Print people, unite. There’s just something about a gorgeous print. It can really bring an item to life and give it personality. It can also make it look like your grandmother’s couch or (worse) make you look 15 years older. I think that’s why so many women stick with solids. Solids are safe. Are you […]

I don’t mean to pick on certain colors. I mean, it’s not their fault that they are potentially catastrophic to your style. You’re probably thinking: “What have black sandals ever done to her?” Or “What does she have against pastel dresses?” It’s nothing personal, really. I don’t have it out for a specific category. I’ve […]

If you follow me on Instagram, you’ll know that it’s no secret I like color. I especially like bright colors, and I like combining them in outfits. Still, no matter how many different combinations I have come up with, I always love discovering more. There are endless ways to mix and match your wardrobe if […]

Still, this perennially popular and eternally elegant color isn’t without its drawbacks and its downfalls. Especially for the Softies among us. And I’m not talking […]

Contrast is the style secret that nobody talks about. Until now, of course. Because I cover all of the crucial contrast info in today’s video. Contrast can be critical, especially for women whose contrast falls at one end of the spectrum or the other, like my case study here. I’ll call this: The Case of […]

So I’m going to date myself a little here, but in high school, when the wall above my bed was papered with magazine pages, I used to wake up every morning to an ad featuring a woman wearing a cacophony of bright colors, 80s style, with the words: “She only had colorful friends who wore […]

You know those fancy boutiques where you walk in and everything is color coordinated down to the fluffy rug and the walls and you breathe in the feeling of utter serenity and luxury and wonder how your closet could feel and look just like this but worry that it’s impossible because money. And kids. And […]
