I remember the time I purchased my first pair of premium denim. If I had to use one word to describe the way they feel compared to my regular old jeans, it would be butter. The brand was Adriano Goldschmied (AG) and the two major qualities that stood out to me, and still do, were: 1. The way they stretched easily over my legs, allowing me to bend and walk with ease—like butter—yet staying tight enough to give me shape and 2. That I didn’t have to take them to the tailor to be hemmed since I’m petite. AG is a great brand for petites, but at the same time, the different styles AG offers flatter all kinds of body types. The Sisterhood of the

Have you ever bought something you loved so deeply that you instantly regretted not buying the 25 other colors it comes in? I definitely have—and I’m the crazy one who eventually owns all 25 colors, too. There’s no stopping me. Well, unless my husband intervenes and we have a come-to-Jesus moment. When I discovered the Sorel 1964 Premium Wedge Boots last fall, I knew I actually needed a pair—in three colors. I was tired of slipping and sliding on the ice in my Steve Madden boots (I fell flat on my face once—yeah, it hurt). Don’t get me wrong, Steve Madden boots have unsurpassable style and will probably outlive me—especially the Freebird brand, but the functionality of those boots don’t even come close to cutting

The lace bralette has been on the rise for quite some time and has easily become one of the biggest latest trends. When it comes to styling, lace bralettes are worn underneath clothes, so that the straps complement a top or dress (my personal preference), or they are worn as a top itself, showcasing most of the chest part of the bralette through a low-cut or cutout shirt or dress. In regards to style, my top two picks are the racerback bralette and the halter bralette. Lace bralettes add a feminine, bohemian vibe to any ensemble—even a preppy look. Racerback bralettes look great when paired with sleeveless dresses, tops, and even sweaters that expose the upper back. With this style specifically, the beautiful lace detail of the racerback is subtly featured, but

I am so enthralled by the four hot denim trends of 2017! I have never seen such edgy and unique denim trends come alive all at once. Plus, these trends are ones that your kids or significant other may actually like! I don’t know about you, but there are some trends that my guy just doesn’t get… Without further ado, here are 4 hot denim trends of 2017: 1. The Raw Hem The raw hem summons a 60s and 70s vibe—two decades when hemlines were simply deemed nonexistent, according to Donna Ida, founder of denim boutique Donna Ida. In the fall and winter, tuck a thin turtleneck into a pair of raw hem denim for a simple, streamlined 70s look. For a fun

I know, I know, the term “Millennial” has become a bit sour to those of us who were born between 1982 and 2004, and especially to those of us who are hard-working, appreciative, and resourceful when it comes to our time and technology. When I use the term “Millennial,” I mean to distinguish our specific generation of youth—no stereotyping or sweeping generalizations allowed! Many of us millennials, although unique individuals, love what’s currently in style, and we love fashion in general. To narrow it down, I’m giving 3 must-have staple pieces for every Millennial: 1. Cropped Denim. Cropped denim comes in many colors and washes and is a refreshing style to rock with booties, a pair of Converse, fashion sneakers, wedges, or strappy sandals! It is

White jeans have the ability to add a fresh vibe to any outfit. There are still some nay-sayers out there who think white denim has an expiration date each year, but let this article be an encouragement to you to go ahead and disregard the “wear by” date and sport white denim year-round. You don’t need permission to set a good style example, so just go for it! Hold your head high, reach for a great pair of white jeans, and commit to rocking them every season. Here are a few styling ideas: during the spring and summer, pair white jeans with tank tops or cold shoulder tops and wedges. In the fall, wear white jeans with tunics and flowy black tees plus a little denim vest or a jean jacket and booties. For winter, try a cozy

Even though I have a passion for fashion, there are many (and I mean a whole lot of) days when I wear an old t-shirt and shorts with no makeup on and my hair thrown up into a ponytail. This is partly because I’m most comfortable in this type of outfit and partly because getting dressed up takes more effort and hours than I’m willing to give at times. We all have days when our body feels unhealthy and larger than it actually is (AKA the “gross” feeling) but we still have to get dressed up to go to work or an event. There are some places where yoga pants are just not acceptable. I tend to feel this way when I’m on my period, I haven’t been taking

I have staples in my closet, and then I have staples. You know what I’m talking about … those trusty pieces we all have and gravitate toward, wear on repeat, and purchase in every color possible. Well, I’ve recently discovered a new staple, and it’s the perfect tank top—the Free People LA Nite Tank. One of the best things about my new found staple is that it’s only $20.00. This perfect tank is very flattering because it cuts in right below the shoulders, creating a slimming effect. It’s also very lightweight and breezy—you won’t give a second thought to it. The LA Nite Tank has a bit of flow at the bottom, so it gives good coverage for those who don’t like tightness across the midsection.

I have an ever-present fashion issue with regular ol’ tights. I love the classic look of tights with dresses and skirts, but by the end of the day I usually find a few obvious snags or even some flat out holes in them. The snags and holes ruin the clean, classic look the tights create! It’s basically a cruel game that tights like to play, and the tights usually win. However, when I discovered these specific herringbone tights from Target, I found a fool-proof loophole that would change everything in this game. Herringbone tights are essentially the only style of tights I wear nowadays. First and foremost, they don’t snag as easily. And when the inevitable snag does appear, it’s not as obvious as it is in
