The iconic phrase, “what goes around comes around” certainly applies to fashion too! I vividly remember wearing my little girl’s lucite heels and pretending to be a “pretty pretty princess” when I was about four years old. Fast forward a couple of decades and some and here I am on the streets of San Francisco in lucite heels! Whether or not you like them, the Kardashian sisters deserve the credit for making these kicks cool again. Today is my attempt to teach you how to dress a pair without sacrificing your class. Hear me out! Just like patent leather high heels, translucent heels are also available in a variety of shapes and forms. I love the lace-up kind because they emulate a lace-up bootie. If you have been following my blog for a while then you know how often I wore my pearl embellished lace-up booties during the winter (seen here and here). What a relief to find a replacement shoe cool enough for the spring! Maybe you are uncomfortable with lace-up shoes across the board…if this is the case, check out the alternative pairs I round up for your shopping pleasure. What is your definition […]
Suns out, guns out! After one of the wettest winters in San Francisco history, spring has officially sprung in the city by the bay! It was 68 degrees and beautiful over the weekend. Everyone and I mean EVERYONE was out and about getting their dose of Vitamin D. We leisurely walked to North Beach (aka Little Italy) for coccolis and pizza at our favorite spot, Tony’s Pizza. We order the St. Louis and substitute the provel cheese for traditional mozzarella. If you like cracker thin crust, then this pie is for you. My mouth is watering just reminiscing about it. Anyway, while the sunny spring weather is amazing, the attire is even better! For the first time in months, lightweight clothing is totally acceptable. I took full advantage of the warmth debuting my new ruffles and gold purse! I am a big fan of capri culottes. First of all, they fit me like trousers (I’m only five feet tall), second of all, the wide legs are exceptionally comfortable and chic! Chartreuse is one of my favorite colors. When I came across a pair combining two of my favorite things, there was no holding back. I had to buy […]
I wasn’t kidding when I said high waisted black jeans are the best thing since sliced bread. Now that you know how to dress them for a preppy spring look, today we feature an edgy alternative. I’ve never been able to dress a graphic tee to my satisfaction. For whatever reason, it either appears shapeless or too casual. I am happy to report that this edgy ensemble is super easy to recreate and eliminates either fashion faux pas! Fitted bottoms When you dress a loose top, always balance out the ensemble with fitted or tailored bottoms. Therefore, consider wearing high waisted skinny denim with your favorite graphic tee. One of the easiest ways to avoid the bag lady look is to tuck in or knot your oversized shirt. You will quickly realize that tucking/tying is much easier when you are wearing a high rise pant. Jewelry Jewelry is transformative. With the right baubles you can make a plain outfit pop, or an edgy outfit feminine. You can read more on this “phenomenon” here. Today I incorporate Brynn Hudson Jewelry to transform my moody attire into a ladylike look. Wear it with Confidence You know […]
A fashion blogger without an Instagram account is like a doctor without a white coat. Instagram is my life…literally and figuratively. It is the most efficient way to share photographic content with a mass audience. In fact, hashtags make it possible to reach and search for like-minded people worldwide! It really is an amazing phenomenon. I have met so many “Insta friends” through the platform and it was so fun to meet some of these friendly faces during New York Fashion Week. Now if you find yourself saying, “that’s great but what’s in it for me,” allow me to explain! Last year I introduced you to the LIKEtoKNOW.IT. This revolutionary technology allows you to shop your favorite fashionistas’ Instagram feeds from your email.

Now that you have the app on your phone, simply screenshot influencer images to begin your 2017 shopping experience. Once your images are ready to […]
We are two weeks away from the first day of spring. Therefore, it is time to plan for transitional outfits! While you are at it, invest in a pair of black high waisted jeans. They are the best thing since sliced bread and will make your life a lot easier as you dress for the new season. I confess: this is my first pair of black high waisted jeans. What the heck was I doing all of my life?! If you’re fond of crop tops, however you don’t like to show your belly button, these pants are for you. Aside from providing additional coverage, they can go dressy or casual, preppy or edgy. After discovering that pointed toe booties elongate the appearance of your legs, I must admit to wearing these pants three times per week. I kid you not! Today we feature a pretty powder blue crop top and you guessed it, high waisted jeans! I already told you that these pants can go eddy or preppy. Thanks to Brynn Hudson jewelry, this look is a hybrid of the two styles. I like to think of Brynn’s baubles as an alternative to pearls, as they […]
