Oddness/Weirdness

There's something so androgynous and edgy about a well-made black leather piece.  

The styling is impeccable in these gorgeous pics.  

As I've mentioned before on the blog- spring is on the way, even if it does seem like it's going to take forever to get here, so I decided to do a few posts on spring trends and how to wear them.  First up will be color blocking, which was a trend that was introduced last year and is still going strong.  I find it to be such an easy way to add interest to any outfit. The easiest way to incorporate the color blocking trend into your wardrobe is with a pair of shoes.  You can find pairs that range from neutral to neon and anywhere in between, also in any price range and any style.   The extra fun part of color blocking is your shoe and clothing color choices do not have to be an exact match, which is super liberating.  Just be careful- adding too many different colors to your ensemble can sometimes end up being a major fashion faux pas. I choose some on-trend pieces you can seamlessly incorporate into your wardrobe.  A chambray button down will be a key pi...

Ever wondered who wears couture on the daily?  I always used to.  I'd look at some outfits and be wondering who the hell would wear that and where to.  I found my answer when I first saw a pic of Daphne Guinness, and let me tell you... the woman is fab.

Sadly I haven't posted a thing to this blog in about 2 weeks... work and the holidays have conspired to make me one tired arse woman.  One of my New Years/birthday resolutions is to post something daily and hopefully I'll be able to stick to that.  I'm gonna try, that's for sure.

You have those people who are stylish , and then you have those people who are fashionable . I am going to explain the difference today. A stylish person is someone who can do any and everything when it comes to fashion. They have a style that is their own, that other people try and copy. Stylish people do not care about the price of a garment, but how they feel when they are wearing what they like. When you have style, it’s something that represents who YOU are. You dress to fit your emotions when you wake up in the morning, not to go out and try to impress. Stylish people do what they want to do, how they want to do it, when they want to do it. ...
