For a sort of scary amount of years, I was obsessed with wearing white tank tops under every shirt. Always and everyday, pulled down inches below the waist of my jeans, so it showed. Am I alone in this? Was it just a Seattle thing? Those were strange times. Anyway, finally something changed, I think [...]

By Ann of Holier than Now Truth be told, my first reaction when I see any form of acid washed denim is BLEURGH. It’s like I’m conditioned to hate it; what can I say, I personally still remember the 80’s. But upon noticing it around the streets/webs of late, I decided to forgo my prejudice and [...]

By Crissie Fuller You’ve probably noticed by now, but neon is coming back in a big way. I tried to avoid it (I have some rough memories of mullets and neon spandex from the 80s… ) But then a pair of neon yellow jeans called to me. You know the call, the one you can [...]

By Ann of Holier than Now I’m always looking for an excuse to highlight the classic denim jacket – I think it’s gotten a bad rap in the past, but I’m personally always finding new ways to wear mine! New York’s Fashion Week gave me the courage to add this old school basic to the [...]

By Ann of Holier than Now So … When I was about 11 I had a plain black t-shirt. It was simple and versatile and I liked wearing it with the one pair of jeans I owned. One day, I went to transfer it from washer to dryer and it was just … gone. My mom [...]

I was surprised, therefore, to come out of a “nothing to [...]

By Ann of Holier than Now The Pre-Fall Collections are always a great source of inspiration in the midst of Winter – and unlike the core Fall or Spring collections, the timing means you can translate your favorite looks for today’s weather. With Pre-Fall, there’s no struggling to translate that pastel chiffon floral dress you’re craving [...]

By Ann of Holier than Now Do you remember when this fresh purple burst on the scene as a “trend” color? I think it had something to do with Michelle Obama; it’s definitely a modern royal shade. Seems it was more than a passing fad though, as evidenced by these street style sightings. When [...]

By Ann of Holier than Now I don’t know about you guys, but winter makes me LAZY when it comes to getting dressed. Layering becomes a weather-related chore rather than an inspiring way of putting together clothes, and never mind arm parties and necklace gatherings … I can barely get my coat on over my sweaters and vests.

By Ann of Holier than Now In this last week of 2011, what better to do than sit down in front of the old crystal ball (they make flat ones now, with web browsers installed) and take a playful look at what you might be loving this coming year! And with all those holiday gift [...]

By Ann of Holier than Now To be honest, I was never a big fan of the boyfriend jean. For me, the question was: why move away from a flattering silhouette to something that did nothing for my body? But now that the shape and size is being pushed a step further to an almost hip-hop influenced [...]

By Ann of Holier than Now Remember a while back when the Zara gold jeans were making the rounds? It’s perhaps a bit surprising that the (gold) rush for that item didn’t spark a wave of great metallic denim, but the truth is the perfect premium denim with metallic sheen is hard to come by. In considering whether [...]
