Okay, Cinderella, it’s gala season which means it’s time to break out your best! Depending on the specifics of the dress code, a long gown is usually the safest way to go. However, you can get away with a beautiful cocktail dress if the event is not too formal. Read the rest of this entry »

While perusing the Adidas site, I came across some very interesting shoes – bowling shoes! But these aren’t your typical bowling shoes in the oxford style that you sometimes look at with your jeans and think, “Could I…? Nahhh!” Read the rest of this entry »
I had the chance to visit with Houston Community College (HCC) fashion collection curator Dana Blue as she takes us through the fashion department’s latest show Steampunk Chronicles: The Elizabeth S. Brown Fashion Collection. In a six-minute recorded interview complete with images, she shares the history of the underground steampunk revolution, how it’s worn, how HCC garnered the collection from friend and historical fashion collector Elizabeth S. Brown, and a few examples of the pieces in the collection. The perfect meld of fashion and history! Watch the video.

Clutches are a girl’s best friend. They’re light, cute and perfect for a night on the town. But you don’t have to save your clutches for your favorite party dresses. The clutch, or more classically known pocketbook, can add some panache to a casual, daytime look, too. Instead of pulling out that huge, awkward looking handbag in your closet, try going for that lightweight, adorable clutch you’ve tucked away for special occasions.

If you’re the adventurous type, the best way to cross over the hundreds of grachten (canals) in Amsterdam is to hop on a bicycle. Everywhere you go, you’ll see rows and rows if not whole clumps of bikes parked next to storefronts or chained to bridge rails.

With the impending wedding of Prince William to his princess-to-be Kate Middleton on April 29, I can’t help but add my two cents to what seems to be about a million dollars worth of commentary on her chic fashion sense. I could talk about her blue Issa dress, her collection of hats, and her fun club style, but there’s so much more to what her fabulous wardrobe means to a generation of women than meets the eye. So, as one of those women, I am happy to see that Kate Middleton is the new style icon for the simultaneously poised, sexy and independent chick in her mid-20s to 30s that we’ve been missing for the past decade.

As I was entering the delectable array of spring footwear (they are truly like confections for the feet – check ‘em out!) into the WeareverTheWeather.com My Stylist app, I came across a dangerous looking pair of platform wedges. Dangerous looking because they are incredibly awesome (can’t decide whether to get them in green or pink) and dangerous looking because they would basically make my 5′3″ height rival that of the average American male. But, to be honest, some of my most comfortable shoes are platform wedges! Read the rest of this entry »

Fashion rules just aren’t any fun if you don’t try to break them. Mixing black and brown is definitely one of those rules that people (both women and men) have a hard time breaking. I am personally a proponent of the combo – when done right it’s super chic and adds a little depth to any outfit.
