Winter Must-Have: Cozy Knits

Winter is a very blah and dreary time. We’ve already discussed cozy accessories, but another winter essential is the cozy knit, a staple that will keep you feeling warm and looking chic no matter how miserable the weather gets.

Oversized knits have that very cool laissez-faire feel which I absolutely adore (especially when worn over a sexy cocktail dress, definitely my favorite pairing). Plus, when you invest in a cozy knit, you get a litte more wear and tear out of your favorite, but maybe not so winter-friendly- jackets. And of course, there’s the obvious fact that they help hide that extra heft which can creep on during this time of year.

Read on to check out some of my favorites! [Continue reading...]

Wardrobe Must: Transitional Floral Frocks

One of my favorite year-round closet staples is the transitional floral dress. An airy floral dress is an obvious go-to for summer, but I especially love this style when teamed with edgy extras for fall. It’s always an essential piece right now with the weather feeling like summer one day and winter the next!

A transitional floral frock is one that looks amazing with sandals in the spring and summer and equally, if not more amazing, with tights, boots or booties, and a blazer or bomber jacket in the fall. Incorporating florals into your winter wardrobe is also a great way to add fun and vibrancy to a very all around drab and dreary time.

In these economic times, versatility is key and there’s nothing more versatile than an item that can go from day to night and from one season to the next!

Read on for some of my favorite floral finds and to shop some of the looks pictured above! [Continue reading...]

Get the Look: Boho-Rock Accessories

Ah, summer…the official season of musical festivals and the perfect season to channel your inner hippie chick.

The bohemian trend has seen a great evolution in recent seasons. When the style originated in the 1960s and ‘70s, it was more about a free-spirited lifestyle. Then a few years ago, Sienna Miller kick-started “boho-chic” with her effortless combination of gypsy and luxe. Head-to-toe bohemian can seem a bit outdated these days, but when infused with a little rock ‘n roll, it becomes modern and relevant.

Accessories, as always, are the easiest way to segue into a trend. Start with an ensemble of denim cutoffs and flowy print tunics. Blend in traditional bohemian accents such as fringe and leather in the form of a handbag or hair accessories. Then balance the look with harder elements like studs and metal.

As with clothing, jewelry is all about layers. Pile on the wooden bangles, beads and friendship bracelets. Mix in gold coins or natural stones to highlight the vibrant colors of your clothing.

Boho-rock is an unstudied mix of inspirations and trends. Stylistas like Kate Moss, Mischa Barton and Mary-Kate Olsen are big proponents of haute hippie. They prove that to perfect the look is to embrace your own individuality. So go wild, child.

Trend To Try: Boho World Traveler

The bohemian trend has been going strong for quite some time now, thanks in large part to fashion heavy-hitters like Nicole Richie, Mary Kate Olsen, Kate Moss, Sienna Miller and co. I will never tire of this style and I especially love the new ways designers are interpreting it.

For Spring ‘09, it was all about the boho world traveler, and lots of designers like Diane von Furstenberg, Milly, Roberto Cavalli, and more found inspiration in far-flung, exotic locals. The boho looks this season are marked by beautiful beading, precise embroidery, and bold prints, adding a bit of jet-setter mystique to the laidback sensibility we have all come to love.

While we’ll be going in a bit of a different direction for fall, where the 80’s will reign supreme, I am all about going with what you love and I absolutely love the boho world traveler look, so in my world, it will never be outdated.

If you share my sentiments, and check out some fabulous wordly boho finds after the jump! [Continue reading...]

Spring Must-Have: Boho Maxis (Inspired by Nicole Richie)

A beautiful, boho maxi dress is an absolute must for spring and summer, it’s fun, wearable, and super flattering. No gal knows how to pull off this trend quite like Nicole Richie , who is always a go-to fashion muse! Nicole isn’t afraid to run with a motif and her looks always have a strong 70s-inspired, hippie-chic feel. She tends to favor vintage maxis, but there are plenty of current styles that are equally fabulous.

A boho maxi isn’t season-specific and can be work in the cooler months with the addition of a chunky knit, sharp blazer, or cropped leather jacket as seen on Nicole above. You can style your look to summon the seventies like Nicole, give it a modern twist by adding in some statement pieces, toughen up this laid back style with some edgy add-ons, and so on. As is the case with any trend, be sure to wear it in a way that works for you and stays true to your personal style.
