Saturday Style File: Fall-ing Into Spring featuring Yellow + Purple + Layering

Spring is right around the corner… tomorrow, to be exact. Still, it feels a bit nippy outside, making it all the more difficult to get into what we wish could be truly warm weather.

Yet, with a few injections of color and a bit of strategic layering, it can be done! The key is to pick staples like a bright coat (in this case, a yellow trench), a cute underlayer (a purple silk tank blouse) and a basic, chic v-neck sweater to give you the cozies.

Hope my spring lookbook gives you all some ideas — spring might still be hiding, but that doesn’t mean you have to!

Whimsical Wednesday: The Circus Dress

Spotlight: Animal-Friendly Coats

It can be tough being animal-friendly in the cold, cold urban jungle. Thankfully, this winter was not half as harsh as last year’s… remember that freak snowstorm that tore down power lines and delayed the MTA for days on end?! And we all know the MTA hardly EVER sleeps… as crappy as it is, it […]
