Continuing the Festivities
Are you like me and still wish Christmas was here? I love the magic of the holiday season and it ends far too soon. I was perusing the New York Times’ Style section and stumbled upon Bill Cunningham’s On the Street column featuring the festive participants of SantaCon. The annual event held in New York City features over 5,000 people dressed in their holiday best parading around NYC and having...

Winter's Favorite Cozy Accessory: the Scarf
By Grace Pulliam; Grace & Beauty Some women collect shoes; others collect bags. I collect scarves.  A few summers ago, I participated in a study abroad trip in Central Europe.

Rock Out this NYE

Ring In The New Year In Style
BY: JESSICA SURBAUGH For New Year’s Eve this year, I’m way into the gold and/or black color scheme. I’m a total neutrals gal, so I’ve been sticking to black (generally throwing in some sheer or a sequin or two) for the past few years. To me, gold and black is super classy yet can be totally sexy when worn the right way. This NYE is also one of those times when I’m...

No Buyer's Remorse: NYE Look for Less
When I was seventeen, my mother let me host a NYE party at my house. I told my mother I invited ten close friends; around forty people showed up, including a random substitute teacher (…but that’s another story).  Of course, I felt like my outfit had to be perfect, and I ended up spending all my Christmas money on an expensive, sparkly dress—in my defense, the dress was totally...

Fashion Forward Friends
Dear Santa, I have a really long list of friends that I need to get things for. There are some of them, (we all have them) that are the “fashion forward” friends that I really don’t know what to get for. My ultimate fear is always, that it gets exchanged or I get a fake “aww, well thanks!” So, Santa I write to you to help me with my fashionable friend this holiday season. Sound...

Shine this Holiday Season!
Glitter and embellishments have been all the rage this holiday season. Wearing embellished pieces requires moderation; dripping in sequins from head to toe might result in a obnoxious disco ball effect. When styled appropriately, sparkly accents can add an edge of elegance and excitement to any outfit. Ranging from luxurious to very affordable, here are my top bedazzled accessories for...
