Dressing Professionally

In my full-time, non-fashion related job, I travel and speak to large groups of people frequently.

Kooba Millie North/South Shoulder Bag

The Kooba Millie North/South Shoulder Bag might just be my new favourite bag.  This bag will tuck ever so well under your arm as you run around town running errands.

USA Mall Shopping

Iam not naive, I know I’m not old.  But I am, like many women my age, caught in an in-between time.  What do I mean? I am no longer in my early 20′s, but not yet 30 — I’m in that awkward late-20′s phase.  Like a tween who’s not a girl, not yet a woman.  [...]

Cargo Leggings

After breaking up with Gwyneth Paltrow’s Goop last month due to creative differences, my bestie decided to forward GP’s latest installment to me anyway. Shockingly, Gwyneth is captured parading in extremely unflattering cargo leggings.  I mean really, skin tight cargo pants?  Like seriously?
