Passion for Pink Clothes

I haven't always been comfortable with pink.  I thought pink was too girly, and usually reserved for girls that were trying way too hard to get attention.  I've come to realize that pink can be just as très chic as black -- when done right.  What makes this look work?  The sweater and skirt match to give a streamlined look, while the ruffled lace blouse adds interest.  The gold metallic bow is meant to be worn over the pink sweater, accentuating your waist.  The flowers can be pinned on the top right or left of the sweater, or worn in your hair.  This outfit combines sass, sweetness, and sophistication.  It proves that we can (and should) be passionate about pink!

Comfortably Classic Black Dress

I live in NYC, where long-distance walking is a part of everyday life.  So, believe me when I say, with empathy, I know it is hard to rock three inch high heels on a daily basis.  These flats will give your feet the day off, while maintaining your status as "most fashionable" wherever you are.  

Let's deconstruct this outfit.  The foundation is very casual -- a pair of comfy flats and an ultra figure-forgiving cotton dress.  But, this outfit is dressed up with classic accessories.  The accessories will make you look put together, but allow you to feel comfortable all day long.  I love this outfit, because it uses items that most of us have in our closets.   I hope you do too!

Black and White Stripes: Jail Bird!

Lulus $39

It is undeniable that black and white stripes have been popping up all over lately. I've always loved this style because, whenever I wear black and white stripes, it reminds me of old timey prison uniforms. It makes me feel like I'm being just a little bit naughty ;) Here are EB's picks.

Mint: Look Good Enough to Eat

I love the new colour of the moment: mint.  It always reminds me of mint chocolate chip ice cream, a favourite of mine growing up.  Every time I see the colour, it invokes memories of sunshine-filled summer days.  It makes me happy (and a little hungry, too).  These are some of my favourite mint fashions.
