My ears were pierced when I was a newborn at the hospital, as was the tradition in Egypt, so I feel like I was literally born to wear jewelry. That’s why I think you should take my bossy jewelry edicts very seriously. I know my stuff. Seriously, though, it can sometimes be a challenge to […]

Trends are trendy but they don’t need to be spendy. I’m quitting my job immediately and going into poetry. Seriously, you do NOT need to spend a lot to bring some updated pieces into your wardrobe. Here’s what I recommend: Start with what’s in your closet. Add whatever is missing to create your Wardrobe From […]

There are two ways to look at your Wardrobe From Scratch. If you, like many women, do not feel like 12 pieces are all you need for a full and functional wardrobe (or even if you do), read on. Because your wardrobe might be missing a little bit of spice. Seasoning. Salt. Salt makes yummy […]

And, because it doesn’t need to mix and match with anything else in your wardrobe (except accessories, of course), dresses give us the opportunity to try colors and trends and styles that intrigue us, without going all in. They’re also the quickest way to get dressed, especially in the […]
