Looking at Lulu's

While Mother Nature makes up her mind as to whether it's summer or fall, I'm finding plenty of cold weather inspiration in Lulu's "Down the Mountain" lookbook. Despite the fact that it's much hotter during the fall than during the summer where I live, I can still daydream about wearing Nordic knits, faux fur cossack hats, circle scarves, and maxi dresses. Now all I need is a cabin in the woods

Mulberry for Target - A Reluctant Review

After looking forward to the Mulberry for Target release for a few weeks, I must admit that I'm slightly disappointed in the collection as a whole. Perhaps it began with my failed attempt at buying the large denim satchel during the Gilt Groupe sale, or when I glimpsed the hot pink leopard satchel in a print ad and lamented its somewhat cheap-looking fabrication. After browsing the collection

Blogger on the Rise - A Buffalo Stance

As a fashion blogger, my inspiration can come from just about anywhere. Naturally, other fashion bloggers catch my attention, especially when they mix vintage and cheap chic pieces with effortless panache. When I discovered Kaitlin Isabella's blog, I knew I'd be a repeat visitor. Her style truly spoke to me. Perhaps it was her endlessly long legs, her knack for wearing cool hats, her chic boot

In the Land of Leopards

I have a friend who occasionally asks me for fashion advice via text messages when she's out shopping. One evening she sent me a photo of some leopard print ankle boots, and inquired, "is leopard in style?" I responded without hesitation, "Leopard prints are classic. They never go out of style.

Fall On the Horizon

This edition of Store Window Style incorporates what I enjoy most about the onset of fall: inspiration to dress in cozy knits and layers, play with an amalgamation of sumptuous textures, and the richer, deeper hues typically associated with fall. While my geographic area here in coastal California boasts warm weather more often than not, it's still difficult to shop for faux fur vests, knit

The Miss Selfridge Mix

Amongst the many online retail sites that I browse on a regular basis for style inspiration is British high street brand Miss Selfridge. Fortunately, I've experienced shopping in their brick and mortar stores during trips to England and Scotland, although it's not even necessary since they ship to the U.S. While I easily do more browsing than buying when it comes to my online activity, it's

It's Leopard Love

I rarely meet an animal print that I don't find myself drawn to. Leopard prints in particular are my ultimate weakness, especially when it comes to footwear. Having ogled many a blogger wearing the vertiginous Lita boots by Jeffrey Campbell, I knew I wanted to put them on my feet, however, they're offered in so many colorways that I found myself indecisive for weeks. I also hesitated to buy them
