Tumblr Tuesday: Rainbow Eyes and Purple Quartz

  Multicolored rainbow eye shadow used to be my go-to party look, and I think it's time to bring it back; If I drove through a tunnel of purple blossoms every morning I might appreciate the commute a bit more; Layering patterns and textures like paisley and lace is one of the best ways to create interest and depth; Sturdy-heeled ankle boots are the perfect antidote to an abbreviated hemline; I'm still not over my obsession

NY Fashion Week: Video Vanguard

  Thanks to the internets, it's easier than ever to follow what's happening on and off the runways during New York Fashion Week. Besides the usual pictures and reviews and street style snaps, video is making me feel like I'm in the front row, albeit in sweats instead of Suno. In particular: YouTube's Live From the Runway.    What's your favorite way to keep up with the shows? The Greatest Voice of All On a much sadder note, RIP to

Get Red-dy!

  Confession: I have never been able to properly pull off a red lip. Pink, purple, burgundy, even orange, I've managed to (mostly) master. But red? I look like a naughty toddler playing in mommy's makeup. It just never seems to look rose-blossom right. Until

Tumblr Tuesday: Sunsets and String Theory

The combination of patterns and silhouettes from this clothing line is so appealing; I know my fellow party people know how this one goes; Wallpapering only a portion of the wall seems like a much better idea than trying to cover a whole friggin' room;I can feel myself slipping into a vacation state of mind and there's nothing I can do about it; The layers of color and chiffon on this dress are reminiscent of

Pitti Me

  I just realized how weird it is that I never pay attention to the menswear collections, when it's well documented just how much I love menswear. That's gotta change, no?   The tailoring makes for an easy crossover, and most of the styling can be applied to women's RTW--blazers, vests, trousers, and sweaters are all things most women wear anyway. Trade flat shoes for a platform heel or high-heeled brogue, add a sparkly piece of jewelry and

InVESTment

Something about my favorite Monchichi fur vest feels rugged and glamorous at the same time. That weird style dichotomy is what keeps me coming back to it again and again. Vintage vest and gloves; thrifted oxford; Forever21 skirt; Limited cardigan, Rupert Sanderson boots; earrings from The Little Mahatma Do you have any pieces that work dressed up OR down? How do you wear them?

Tumblr Tuesday: Teddy Bear Skulls and Ice Cream Spoons

The intricacy and detailing on this blouse is giving me LIFE; I've been seeing the ol' chandelier-in-a-birdcage trick a lot lately, and I think it's growing on me; While it's important to distinguish "mine" and "yours" ice cream spoons, all of the actual ice cream is definitely mine; Sorry to break it to you, but this is what your old friend Teddy Ruxpin's skull looks like; I love the unusual take on traditional design in

Ask T: How Do You Get the Clothes for Magazine Pictures?

  Time for another round of "Ask T"! This is not so much a styling question as it is a stylist question: Hi Tamia, I really like your work in A-Line magazine!  I've always wondered how you get the clothes for photo shoots. Do you have to buy a bunch of stuff? If so, who pays for it and where do you keep it? ~K Hi K, I'm freelance, so I usually pitch an idea or concept for a shoot,
