I ♥ Gucci. I know, this is a shocking revelation, right?! Right. OK, we all know I love Gucci the brand, Gucci the philosophy, Gucci the lifestyle. So when this little invitation arrived in my inbox, there was no doubt in my mind where I’d be for Fashion’s Night Out… The house of Gucci made [...]

Whew. Oh my goodness, I am literally just coming up for air after a whirlwind trip to New York for the Independent Fashion Bloggers Conference, which was superb, as those of you who caught the livestream saw.

And the amazing thing is it doesn’t matter how casual the other piece might be…it just works. Yesterday, I broke my workwear black streak with a [...]

I know, I know. It’s me in black again. Why don’t we just call this my all-black summer and be done with it, shall we? I have been wearing head-to-toe black to work (well almost…the shoes tend to be the only break in color) for weeks now.  Lately, it’s been so dang hot I am [...]

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 [...]

WVW: The Halter Dress, Take 2*

I’ve had this dress for several years, and love that it’s not only OTT, but comfortable and versatile. The halter has extra long straps that can be tied a number of different ways; in fact I wore it quite a while ago in another variation, and that post, WVW: A Clear Cut, is still one [...]

Worker V: 2.2 Little Black (Wrap) Dress

Thumbnail image for Worker V: 2.2 Little Black (Wrap) Dress

I love a good LBD—who doesn’t? But what I love more is an LBWD, a little black wrap dress. I already have several and know just how versatile (and forgiving) they can be. When Karina Dresses contacted me about giving one of their microfiber, machine-washable jersey dresses a test-run, I was a little reluctant because [...]
