My birthday is exactly one month away {woo hoo, Cancers!} and I naturally can't stop thinking about what I know now that I wish I knew then. That includes everything from love to finances and even personal style.My 20s were full of style envy. I worked at fashion magazines so I was naturally envious of the celebs on the pages of the mag and even the coworkers I encountered every single day. They just looked so great and I just...well, I wasn't really sure.But looking back, there are a few things I know for sure and that I'd tell my younger self.White Coastal cat eye glasses, gray v-neck shirt and printed black pants

It's February and besides being the second month of the year {and Black Panther comes out in a few days!!!!}, it means we survived the very first Try It, Wear It, Love It challenge. The 31-day style adventure had one intention: to open your eyes to your personal sense of style. You might be thinking, why would I need an eye opener about my style. It's mine, I know all about it. But you might be surprised by the amount of people who can't define their personal style {like, what words would you use to describe how you dress?} and others just feel intimidated by the mere thought of stepping in to their closet.looking-fly-on-a-dime-vintage-jeans-styling-tips

The new year is just a few days away and maybe you've made financial resolutions or have specific fitness goals. Those are great and absolutely necessary, but I also think it's super important to have fashion resolutions as well. As superficial as "fashion" may feel, it's a part of our lives. We all have to wear clothes and like it or not, we all judge each other based on appearances. Sucks, but true.But there's also so much power in your clothing. Your clothes and overall style speaks before you do. It tells your story or even conveys your mood without you having to say a word. And fashion resolutions are a way to define your personal style  and take an assessment as to whether your outward appearance is truly a reflection of who you are and how you feel.That's why I came up with the Try It, Wear It, Love It style challenge for January 2018. This is 31 days of trying something new, wearing it and {hopefully} loving it.Try It Wear It Love It style challenge

The process of cleaning out your closet can feel super overwhelming, but it can be broken down into three simple steps: keep, trash, cash.
But read on for more specific tips if you feel your closet is overflowing, needs organizing or if you just want to know how to wear that piece you love but are clueless about styling it.

The first month of 2017 is almost over and hopefully you're sticking to your resolutions, especially those fashion resolutions?
Remember when you vowed to wear more color, stop wearing the same items over and over or decided to finally define your personal style? Yeah, all those resolutions.
Well, I'm hosting a fun event this week that can solve some of your dilemmas. This is a hands-on, personal styling event that you need to attend if you're in the NYC-area. And it'll be fun!
