Leather on Leather: Political Movements and the Way We Dress
Leather Overall Dress (similar HERE and HERE) | Beret | Leather Coat (similar HERE ) |Boots (similar HERE) | Necklace (similar HERE) The way we dress is often a reflection of fashion trends true, but it also can be a reflection of the times and cultural movements that are happening. Today’s look is giving me major 70’s vibes and I kept help but wonder if my googling of Gloria Steinhem protesting in the 70’s filtered into my wardrobe choices subconsciously. Similarly with fashion week approaching leather on leather seems like a fresh way to combine current closet favorites but again there is something tough and defining about a leather…

Personal Style: Declaring My 2017 Uniform
There’s a huge push after the New Year to redefine yourself, be it physically, financially or even stylistically. This year my goals were the opposite: instead of becoming something different I wanted to hone in on what was working already especially when it comes to personal style.
