I try to avoid impulse shopping by going into a store already knowing what I want/need to buy, or waiting a few days to decide if I truly want/need it. And when I can’t stop obsessing over something in my head, it becomes a must-have. Such was the case with this striped J. Crew shirt and this neon/fluoro/hot pink Celine Leather Luggage Tote. I first saw the bag online on Savannah Brinson (Lebron’s... 

There are those fashion essentials you need, and there are those you simply want. And there are those that fit into both categories. I never in my life thought I’d need or want metallic gold jeans, yet they appeared on Zara.com a few months ago and suddenly I both wanted and needed them badly. Once they arrived, I wondered, “What does one wear with gold jeans?” Well, here’s... 

As a writer/editor, I need my tech tools with me at all times – like my laptop for writing and editing, my iPhone for Tweeting and Facebooking, and my camera for street style and fashion snaps and cords to connect them all. So despite always carrying around large handbags, I need a separate one for tech stuff. Despite the many options, most tech bags just aren’t that cute. Sure they get... 

Is it just us, or does the start of every new season, or New Year or even new month give you an excuse to buy a new handbag? No – it’s just us you say? Ok, well then please don’t judge us.

Just a few weeks ago, the weather was just perfect – sunny and balmy outside. It certainly didn’t feel like Fall or Winter. I took these pics while visiting Baltimore Harbor on a gorgeous day, filled with strolling by the water and eating tons of crabs. Yum.

Typically baby shower attire consists of little more than jeans and a shirt for most, but when the mommy-to-be is a fashionista, you know you have to step your game up. I recently attended my friend Adrienne’s baby shower last week and I knew that she and my other stylish friend Carmen would look uber-fab, so I decided to forgo my typical weekend top and jeans routine. I bought this Tucker dress...
