Tee Time: Sledge USA

A couple of weeks ago, I was sent this super olive burnout and comfy tee from Sledge USA and I finally got the chance to wear it yesterday.

Sledge USA combines high quality fabric to create chic and luxurious sportwear. Since I love olive tee so bad, I think I need the turquoise one above to make me happier.

Visit www.SledgeUSA.com to see more of the line and to find retailers near you that carries them.

Shoes are Fall Fashion’s Best Friend!

Recently, you might have noticed that I’ve been featuring a lot of shoe post. Well, I noticed. The reason is because in the fall, shoes add the “oomph” to the muted and neutral color palette and sleek and structured shapes of fall pieces. Plus, there are lot more styles and shapes of shoes offered in the colder months than in the warmer months.

Seriously, boots are probably my biggest addiction in the fall and winter, aside from Hot White Chocolate from Starbucks. All the different heights in the height of the heels and shafts are limitless. Now a days, thankfully, boots can be super casual or dressy paired with the right outfit.

Although boots are my drug shoe of choice, sometimes my feet prefer the comfort of flats. Just like boots, there a wide range of flat style shoes. Ballet, oxford, and even flat boots (The best of both worlds).

I could go on and on about shoes for fall, but the more I yap about shoes, the more I’ll buy. FYI, I tend to buy more shoes in the fall and winter. Yeah.

Do you find yourself buying shoes more in certain seasons rather than others? Let me know!

Holiday Party Style Tips w/ Bluefly.com Stylist

Tanesha Smith,  BlueFly.com stylist,  has answered some styling tips for busy, working women to help them this holiday season and I thought they are VERY useful. So, read and remember the following, because I totally agree with them all!

1. What should I have in my closet for holiday parties this season with my friends? For work? With family?

A black sheath dress can be very versatile. By day, you can wear a blazer or cardigan (or be a fashion insider and wear both; see below), and at night, just throw on some sparkly heels. Depending on your office dress code, a sequin mini skirt can operate in the same way.


2. How can I look fashionable when it’s freezing outside?

Nothing says fashion insider more than some deftly layered pieces. Most people put on a top and a bottom and leave it at that. I say release your inner Olsen Twin and layer it up. Stick to thin basics underneath with a statement piece on top to avoid looking too bulky. Starbucks cup sold separately.


3. What are the top five winter items I should purchase this year?

  1. Shearling boots
  2. Cashmere sweater
  3. Something furry… faux or real
  4. An unexpected knit ie: a skirt or chic long johns (yes!)
  5. A shawl collar coat

4. I’m looking for a pair of warm boots that are still fashionable! What do you suggest?

There are tons of shearling and fur lined options at every price point from Burberry and YSL to Stuart Weitzman and Jeffrey Campbell.


5. What are your gift-giving suggestions for this holiday season?

Anything cashmere! Mostly, it comes down to your relationship with the recipient and doing a little investigating. If they’re outdoors a lot, perhaps some leather gloves or a furry hat. If they are in a more conservative office, a cashmere scarf or wrap can help them navigate the ever changing cubicle temp dial.
