Zimmerman’s Sweet Suits: I’m Not That Innocent
Sugar and spice and everything nice! That’s Zimmerman’s take on swimwear. Yet I consider them to be a brand brimming with edge. Their ruffled concoctions of girlish florals and abstract prints are unapologetically feminine, but they feel fresh, not saccharine. Besides, when you think about it, is there a more feminine garment than the bikini? [...]
Top 5 Athletic-Chic Pieces: Jump On It
There’s nothing better than feeling energetic and active. Even though you could never tear me away from my structured cocktail dresses and teeter-totter stilettos, I do love myself a good kickboxing class. Heck, without it I might not look too hot in a body-hugging mini or be able to stomp the pavement in heels all [...]
Top 5 Tie-Dyed Additions: Tie Me Up, Dye Me Down
There are some crafty activities from summer camp that never seem to vanish from our lives entirely, even if our days of bunk beds and color wars have long passed. Sure, I’ll always reserve a little soft spot in my heart for neon lanyard, but tie-dye is a motif that can actually translate to snob [...]
Top 5 Lolita Looks: Retro Revival
Dolores Haze might have just been 12-years-old, but the reluctant “nymphet” has proven herself to be a style icon for decades. And while the topic of this lust story may be uncomfortable at best, there’s no denying the cultural influence. Penned in 1955, the star of one of the most controversial novels of all time [...]
Top Fortunate Finds: It’s Your Lucky Day
In honor of Friday the 13th – or in spite of, rather – I think we should invite some items into our wardrobe that are believed to ward off evil. From fiery red to Irish green to symbols off of horses, birds, and wild animals, I’m feeling positive energy abounding. With the right piece of [...]
Top 5 Crocheted Concoctions: I’m Hooked
Derived from the French word meaning, “hook,” the process of hooking strands of fabric into an ornate design dates back centuries. People were all about crochet in the Edwardian era, and racier styles hit the beach and made cute mini-dresses in the 1970s. Now crochet is proving to be super-versatile, as proven by these innovative [...]
Balmain Bathing Suit: Not Just for the Sun and Sand
I was in Miami for a week and noticed it’s socially acceptable to wear bathing suits daily everywhere. Yes, even the grocery store. Swimwear isn’t really my thing unless poolside or on a sandy beach but this bathing suit from Balmain has just changed my mind. Wear with leather leggings and under a Rick Owens [...]
Top 5 Beach Cover Ups: Beach Goddess to Beach Bum
I am not the go in the water type. I can’t stand the shock of cold water, and ocean water makes me feel sticky and icky. I prefer to sit on the sidelines with a cocktail and magazine in hand, which is a fine beach day by me. Of course, the lounging process requires the [...]
Sundresses and Swimsuits: Miami Heat
I’m off to Miami next week with the boy to decompress after Fashion Week chaos and spend some quality time with him in the Florida sun! But first, I need to spend some quality time shopping. As much of a downer it can be to track down the perfect bathing suit, it’s worth it even [...]
