Traditional work wear often falls short when it comes to being stylish. A basic suit and blouse leaves much to be desired, like meetings I’ve attended. I’m sure I am not the only one who has struggled with what to wear to work. Looking back, way back, I remember my first interview. It was for […]

Camped Out – The Men of the Met

The men of the Met Gala didn’t leave everything up to the ladies when it came to showing up for Camp. This display “is not in terms of beauty, but in terms of the degree of artifice, of stylization,” as Susan Sontag points out in her essay, “Notes on Camp” Check out the men in […]
Met Gala 2019 – Off to Camp

This year’s met gala theme was “Camp: Notes on Fashion.” Inspired by Susan Sontag’s essay, “Notes on Camp“, where she defines camp as “a certain mode of aestheticism.” Left to the interpretation of those who attended, we saw everything from dresses with glamour to the avant garde in explorations of excess. I can say this […]

RSVP for NYE

I love New Years because of new opportunities and adventures possible in the year ahead. While I don’t set resolutions because they’re too easy to break and too hard to keep (think I have only kept one), I do take time to focus on my purpose or “why”. Knowing my “why” is my motivation […]
MAD ABOUT PLAID – Wearing Fall’s Hottest Trend
Growing up, I had less than an affinity for plaid. I attended Catholic elementary school where we were required to wear a uniform. A rebellious child, I didn’t like being told what to (I still don’t). Styling my outfits was an emotional outlet for me. Therefore, being […]
