Color me…colorful

Designers have been showing some pretty fantastic color combinations in the Pre-Fall collections--lots of deep turquoises, burnt oranges, and emerald greens. Even with my predilection for gray, I've been searching my closet for colorful pieces I might not normally put together. Fendi, Jason Wu The colors at Diane von Furstenburg made me swoon.

Cold weather necessities

This time of year, I don't leave the house without slathering on a rich, creamy moisturizer and swathing myself in as many layers of shearling and wool as humanly possible. Here are a few of my essentials: 1. American Apparel knit thigh high socksI used to wear long john bottoms in the winter, but was always put off that they encouraged excessive, um, perspiration in certain areas. You know what

I don't buy new fur, but y'all know I can't resist vintage, so I decided to pull out the ol' Monchichi vest and high-waisted teacher pants. Vintage vest & purse, thrifted gloves, trousers & blouse, DKNY heels I felt half '70s Charlie girl, half

Best of Style Tour shopping!

Hands down, the best part of the Dress for Success Style Tour was meeting new people. From Ms. Garr at Savannah G rocking purple streaks in her hair, to Nancy at Talk of the Town proclaiming herself "the happiest broke person you'll ever meet", not one person was in it for money. Everyone I encountered just decided to take a risk and do what they love. The second best part? Finding new places to shop!
