stylish ensemble will set the tone for your impending adventure, and Nordstrom Rack’s got you covered with the name brands you love for less. With the money I saved on two pairs of shoes ($29 Michael Kors loafers, $149 L.A.M.B pumps), two tops ($49 Rachel Zoe tunic, $70 Joie top) and one pair of pants ($39 Vince leggings), I was able to purchase $150 worth of gift cards for you to get your shop on.

That said, don’t forget to enter this week’s Game Day Glam and Day to Night ‘Rack giveaways, if you haven’t already!
