Vanessa rocking the coral for summer

I love a good flimsy jumper/ dress in a bright color, belted at the waist.  I think the loose-ness of the coral piece adds some casual-ness to what would otherwise be a dressy outfit.

Reader Request! What to wear to work??

I need your help. I just left my stuffy law firm job for a job on the finance team of a political campaign. It's a little more casual and east coast preppy than my old job but since I'm on finance, I have to look sharp and put together. Here is the big hitch- the new paycheck is significantly smaller now and Rugby and Ralph Lauren are way out of my price range. Any ideas? Hey! Congrats on the new position!  It's always fun to start a new job. I made about 8 career changes in my 20's and new jobs always meant more shopping- actually anything pertaining to anything new means more shopping for me but I digress. :P  It's is not always easy, however, to figure out what to wear for work, especially if you are on a tight budget.  My rule of thumb- always keep it simple and use the accessories to jazz it up. Here are some mix and match basics to help you get started (all items under $80)- enjoy! 1) Pencil Skirt  Asos $45 2) Black Top  Gap $20   3) S...

Some Over the Knee Hotness

Image
I want a pair of over the knee boots, I am not going to lie.  I own a gazillion pairs of boots already, in various shapes and sizes but you know how it goes- you get one style, walk right out the door and realize you just want one more.  Ugh. Falling victim to consumerism is suuuuch a pain :P   I have tried to suppress my overwhelming desire for the over the knee style, but it just comes back to haunt me, mostly in the middle of the night (i'll wake up in a cold sweat) or as I daydream at work.  It is imperative that I quench this thirst and it will get done this weekend, oh yes it will.  I am currently knee deep (haha get it- knee deep cuz this is a post on over the knee boots and I just made it link to a commonly used expression, thus attempting to increase my level of pun cool-ness) in research mode and I do believe I have found some top contenders.  What's so cool about the over the knee style is that it amps up your sensuality all while keeping that urban cool vibe we are...

Hey there! I just got a new job in the marketing department of a day spa and resort. The work attire is resort casual (no jeans, shorts cannot be shorter than 3 inches above the knee, no heels), and I need some outfit ideas to keep my wardrobe looking fresh, stylish and comfortable! Help me out if you can! Thanks, Resort Casual Hey!  So I am thinking uptown NY meets the Hamptons on a Saturday afternoon, something within the vicinity of white jeans and loose fitting button down shirts (some plaid of course) and maybe a high waisted beige skirt with a tan belt a dash of white tops and a sprinkle of gold accents when it comes to accessories such as sandals and chunky bracelets.  Ohhh, and while we are at it, why not some Tory Burch inspiration meets sailer wear- a little bit of navy and a few stripes here and there and voila- your style board inspiration. enjoy! 1)White Pants- Jones New York was $89 NOW $44 sale 2)Button Down Shirt- The Gap $50 3)Gold Flats- Steve Madden was $70 ...

Hi, I recently bought this vest:  http://www.charlotterusse.com/ product/index.jsp?productId= 3583202 How can I wear this vest casually? I've thought about belting it and wearing it with a tank top or T-shirt. It's a bit long, so I'm not really sure how to wear it. Can you offer any outfit ideas? Thanks! Leslie Hi Leslie, Here are a few ideas, enjoy! 1) I would do an all white outfit (white tank and jeans, and combine the grey sleeveless card with either the snakeskin or brown belt.   2) If you want something a bit more out there, work the pleather leggings with the white top and snakeskin belt for added pizzazz!

The Denim Vest

Image
You step out of the fashion blogging world for 1 week (i.e. 52 years in Internet time) and you miss all kinds of interesting trends that have slowly been establishing themselves as next years mainstream looks.  Enter the denim vest.  Yesterday I discussed the denim legging and I feel it is only fitting to go over its vested counterpart.  We all have the black vest that we pair with our skinny jeans and layered necklaces... blah, blah, been there, done that, saw the spread in People Style Watch and am a bit over it.  Most of us also probably have a denim vest, circa 1985 that we paired with our Milli Vanilli t-shirts, don't lie.  Most of us also probably outgrew said denim vest and gave them away all the while thinking "yeah thats never coming back again..."  Wrong again, we were.  The denim vest is back in variety of styles- studded, distressed, cropped, what have you.  You can wear it with slim black pants and a long tunic or pair it with shiny leggings for added oomph. ...
