The boyfriend blazer is back.
OK, I’ll admit, the boyfriend blazer was back last summer, but it took a year for the style to grow on me.
Like other menswear-inspired pieces, these blazers wear large, hang below the hips, and look effortlessly elegant when juxtaposed with the ultra-feminine.
Worn over a silk dress, or over a poet-style blouse paired […]

Many style statements from the 1980s have made comebacks in recent years — oversized clutches, wasp waists, –
White denim.
Made classic by J.Crew, I’m loving these white denim matchstick jeans. With a leg that’s not straight but not skinny, a comfortable rise, and perhaps the most figure-flattering back pockets EVER – these jeans have a super-stylish silhouette.
White denim is […]

Pendants are still fair game for fresh style this summer, but I am loving large, borderline gaudy baubles in bright colours.
My favourites I’ve found so far are available at J.Crew — no surprise there!
Check out this beaded paisley necklace. Designed in the most vibrant blue, these resin beads are hand knotted on a sturdy cotton thread, and fastened […]

Getting ready for a night on the town brings to my mind two words: Glamour and gloss. I’m all about amping up the WOW-factor for evening, especially when it comes to some unique accoutrements.
Whether you’re creating metallic luster with a sequined gown, or spicing up a not-so-basic-black mini dress with too-tall heels, there’s one accessory that […]

Super-soft — and warm — sweaters are a must for mid-winter, and finding one that doubles as a coat is the perfect piece of versatility for your wardrobe.
J.Crew’s Sophie peacoat sweater is all of the above. Made from double-knit, 12-gauge merino wool, this chic jacket is a sweet transition piece for winter to spring. While […]

Hope,
I’m in the market to purchase a new winter coat, but I don’t want to buy black. Is charcoal a good color, or would I be better going with brown?
Robert
While you can’t go wrong with a black or brown peacoat, purchasing a coat in a charcoal shade is probably a more versatile option. You can pair charcoal […]

Blame it on the January thaw, but I am loving all things yellow. Could I be craving spring weather to slip into some of these vibrantly coloured clothes?
Obviously.
While lemon yellow doesn’t suit fair-skinned women, and butter yellow doesn’t wear well on raven-haired women, I’m convinced there is a shade of this sunshine-inspired colour out there […]

It’s a fact: Post-August temperatures taper off and dip below leg-baring levels if you live anywhere that’s not sunny So-Cal, but that’s no excuse for not owning — and sporting — at least one mini skirt this season. How convenient for you that I should choose three favourites to feature. Pair with tights and sky-high platforms […]
