In light of the Oscars last Sunday, I had the privilege of stopping by Davide Torchio’s fabulous salon on the Upper Eastside for an overdue and new do. I haven’t had my hair cut in over six months and I’ve been growing it out since October 2006 with 2-3 trims per year - no joke! If my hair had a heart, Davide would have stolen it. I didn’t intend on doing anything different, but he guided me to try out bangs and…voilà!

It took a little convincing since I haven’t had full on bangs since I was in 7th grade. When all was said and done, he definitely didn’t take me back to my junior high bangs and braces days. How’d he get me to take the plunge? He Read the rest of this entry »

Want to know why I’m at home on the couch on a Friday night in NYC? It’s been snowing for the past two days and we’ve accumulated over a foot…it’s slippery slush city out there! Yeah, let’s just blame it on that. Anyway, it’s been awhile since I’ve done an outfit post, so here goes…By the way, this photo was taken before the storm came in this week.

Lucky for me, Sorel Footwear generously sent me a pair of Hoonahs and I’ve honestly worn them at least four times since receiving them 10 days ago. I have seven (seriously) other pairs of black boots, but Read the rest of this entry »

Today is my last day in New York City for a couple of weeks because I’m flying home to Seattle tomorrow! Tonight I’m heading to a blogger party hosted by Julia DiNardo of Fashion Pulse. Getting dressed and living in NYC takes more time since I usually have to go straight from work to whatever event or meet-up is taking place that evening.

Today I was totally feeling mixed metals and really wanted to wear the new boots that WHERE generously sent me, which have stud detailing down the sides. 

Wearing:

• Tee: Nordstrom
• Vest: Forever 21

About a month or so ago, my friend/coworker Matt went to Thailand and brought me back an awesome tank top screen printed with the famous pic of Heidi Klum flipping off the camera. When he got back to Seattle, he  mailed it to me with a little post-it that read something like “Thailand fashion at its best.” What he probably doesn’t know is that I’ve already worn it three times!

The first thing that came to my mind when I got dressed was “conflicted.” First, you have a top that slightly pushes the boundaries combined with frumpy pants and a granny sweater, topped off with an ultra glam necklace. Also, the accessories cost more than the entire outfit. To add to that, this is one of the only times I’ve posted a look of me wearing flats!

The fifth and final challenge for America’s Most Stylish Blogger involved a pair of tie-dye leggings by Plan B, courtesy of Bluefly. I’m a huge fan of all kinds of legwear, even dramatic as seen with the fabulous panelled leggings I snagged from I Heart Norwegian Wood over the summer. However, for this challenge, I ended up choosing a look from pieces I already owned that involved layering my DIY slashed leggings overtop of the tie-dye. For more details on the thought process, read my my post at StyleList.

Wearing:

• Tank dress: A birthday gift from the lovely Sara Seumae
• Jacket: Zara
• Leggings: DIY + Bluefly
• Platform sandals: Also
• Necklace: Studio (on 47th and Lex in NYC…new fav necklace)

This week’s guest judge on the StyleList challenge critique, hosted by Melissa Foss, was Adam Lippes! While all Read the rest of this entry »
