Fashion Nova Jeans: Are They Worth It?If you’re in your 20’s and have any type of social media whatsoever, you’ve probably heard of the brand that I’m going to be mentioned today: Fashion Nova. I first heard of Fashion Nova on Instagram because of celebrities such as Cardi B and Kylie Jenner. All I heard was amazing feedback about the brand; flawless fit, great quality, budget-friendly, cute styles, etc. I never heard anything negative—which made me a bit uneasy. One of the clothing items I kept hearing specifica

The Little Black Shift DressThe LBD has always been a classic. Nearly every fashion icon in history has been captured in a little black dress. Why? Because it never goes out of style. It's timeless, elegant, and extremely chic. This week, I wanted to talk about the importance of owning both a little black dress and a shift dress (bonus if yours is both). A little black dress is always suitable for any occasion. Meeting your significant other's family, attending an art gallery opening, going to work, and
A Petite Woman's Guide to A-Line SkirtsIf you’re more on the petite side, then you probably already know that there are just certain clothing items that are very tricky to wear. One of them in particular: a-line skirts. The shape of an a-line skirt can make your waist look itty-bitty and your legs look leaner. While a-line skirts are often times said to be “universally flattering,” petite women like myself know it to be a little less true. On petite women, a-line skirts can be a little bit fussy to style.

Early Springtime StripesChicago has been teased with spring weather over the last few weeks. A few beautiful, sunshine-filled days and day-jacket weather has made most of us hopeful that maybe, just maybe, the groundhog would be wrong this year. Spring and fall are my favorite seasons, so naturally, I’ve been excited and inspired since our first 50-degree day of 2017. One of my favorite items I can’t wait to break out are crop tops. As I’ve been getting older, I’ve been really drawn to the look of l
Mastering the Careless CuffIf you're looking to give off that polished yet chic, I-just-threw-this-on feel with your outfit, the careless cuff is what you'll need. Loosely cuffing your jacket sleeves or even the ankles of your pants (or both!) can instantly give you cool-girl vibes. It takes literally 30 seconds and can change any overly polished look into a relaxed sophisticated one. Personally, my style has been evolving to chase after the "off-duty model" look, so learning how to fold the hems of my
4 Items Always Worth Splurging OnLet’s say you’re out shopping on a Sunday afternoon at Saks or Nordstrom. You’re looking to revamp your wardrobe, but your budget says otherwise. While you may love luxurious, high quality, expensive clothing and accessories, those items don’t always fit in the price point you might have—but at the same time, you need to get a few items to polish up your look a bit. For some, this situation may lead to the question: what’s worth splurging on? Honestly, I can justify pretty mu
Tips to Make Any Pair of Pumps PainlessIf you’re anything like me, you buy shoes like it’s no one’s business. You have everything from gold metallic strappy platform heels to stud-adorned flats. Special events, cocktail hours, and celebrations are your favorite occasions because it means that you get to wear one of your many pairs of on-trend shoes without looking “too extra” for daily activities. However, we’ve all had that night when you totally slaying your look—from your curled locks to your freshly-polished p
Dressing for the Holidays: New Year's EveNew Year's Eve is my favorite holiday. I love new beginnings, setting goals, and celebrating the new year with the best people in your life from the current year. Like any holiday, I love dressing up and being festive. For New Year's Eve, the dress code is simple: wear what makes you feel confident. For me, anything sparkly and fitted makes me feel confident. I'm a Leo, so naturally, I am confident and I don't mind if I draw attention. The way I think about dressing for New Y
Dressing for the Holidays: Night OutDuring the holiday season it gets pretty chilly* here in the Midwest. *So cold that you want to cry, but can't because your tears would freeze. One of the struggles I constantly have, and I know many women like me go through as well, is how to actually look cute when it's so bitter out. Luckily, over the past year, I have fallen completely in love with faux fur and thigh high boots, which is a quick and easy look for just about any occasion. I absoute adore faux fur because i
