In my opinion, one cannot own too many classic coats! Even in the warm climate of LA, it gets chilly enough to need a few fabulous coats to get us through the colder seasons. Coats also make a big statement without much else needed. They can hide a holiday bulge or make a boring outfit …
A Happy Chevron Printed Halloween
Like many internet phenomena including ironic mustaches, balloons, and cute girls overdressed on bicycles, the chevron print is seemingly here to stay.

Sponsored Review: Vanity Fair® Look Lifted Underwire Bra
Last week I received the box of Vanity Fair® bras and underwear I’d have to wear for an upcoming review and, upon first glance, I quickly shoved them back into the box. I initially didn’t like what I saw and I absolutely will not “push” a product that I’m not in love with. But a …
