Summer Essentials: The Fifth Midi Dress
As the days get longer and social activities inevitably extend in the evening I find myself needing outfits that easily can take me from work, to happy hour and then to an evening activity with ease. Other considerations are that my office is freezing, at 4pm it is has been blisteringly hot lately and in the evening it cools down significantly, so I decided I needed not just a dress, but the most perfectly versatile dress I could find.

Florals VS. Prints: Does It Have To Be A War?
Does it have to be either or? I recently made a discovery that in the school of print wearing people tend to fall into one of two camps: The Florals versus the Abstract Print wearers. Now while you would think the interest lies between print and not print wearers I find the refusal to wear certain kinds of prints much more perplexing. The worst part of this revelation? I too am completely guilty of isolating myself to one of these camps.

The Summer Staple: Knit Printed Shorts
Dressy shorts have been in vogue for several years now as a more comfortable day to evening skirt alternative. My favorite style to make that all day transition are always knit shorts and I gravitate towards patterns and prints versus neutrals or solids because in the summer season the shorts you wear have even more of an impact on making or breaking your outfit.

Inspired By Devil Wears Prada
I love traveling, as I am sure we all do, but one thing that really inspires me is seeing the different fashion trends in different cities. On my recent trip to Vancouver I loved comparing what I was expecting to be the street style (from looking at Fashion Bloggers etc.) with the reality of what people wear. Let’s face it, a lot of us are risk takers and a bit more out there when it comes to style than the average person. While most Seattleites opt for darker colors I am more likely to be shouting “pass the fushia” and sticking out like a sore thumb.
