We recently chatted with Susan Beischel, Designer and President of skin, a luxurious line of loungewear and underwear that transcends to ‘every-wear’! Made of soft, refined materials in lush pima cotton gauze, organic superfine pima cotton, terry and jersey, and baby Alpaca silk, these casual yet elegant pieces include details like raw edges, natural dyes […] Read More »
How I rocked the shine trend for Spring! Sponsored by Kohl’s
I love to take current trends and mix them up in a way that works in my wardrobe every day! Kohl’s tasked me with creating a look based on this Spring’s ‘Shine’ trend – for under $100. As I shopped the store, I realized this was no easy task – there were tons of options […] Read More »
My style: Stylin’ with the Citizen Eco-Drive Silhouette Crystal Bangle watch – perfect for Valentine’s Day gifts!
With Valentine’s Day around the corner, I’m coming across tons of products to give and get. The fine folks at Citizen sent over this beautiful Ladies’ Citizen Eco-Drive Silhouette Crystal Bangle watch and if I didn’t already have one (thanks, Citizen), I’d definitely ask for it as a Valentine’s Day gift. I love that it’s […] Read More »
My style: Pops of pink (J. Crew striped popover blouse + Hudson jeans + Celine Leather Luggage Tote in neon pink)
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 […] Read More »
My style: Going for the gold (Yellow cardigan + Zara metallic jeans + Cleobella ‘Kaya’ Bucket bag + Charles David suede platform pumps)
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 […] Read More »
My Style: Test-driving the Knomo ‘Ravello’ laptop bag
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 […] Read More »
My Style: Splurge vs. Steal at searsStyle
Though I indulge in the occasional fashion splurge, I much prefer a good steal. So when I received a $75 gift card to shop and review the searsStyle collections as part of the Glam Trendsetter Program, I was all in! I went to check out their various collections – UK Style by French Connection, Kardashian […] Read More »
My Style: Baltimore Harbor (Zara blazer + BB Dakota top +DvF pants + Celine Luggage Tote)
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. A blazer is my usual go-to piece for […] Read More »
My Style: Birds & Sparkles (Zara top & crystal platforms + Missoni for Target skirt)
My accessory addiction knows no bounds, so no matter what store I’m in, I hit up the accessories section first. On a recent shopping trip to Zara I spied these crystal-studded platform slingbacks (that the photos do NO justice – they’re so much more beautiful in person) and I just had to have them. Of […] Read More »
My Style: Early Thanksgiving (H&M top + ASOS skirt + kate spade bag + Charles David platform pumps)
I spent the weekend before last with my family, in-laws and family friends celebrating Thanksgiving – two weeks early! Typically my Thanksgiving look is all about comfort but since this was a special occasion with guests aside from my family, I dressed up – just a bit. This Aztec-patterned Skater Skirt is from ASOS, and […] Read More »
My Style: What to wear to a baby shower (Tucker for Target dress + Zara sandals + Kooba bag)
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, […] Read More »
My Style: Hudson Jeans & What’s Haute support Breast Cancer Awareness Month!
When Hudson Jeans reached out and asked if What’s Haute would help spread the word about their breast cancer awareness initiative, I jumped at the chance. I have family members and close friends that have been directly affected by the disease, so supporting breast cancer research and awareness and helping to find a cure has […] Read More »
My Style: Orange Pop (Hawke & Co. trench + UK Style by French Connection top + J. Crew pants)
Gloomy days call for a pop of color, don’tcha think? In college, I used to be that girl that would always wear all black. Not sure what I had against color, since my high school wardrobe was PRETTY COLORFUL. Thank goodness there are few photos. But throughout college, I donned all black, pretty much all […] Read More »
My Style: Peplum 2011 (Kersh top + Zara jeans & sandals + Jimmy Choo Mahala/Maddy bag)
On one of the perfect, sun-filled days we had at the end of the summer, I pulled out this Kersh printed peplum-style top. Admittedly, I was never really a fan of the style – peplum dresses always conjure up images of awful eighties style to me – particularly the clothes Jackée Harry wore while playing […] Read More »
My Style: Lucky Zigzags (Missoni for Target cardigan + Seven7 jeans + Ore 10 bag)
After hearing all of the Missoni for Target online ordering horror stories and tons of tales of canceled orders, I guess I can consider myself lucky. I snagged some items from the pop-up shop in NYC on Fashion’s Night Out, plus I managed to order some more stuff when the website wasn’t crashing. This cardigan […] Read More »
My Style: Jill Scott at Jones Beach (Victoria’s Secret floral sweetheart dress + MRKT cork sandals + Beirn bag)
I received a surprise anniversary gift from my hubby – tickets to see Jill Scott in concert! She’s been my favorite female artist ever since she came out with her first album (and I’m not biased just because she’s a Philly girl like me) – she’s one super talented singer and any chance I can […] Read More »
My Style: Brights and Whites (Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent top + James Jeans)
I have a favorite, secret TJ Maxx store that has THE BEST designer stuff. I’m talking Pucci wallets, Katherine Kwei knot clutch bags, Prada pumps and Fendi bags. These are the just some of the things I’ve bought/seen there. And this Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent batwing-style tunic top. It was between this and an […] Read More »
My Style: White on White (E.vil Ribcage tank + James Jeans + Jimmy Choo bag)
I love the crisp look of white clothing but usually refrain from wearing it because I always get it stained. And today was no different. I spent the day brunching and shopping with my family and thought this was the perfect outfit for both. It wasn’t until later in the day that I realized my red […] Read More »
