Horizontal Heaven

There's something about stripes that make 
my heart skip a beat. 

I have to make a conscious effort to not wear them every day, buy them at every turn, and drape myself completely in ensembles made in horizontal heaven.

For the fellow-stripe-obsessed, here are some of my current faves.

Marc by Marc Jacobs Gauze Arrowhead Scarf, $198 at ShopBop

Easton Pearson Cotton & Lace Dress at Net-a-Porter, $855


Derek Lam 10 Crosby Multi Stripe Dress, $995

Thread Social Nautical Striped Dress at the Outnet.com, $195


Shoshanna Frannie Striped Strapless Dress at ShopBop
Denim & Supply Ralph Lauren Dress at Macys, $65

Jessica Simpson Halter Stripe Dress at Macys, $148


Equipment Cabana Stripe Blouse, $208

Heidi Merrick Tommy Shirt at ShopBop, $350

Theory Layered Silk Dress at Bergdorf Goodman, $231
MARC by Marc Jacobs Flavin Striped Dress at Bergdorf Goodman, $298


Calvin Klein Belted Maxi, $119

BCBGMaxAzria Strapless Striped Maxi, $198
Design Lab iPhone Cover at Nordstroms, $14

Jeffrey Campbell Foxy Shoe in Metallic Stripe at KarmaLoop, $85

Charles Philip Peruvian Smoking Loafers at Bloomingdales, $155



I bought these last Winter and LOVE them. They go with everything and are so comfortable I can wear them all day and night!

Do you share my love for all things striped?  
If so, is there a must-have for you
 in this post?

Be Bold. Stay Solid. In Bold, Solid Color Dresses!


Wearing a bold solid color 
can be as striking as wearing
an allover print.

A few rules for wearing brights:
1. Select a color that suits your skin tone.

Rule Number Two:
2. Select shoes and accessories that balance the colour 
(and style) of the dress.

Perfectly poised with a simple metallic clutch. Or clutch-less, with a bold cuff.

Or let the dress —and the body— speak for itself.

Love the necklace and somehow the red shoes even work?!

Rule Number Three:
3. Spend more money on bold colors. 
Look for quality!

A hot pink or bright green dress from a discount store 
sadly might look 
like just that. 

But a similar dress in a fine fabric like silk, cashmere or wool makes all the difference. 

In the case of how to wear bold colour...
quality may the most important rule of all.

Dress of the Week: Calvin Klein

I couldn't love this dress more if it was 
hand-delivered by Mr. Klein himself.



Nordstrom $125AU

The details: Shades of Indigo highlight a dress designed with a pleated bodice and banded empire waist above a gently flared skirt. Back zip, unlined, cotton & spandex.
