WVW: Holiday Uniform*

Ever since I spotted this poncho thingy on Taylor of Sterling Style, I’ve been obsessed. As fate would have it, five days after her post dropped I found myself in New York—and near a Zara(!)—and after sampling the poncho thingy in person, I knew it had to come home with me. (Great eye, Taylor!) With [...]

September 2011 fashion events—mark your calendar!

I’ve always loved September. Back when I was girl, September meant the beginning of school—which meant new school supplies, new clothing (yay!), and a new chance at carving my future, my destiny. It was my line of demarcation between scorching summer heat and the comfortable crispness of autumn. For me, September (more than January) is [...]

Worker V: 2.3 (in Ann Taylor Pre-Fall 2011)

I’ve come to rely on Ann Taylor separates for work for more than a decade, because they are well-made, comfortable, a great value—and for me, there is no tailoring required. Over the years, some of the store’s collections have been better than others, but the upcoming season may well be the best, ever. Ladies, this [...]

Worker V: 1.9 (The Sade)

Sade? What? For you youngsters who don’t know who or what the hell I’m talking about, that’s Helen Folasade Adu, OBE—the magnificently gorgeous, talented, inimitable Sade (which is pronounced Shah-day). Google and listen, darlings. She’s like no other. For some reason, I woke up last Thursday, and dressed for work very uncharacteristically. Perhaps it was [...]

WVW: Modern Greek*

This is an old and slightly risqué dress that I don’t wear often, but have worn on the blog before, though not in an outfit post. I wore it in my Build a Better Blog Vlog, which I shot almost a year ago. I prefer it without a tank top underneath, because adding a layer [...]

WVW: The Jumpsuit (Loving and Loathing)*

I haven’t worn this jumpsuit in a while, so I pulled it out for a mother-daughter shopping excursion last weekend, literally from the back of my closet. I was about to reach for the usual belt I wear with it, then I had a lightbulb moment, a vision: the super long, reversible belt from my [...]

Worker V: 1.8 + Tips for Wearing Black in Spring

Some of you might have seen my tweet/Instagram shot of the new Diane von Furstenburg (DVF) belt I ordered from Shopbop. But just in case you missed this lovely thing, here it is: Belt girl that I am (they’re a V style staple), I have been craving the tassel belt look ever since I saw [...]

WVW: May Day Martinis* (+ My Sanctuary)

Several of you commented on my patio in my last post, and in another recent post I told you how hail assailed the canopy of my beloved gazebo. Perhaps the hail was divine intervention; the mosquito netting on my four-year-old gazebo had long since met it’s demise, and the canopy was weather-beaten and in need [...]
