By now you’ve all come to know ESD’s Monday post maven, Ann from Holier Than Now, but she does a pretty good job of staying behind the lens. I’ve been able to spend some time with her during NYFW, and not surprisingly, she can really rock a pair of jeans. I absolutely love her outfit [...]

Another IFBcon has come and gone, and wasn’t this one a thrill? I had an absolutely amazing time meeting bloggers, social media personalities, (Hello, @DKNY?!) and all sorts of industry professionals. I ran around in 4.5″ heels all day, sporting my favorite MiH velvet Marrakesh Kick Flares and a structured white blazer. It was an [...]

In my downtown wanderings, as I comb the streets for cool denim style to share with you, there’s something I’ve noticed. There is never not someone stylish near the intersection of Grand and Crosby Street. Maybe it’s because there’s a great little deli on the corner, maybe it’s becuase Saturday’s Surf is just up the [...]

If you ask me, there are few colors more timelessly chic than navy. (To this point I will argue that black is not really a color.) It’s grounded, sleek, sophisticated and seasonless. Washed-out navy shorts in summer look as right as a wool coat in such a deep hue it’s nearly midnight. I spotted this [...]

When I was living in Seattle, coats were not really a big part of my wardrobe. As fashionable as I thought myself to be, I wore all-weather anoraks just like everyone else. (Don’t look at me like that, we don’t carry umbrellas!) Now that I’ve settled in in the Northeast, having a selection of jackets [...]

I am happy to say that I can greet you all this morning from the comfort of my desk back in New York City. I had a wonderful vacation in Seattle and Sun Valley, but by the time I boarded my flight to the East Coast, I was so ready to be back. Little did [...]

Hello again from the wilds of Idaho, ESD readers! I’m having a simply divine vacation with family and friends, relaxing, eating and skiing. Seriously, that’s all I’m doing. Oh, and venturing into town for some people watching. Yesterday I had a late breakfast with my girlfriends at our favorite local coffee shop and snapped some [...]

Remember a few years ago when the whole fashion world was falling all over themselves for Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen’s whole bobo bag-lady chic thing? I do, I loved it. I wanted to be a waify little blond and swath myself in oodles of oversized layers and wear giant sunglasses and be able to [...]

Though I’ve come to revere jeans as sort of the end-all-be-all of pants, every girl needs a little diversity in their waist-down wardrobe. As I addressed in this post a few months ago, I’m newly intrigued by corduroy pants. They’ve had a major resurgence of late, and in so many different ways! New cuts, new [...]

There’s something happening on the streets. Blame it on the economy, blame it on the government, or maybe just blame it on fashion designers: women are toughening up this season. Fabrics and styles once reserved for the military, for eccentrics and for motorcyle-riding babes – are on the shopping lists of even the most unadventurous [...]

You know those mornings when you wake up, stand in front of your closet and then just, like, frown? I can’t tell you how many times I’ve picked up a sleeve or a hem, looked at it, sighed loudly and wished my Fairy Wardrobe Mother would poof into my closet and dress me fabulously in [...]

Yesterday’s post was all about punching up one of my favorite classic denim pairings – jeans and a sweater. However, if you’re in New York City right now, it sort of feels like sweater weather may never come! We’re in the midst of a warm, sun-drenched Indian Summer. Temperatures hit record highs this weekend (mid-80s!) [...]
