I am headed on a 2-week trip to India. I want to be comfortable sightseeing and spending lots of time on trains and planes, but still stylish. Any ideas for a capsule wardrobe for keeping cool, covered up, and stylish? I am glad you are asking this. While many first think of the temperature when…
By This Is Our Jam As it becomes later in March, we’re just SO over winter at this point — and we can only imagine that as a victim of black ice, Allie agrees with us! Doesn’t the universe know that it just needs to warm up and stay spring-like — and that a St….
By Rosana Vollmerhausen A question I often get from clients interviewing me is if I shop only at Saks and Nieman’s. The answer is… no and no. As a personal stylist/shopper, my clients are real people with jobs, families, busy lives and real-world budgets. Living and working in the DC area, even those clients that…

I just bought this chambray blazer from J. Crew but I don’t know what to wear it with so I don’t look like my mom who wears denim blazers all the time. I wore denim blazers last time they were popular and need ideas on how to look new. Thanks! When I started this blog…
By Lexa Lemieux The past several months I have drastically revamped my makeup routine. I had been doing the same things for years. Unfortunately, the same old was not working for my changing face. At 33-years-old, I know I am far from old (my nose stud tends to agree!), but with the appearance of fine…
