Personal Style: Sophisticated Stripes

The other day, I was interviewed for a local TV segment on fashion. This is what I threw on:

Black leggings and boots, silky striped tank, white button down (left open), tuxedo blazer, silk scarf, rings.

Personal Style: Miscellaneous

Here is a collection of a few looks I've put together over the last month but have not yet posted: ENJOY!

Personal Style: What To Do With Pleather Pants??

I can't afford leather right now, so I wear pleather as the alternative. But ever wonder what exactly to do with pleather pants? Pleather pants make for great costumes (I've used mine as part of a penguin, super hero and oil spill ensemble) but they can also be wearable for the everyday, if done right. Here are a few ways of incorporating these leggings into an outfit while avoiding them coming off as trashy!

Wear Your Heart On Your Sleeve

Don't know what to wear for Valentine's Day? Whether spending a night in with the girls or going out with your boy (personally, I'm going out with my roommates), here are some ideas for the perfect V-Day outfit!

1. flirty and fun

2. boho: peace, love and happiness

3. sexy and sophisticated

Happy Valentine's Day!!

Personal Style: Stand Out In Black

Don't shy away from fashion! Be creative, playful and take risks when dressing yourself. The 'color' black is fun and sophisticated and definitely a good place to start when mixing prints, patterns and textures. Here I am creating a look with my textured tights that I've had for 2 years and never worn--I love how they help add interest to a potentially boring outfit!

Personal Style: All Kinds Of Prints

Feeling extra ambitious the other day...so I thought I'd take a chance on prints! Kind of excited about what I put together--I'm loving the thigh-highs, but I think a pair in black or gray could be a little more wearable for the everyday!

Personal Style: Staying Neutral

I definitely love neutrals...in fact I usually gravitate towards them. But I find other ways to keep my outfits interesting by adding fun textures, patterns and sometimes with a POP of color.

By the way, I am head-over-heels for this hat...and because I helped make it--sort of (cutting strips of fur and balling up yarn), I feel an extra special connection! This hat is designed by Lily Raskind of Sunshine and Shadow and FYI she is absolutely amazing. I interned for her in the Summer of 2009 and couldn't be more thankful for the experience!

Personal Style: A Touch Of Spring

It was gorgeous out today!! Still freezing cold...but gorgeous nonetheless! Today's look was inspired by the sun and the feeling that spring is just around the corner (the groundhog didn't see his shadow which predicts an early spring...YAY, fingers crossed).

Personal Style: Head Cold

Feeling the cold today...thought I'd keep my head warm!

Liked the oversized light pink long sleeve, but wasn't worth the hassle while heading to campus...so, quick outfit change right before running out the door!

P.S. As if you haven't already noticed, I have no modeling skills! I know I look like an animal stalking its pray in this photo...but this is the best image I have of the whole outfit! Hope you are getting at least some entertainment out of my pictures, be it my awkward poses, bathroom setting or (with any luck) my style.

Personal Style: Green And Leopard

So kind of embarrassing that I stood in front of the mirror in our bathroom (ignore the toilet in the background) snapping these photos of myself on my camera phone nonetheless...but I do want to start sharing my personal style with you guys more!! Sorry for the poor quality image, however, I hope you enjoy what I put together!
