Pattern Mixing: a Guide

Mixing of unexpected patterns has become a popular fashion trend, and one I embrace fully. It’s a great way to show your personality, and give a new life to some pieces collecting dust in your wardrobe. But how does one create a great mix of prints without looking as though she dressed in the dark?…

Ask Allie: Wearing Sleeves

Is there an age when older women should NOT wear sleeveless/short sleeves?? I am almost 60 and I feel when I wear sleeveless tops, people see my jiggley arms and sagginess. Doesn’t that detract from the rest of me? It’s hard to find elbow length tops/tees/dresses that are stylish. I don’t want to look like…

Summer Sartorial Rules for Corporate America

These days it can be confusing when trying to dress for the office. With retailers showing “secretary” dresses that hardly cover one’s behind, painted-on pants paired with blazers, and cleavage-baring blouses with suits, you wonder what actually is acceptable these days. Add to this a sweltering hot summer, and one could easily stray in the…

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale: What I’m Loving

Oh Nordstrom, I just can’t quit you! Great selection, phenomenal customer service, and awesome deals such as your Anniversary Sale!

Ask Allie: All About Undergarments

I really like how you look in the Lands End green dress, but it looks skimmy and I’m wondering if you have some undergarment suggestions. I usually have to wear some kind of bike shorts type thing (ah, chafing!) under dresses and skirts. However, the kinds I have often have the subsequent problem of waistband…

Music Festival Recap: Forecastle

While I have attended Bonnaroo several times, I had yet to attend a city-based music festival like Forecastle. Unlike Bonnaroo where you camp on the same grounds as the music festival, you have to stay offsite with Forecastle. We chose to stay at The Galt House, which was less than a half mile from the…
