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 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 [...]

Rather than my usual process of obsessing over something that’s out of stock or out of reach, I actually found and fell in love with brushed twill jeans and realized I could style them like a real suede pant. Brushed twill [...]
