Urban Street Style: Revisiting One of 2016’s Biggest Trends
There is no denying that 2016 has been the year of urban street style, more specifically it has been the year of Vetements coming of age and changing the way we think about fashion. While urban style may not have been the only major trend of the year (looking at your Gucci) it certainly has been the most disruptive.

Styling Tips to Modernize a Vintage Fur Coat
We all have a coat like this in our closet, or a fur item that screams ‘1980’s Aspen’ or a ‘1950’s Night on the Town’ that you love but feels slightly out of place in your wardrobe because let’s face it: people don’t wear giant fur pieces very often anymore. So how do you take something like this gorgeous fur I got at the recent Goodwill Glitter Sale and modernize it so that it looks like an organic part of your wardrobe?
