    Mad For Plaid

    SheInside Plaid Shirt, Zara Trousers similar here, Forever21 Statement Necklace, Zara Pony Hair Boots similar Here Something strange is happening in Seattle: it is STILL WARM! In fact, its borderline hot out reaching 70 degrees some days. My confusion aside, I still want to dress for fall even if it doesn’t feel like it, so cue the plaid. Plaid shirts are quite possibly the most quintessential fall item that doesn’t require the actual seasons to change (unlike scarves, high boots etc.) I am a firm believer that everyone needs a great plaid shirt, perhaps even two if you choose to opt for flannel on occasion. This is my favorite plaid…

    How to Make Your Own Burberry-Inspired Blanket Cape/Coat

    The Blanket Cape: Otherwise known in less formal circles as the poncho, at Burberry the name is most decidedly Blanket Cape and nothing else. When Burberry’s Fall ’14 fashion show ended with models draped in well, Burberry blankets, we knew this was going to be a trend, and boy is it ever. I personally love a good multifunction piece that keeps me extra warm (ever turned a poncho into a scarf? It’s fantastic and HUGE! Cue the dramatic music.) I was instantly in love and trying to contemplate where I could dig up $1300 dollars for this blanket, I mean coat, I mean scarf… thing, that was so fabulous! Fast…

    What to Wear When September Feels Like Summer

          Jacket Zara, Shorts Zara, Boots Steve Madden, shop similar options below: In recent memory there hasn’t been a September quite so lovely as the one we are having currently here in Seattle. The sun is shining and when you are fully in that lovely warmth it is toasty out, however the shade is a different story. This unfortunately presents a bit of a sartorial challenge as you can’t fully embrace fall: fully-clothed boots, jacket and scarf, but it also isn’t warm enough to go without all three of these. Enter the long, dressy short. In the summer I did a post about the long short and how…

    Subtle Stripes: Embracing Spring ’15 Trends Today

    Blazer old similar here, Boyfriend Zara Jeans similar here,Boots Zara similar here, Zara t-shirt here If you are anything like me, the second you hear the words “Mercedes Benz Fashion Week” you are frantically donning your shopping/hunting/digging pants so that the second new trends start hitting the runway you are already recreating them in your own wardrobe. For New York Fashion week one of the most obvious and pervasive trends was stripes for spring. Now, these aren’t your yacht-ing stripes of your suited stripes, instead this trend was a bold eye catching stripe on stripe combo most notably seen at the Altuzarra and Victoria Beckham shows. I LOVE the idea…

    How to Dress in the In-Between Season Months

    Jacket Forever21, Sweater Zara, Skirt Forever21, Boots Zara, Bag Zara, Necklace Forever21. Shop Links Below:  Transitioning seasons is always difficult: deciding when to pack things up and when to dig the new season’s pieces back out. When I started putting together the outfit for today’s post the sweater portion of the look was actually a tank top. I quickly realized, however, that I was far too cold to be so uncovered on an ever more brisk Seattle evening. Long story short, the storage space was opened and out came the chunky winter sweaters. How I like to think about the changing seasons is you don’t have to swap out your…
