Everyone's Wearing: Embroidered Boho Dresses

Everyone’s Wearing: Embroidered Boho Dresses

If there’s one trend that 100 percent embodies summer this year, it’s this one. Embroidered boho dresses are nothing new, but while they were previously saved for vaca dressing and apres-pooling and Hampton-ing, but now I’m seeing them pop up all over the city and I’m loving it. I’m even considering rocking my recently purchased version to the office. I think with the right footwear and…

Everyone's Wearing: Embroidered Peasant Blouses

Everyone’s Wearing: Embroidered Peasant Blouses

I love me a cute tunic and a boho-inspired look come summer, so I’m all about the embroidered peasant blouses popping up everywhere this summer. They’re the perfect beach coverup but look just as cute styled with cutoffs for brunch or white jeans for date night or a Hamptons beach party. @galagonzalez/instagram harpersbazaar.com viva luxury danish-streets.tumblr.com toryburch.com

Style Hack: Knot Your Button-Up Shirt

Style Hack: Knot Your Button-Up Shirt

Small styling tricks can make a huge differences, update your go-to button-up shirt you’ve worn a million times all fall, winter and spring into a cute, on-trend top for summer. The old-school trick that I did back in my middle school years has returned and I love how it instantly summerizes a button-down and gives it a fresh, flirty feel. Just leave a few buttons at the bottom undone, and knot…

Everyone's Wearing: Pom Poms

Everyone’s Wearing: Pom Poms

I’m not one for the frilly and frou frou and pom pom accents definitely qualify as both, but honestly, they’re just so much fun. Maybe it’s the long winter, but I’m totally feeling these playful little ball accents adorning everything from shoes and bags to dresses, tops, and skirts. The trick is balancing out their cutesy-ness with less well, cuteness so your look still feels sophisticated. No…

Style Hack: The Front Tuck

Style Hack: The Front Tuck

I hate tucking in my shirt. Despite being raised in a “tuck in our shit” house and preferring the polished look over the sloppiness of the untuck situation, I find it way too cumbersome and annoying. It never stays tucked in. It’s hard to keep it looking neat. It highlights my waist, which can be slimming but can also be unflattering on fat days, and you constantly have to monitor it and keep…

Everyone's Wearing: Lace-Up Shirts

Everyone’s Wearing: Lace-Up Shirts

I hate the term “going out” top, and I’m not the only one who feels this way. It just feels so cheesy, early 20s, clubbing/frat partying. But that doesn’t eliminate the need for a dressier top for a night out, which is why I’m loving lace-up shirts. They’re flirty enough for going out and yet not too club-y for work. Pair them with skinny jeans or black skinnies, or a midi skirt and boots for a…

Easy Outfit Formula: Turtlenecks and Skirts

Easy Outfit Formula: Turtlenecks and Skirts

There was a time when this was maybe my middle school uniform, but now, the turtleneck and skirt, are the new work uniform. It sounds really boring and a little buttoned-up (or with a mini, slightly modish), but it’s actually incredibly chic when you play with the proportions just right. The thing I love about this outfit combo is that it looks as put-together as a button-up and shirt, but it’s a…
