Beat Winter At It’s Own Game: Volume I
Alright, time for some honesty: We just exited the holiday season and yes, I ate all of the cookies, indulged on eggnog and what have you, and consequently have become what I would call ‘festively plump’ and I know I am not alone. That doesn’t mean I am fat or any of us are, it just means that our skinny trousers perhaps are a tad too skinny for comfort and lets just say you won’t see me in a body-con dress tomorrow. That being said, I offer you two outfit tricks that will help you navigate this festive time of year, no diets necessary (time seems to take care of…

All About that Bass… I Mean Boots
Sales, sales everywhere! The retail industry has certainly changed over the years as Black Friday Sales have become commonplace and now it the post-holiday after Christmas time period has taken the top position as the biggest sale season of the year. While I love a great steal (who doesn’t) I must admit that a bit of the excitement is lost when every single store I could possibly shop at has everything on sale. Also, it is slightly disheartening watching items that you buy at full price consistently going on sale. But let’s focus on a place I consistently love finding steals and deals: Nordstrom Rack. These ridiculously gorgeous colorful…

Chunky Knits and Short Hair
Perhaps I watched Roman Holiday a few too many times over the Holiday but something about the new year had me thinking “off?” “Yes, all off!” just like Miss Hepburn. While my neck may be chilly my newly shorn locks have me feeling fresh and chic this January and as my photographer Katie says, it is actually easy to take photos of my earrings now. The weather is cold so the clothes must be warm like this fantastic chunky knit sweater and heavy pleated skirt. I hope you all stay cozy and stylish this fantastic Thursday. Outfit details below. Cheers!-Rebecca Zara Sweater similar, Chelsea28 Skirt in Gray here, similar here,…

Elevate Your Style in 2015: A Year of Making Statements
Happy New Year! Alright 2015, we are ready for you. I am not big on new years resolutions but I am a fan of goals and moving towards things that you value, such as defining one’s personal style. I have found over the course of this last year that my favorite style statements often involve taking several bold pieces and mashing them together: exactly what most people tell you NOT to do. We have all been in the dressing room before trying on that loud skirt or top etc and thought ‘What on earth will I wear this with?’ When we voice that opinion out loud a sales person or…
