We are in the beginning stages of planning a Violetville Pop-Up Shop! For those unfamiliar, a Pop-Up Shop is a temporary in-person retail shop set up just for a few months. Since I love to tra...
Those of you whove seen or met me in person know that Im typically dressed like an elaborate technicolor production - something like the Wizard of Oz crossed with American Apparel (the latter part on...
Paris Fashion Week is well under way, and the first thing Ive noticed that Im *super* excited about is a trend towards electric blue. This is one of my all-time favorite colors - its eye-catching and...
New York Fashion Week Fall 2011 ends tomorrow, and I have enjoyed watching the designs that have walked down the runway. The big trends I noticed were layering, 1970s flavor, pops of color, and preci...

Im cold and sick and its seven degrees and snowing. Agh! I love snowmen and sweaters but COME ON! Im starving for sunlight and t-shirts. This is why Marc by Marc Jacobs Spring 2011 campaign is so app...
I cant stop listening to Marianne Faithfulls As Tears Go By (1965.) Shes so sweet and mod - an English rose. And then came Mick Jagger. By his side, she defined the late 60s Swinging London look. She...
I love the color camel. When I see the shade, I immediately think of chic Burberry trench coats and the winter coats of Park Avenue ladies. Camel instantly creates an air of sophistication. It also g...
This time three days ago I was biking around Austin in a tank top. Today, there are snow drifts to the top of the 6-foot fence here in the Midwest. So, instead of shoveling, I decided to go play... T...
Milwaukee is on lockdown for a blizzard that is supposed to hit any minute. Looking at the menacing snowfall out the window, all I can do is shiver. But, looking at winter style always makes me feel ...
I just saw a picture of Ali MacGraw in a turban and I cant get the image out of my mind. The look is so gorgeous and bohemian. Very Studio 54. I also keep seeing the hat on street style blogs. This l...
The nominations for the 83rd Academy Awards were announced this morning, and I was so excited to hear that I Am Love is up for Best Costume Design. The film, starring Tilda Swinton, is gorgeous and d...
Recently, as I scanned the one hundred or so blogs I follow each day, I was struck by a photo posted by The Sartorialist. The picture shows a Florentian young woman sitting in a full suit and tie acc...
I love movies, but I hate award shows. Theyre way too long. However, I love the red carpet portion of the events and seeing all the dresses. Last night the 68th Annual Golden Globe Awards aired and I...
I have a weird relationship with maxi skirts. I wore them all the time in high school to hide my legs (ahhh...teenage insecurity.) Ive since embraced my gams but I havent worn maxis in a decade feari...
It started with a $4 tank top. I was at Urban Outfitters this summer looking for cheap tees. I dug out the aforementioned shirt from the sale rack and it was definitely in my price range. But, it was...
Ive been in purse limbo for awhile now. Im sick of all the bags I own and nothing new (in my price range) has caught my eye. So, Ive been carrying around a $5 canvas tote from J.Crew. I thought it wa...
The early 1990s are back in a major way. A few weeks ago, I went into Urban Outfitters and thought I was walking into my older sisters closet circa 1991. I saw cropped sweaters, stirrup pants, color ...
When I think of New Years Eve, I think of sequins. It makes sense. Party dresses this time of year always feature the sparkly disks, disco balls and twinkle lights are plentiful, and fireworks offer ...
When my family lived in Philadelphia in the late 80s, we had a babysitter named Lynn. She was super cool with an East Coat prep style and a large selection of Nintendo games. A few years later, after...
The ornaments are on the tree, the presents are wrapped, and the twinkle lights are shining. This all means one thing: its almost Christmas! Im bursting with excitement! My sister is flying home so m...
While Milwaukee hasnt been hit with much snow, the rest of the Midwest is covered. My sister in Minnesota told me she can stand as tall as the bus stop sign courtesy of a monster snow pile. Im kind o...
Red and green seem to be the official colors of the holiday season. I love these hues and they always make me feel festive. But, I do love something different from the usual, like white for winter. I...
Im usually a gold chain kind of girl. But in the winter, I suddenly become crazy for all things sparkly. Bring on the rhinestones, gems, and jewels! They remind me of the glitter of the snow and the ...
