Come on Allie, can a pair of socks really be so badass that you’re going to dedicate an entire post to them? YES. YES THEY CAN. Seriously, yes. I wrote about these socks in this post, but since the temperatures are rising and ankles are started to be bared, more and more are reaching out…

Talbots Spring 2016: My Picks

This spring, they sent me their lookbook and I was… underwhelmed. It felt like a cheap version of the old stereotype of Talbots – twee patterns, overly bright preppy…

Spring Capsule Wardrobes with NIC+ZOE

Nordstrom asked me to share the NIC+ZOE Spring collection and I had no problem saying yes.

Walking the Talk: My Real Life Capsule Wardrobe

When an Item from Your Capsule Wardrobe Dies an Untimely Death

This morning I went to put on my black sweater from my real-life capsule wardrobe and as I slipped my hand into the sleeve my finger caught on a thread. Next thing I knew, the whole side seam of the sweater unraveled and I had a gaping hole armpit to hem. When I wrote about…
