Black Friday: The Day and the Outfit
Black Friday: The ominous US unofficial holiday where we all are supposed to be inspired by ridiculous deals to buy all of our Christmas presents/spend all of our pay checks in one day. I love electronics as much as the next person, but I never have wanted to or tried to use this ‘magical’ day in order to score massive deals on a TV or computer or what have you. Let’s face it, all I really care about is clothing. Until recently I feel like the major retailers haven’t exactly played ball with Black Friday leaving me ho-humming as I wander around a mall feeling like I can’t justify purchasing…

Winter Trend Report: The Belted Scarf
Wraps, Ponchos, Ruana, Cape: Whatever you call them this season’s must have trend is a blanket scarf (or whatever name you choose) wrapped around your shoulders, layered or even belted. A few months ago I belted one of my favorite such scarves thinking that I was doing a great job of knocking of Burberry but I had NO idea how pervasive and explosive this trend would be.

All About the Blazer: Mint-Oreo Style
Nordstrom Blazer similar here, White Blouse Similar, Mint Trousers Similar, Shoes & Bag Zara Ah the Statement Jacket, in this instance, The Blazer: A few weeks ago I did a post addressing the fact that yes, even I have to dress like in a more traditional office appropriate manner every now and again. Granted I love turning a classic look on its head and causing people to quizzically squint their brow at my outfit but every now again presenting a perfectly polished look can have an equivalent amount of impact. I may kid about the colors in this outfit but at the end of the day it is nothing but…
