Adventures With Color!
I’ve had a lot on my mind lately and most of it seems to be color related. In fashion, having a strong understanding of color is essential. The wrong palette will ruin a collection. And so as my final semester at FIT draws to a close, it seems like the majority of my assignments depend on my color abilities. Now, I’ve always considered myself to be someone who is good – great even- when it comes to mixing colors but I’ve come... Read More
Blurred Lines
Hiroko Masuike for The New York Times This morning, The New York Times published a fairly interesting article by Ruth La Ferla on fashion’s new lean towards androgynous dressing, called “It’s All a Blur to Them”. The article argued that “Women have been incorporating trousers, biker jackets and combat boots into their wardrobes since Amelia Earhart swapped her pearls for a flight suit. But increasingly, it is men who... Read More
Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes
I am finally back from a much needed blogging break. This summer has been inredibly strange and for the last month and a half, perhaps longer, I haven’t really had things that I felt like were interesting enough to share. I’d say that at least the last ten posts have been “phoned in” and that’s not okay. If you’re not committed to blogging then don’t do it! What’s the point, right? Anyway, I’m... Read More
Questionable Trends: Jeggings
I’m perfectly content with the jeans that I own. They’re mostly skinny and fit into all of my boots. I also love my leggings, for those occasions when I like to fel a little more “free”. Why on earth, would I want to combine the two? These pants are made from coton -spandex blends and are most likely going to be unflattering on the majority of people. But for those of you who do purchase “jeggings”, let me be the... Read More
Frantic!

I’m really looking forward to the summer – even if its spent working and interning . On Monday, when I was leaving my Intro. to Fashion class, I got stopped by a photographer from Mpdclick – a fashion forecasting company. It was kind of funny because as part of my class,... Read More

Style Recovery: Lindsay Lohan
Once upon a time, I used to really think that Lindsay Lohan was stunning. Hot even. I thought she had a great sense of style and always looked glamorous, even when she was dressed down. I loved her partnership with Rachel Zoe, although recognize that it was around this time that Lohan’s personal life seemed to be falling apart and her weight dropping to scary lows. Recently, while watching her final appearance on Ugly Betty, Linde and I were... Read More
