The Full Suit: Is Fall’s ‘Hottest Trend’ Actually Going to Catch On?
Fashion magazines and trend guides do this every season: they pick a ‘hot trend’ and declare it THE trend of the season even prior to the season actually getting here. This causes retailers to scramble to stock their shelves with this ‘IT’ item and fashionistas everywhere to try to hop on the bandwagon early, but does it always work? This season’s Hottest trend is the full suit which means matching jacket and pants worn together. Born out of the Gucci runways I personally am already a huge fan (see my week of wearing suiting HERE, HERE and HERE) I think the translation to the real world may be a bit…

Embracing Your 80’s Alter Ego Using Modern Clothing
From the runways of Spring and Fall to the newest Netflix original series GLOW, the ’80’s obsession is alive and well and only getting more popular.

Vintage Vacation Vibes: Unleash Your Inner Retiree
Vintage clothing and trends are unmistakably having a moment right now as mainstream retailers like Zara create ‘vintage inspired’ pieces and style them like they came from your favorite 70’s, 80’s or 90’s movie. I also LOVE when a new trend gives you such specific references as to where it came from that you instantly know how to wear it. Take for example today’s trend Vintage Vacation Vibes trend: it’s one part Man Repeller, three parts retiree from South Beach and 100% a blast to wear. Let’s start with the hat. Wide-brimmed hats had a major moment the past few years and while the ‘trendiness’ of them on their own…
