The Fashionista Lab

This outfit is an unexpected study in contrasts: I’m WILD about this dress. The shoes however, I’m pretty lukewarm about. I love how they look – and I worked hard to get them – but I’ve never loved how they look on me – or with any of the things I own. I think their [...]

Mixing prints is something you can always do on your own, but I love it even more when it all happens in one piece. Hope you had an excellent St. Paddy’s day. I’ve had a rough couple of weeks and can’t wait to head to a friend’s bachelorette party in D.C. this weekend (cherry blossom [...]

It’s hard to tell, but the dress has sequins all over so combined with a sparkly necklace it was a very shiny ensemble. I actually wore this outfit on my birthday a couple of months ago (just never posted until now), because I figured if I were ever going to get away with so much daytime [...]

I love it when, over time, I amass several items of the same color in my closet. I currently have my eye on a blazer at Zara (in turquoise) that I think would go great with this skirt! PS, looking for Academy Awards red carpet coverage? Head over to my Facebook page! But not till [...]

So many times when I get dressed, I really only care about the top half of my outfit. Especially when I pile on the jewelry, that’s where all the fun is! So, yeah, pardon the gratuitous detail shots. I pre-ordered this Lele Sadoughi jewelry several months ago and it finally arrived last week, so I’m [...]

Isn’t it funny how we all have colors we gravitate towards to? A photo shoot I did last weekend (more on that, later) made me realize how much navy I wear. And then with this outfit, I pulled that top from the depths of my closet, and realized I had a cardigan that went perfectly [...]

A note about this outfit, and January in general: The next several outfit posts will introduce a lot of new items. Between finally having a paycheck and the Black Friday/Cyber Monday/after-Christmas sales, December was kind of one huge shopping spree. That was okay. After a year and a half of frugality, getting tired of my [...]

Oh hello! Remember me? I used to blog here. Between ramping up at a new job (which I love, by the way) attending holiday parties, shopping for gifts, and spending quality time with loved ones, my little fashion laboratory fell by the wayside. But I have been taking tons of photos! Oh, there are so [...]

First I would just like to say, SAN FRANCISCO FINALLY HAS A TARGET. Yup. Until a week ago (October 10th) San Francisco had no Target. So I’m more excited for this Neiman Marcus/CFDA/Target collaboration than I have been for any previous collabs. And after seeing the items that will go on sale, I’m downright estatic. [...]
