I love the artistry of fashion. I love quality and details; colors and shapes. More importantly, I love the power fashion gives us to convey who we are and how we feel at any moment. My style is classic, built slowly through vintage and classic pieces. My staples are rooted in the 40s and 50s: foulards, twin sets, pearls, and anything that makes me feel feminine.

Today, I leave you with a very short post. This outfit was inspired by a 20s beach look of wide pants, loose, side-swept hair, and a thick, nautical sweater. It’s relaxed and comfortable enough for t...

[No] Ugly Ducklings

I love the versatility of scarves, and there’s no need to limit their use to colder weather. Obviously, instead of wearing them to keep you warm, during spring and summer, you can switch to wearing i...

Firecracker

Vibrant colors have a way to energize me, so I gravitate towards them whenever I’m tired or under the weather. I didn’t take any pictures of the dress by itself, but it has shoulder straps, so that’s...
