The Skirt of the Summer

Hello Tuesday!

I don’t know about you but I sure could use a do over from yesterday. Between a not sleeping Theo Sunday night and growing a human it was a very unproductive Monday for me.  So today...I do all the things.

Glamour, Huff Post, The Cut, even The Zoe Report have made pretty clear that the leopard midi is the skirt of the summer I thought it would be a perfect time to do “Skirts” for the Dior Dictionary Word this week.  

I always think how interesting it is to look at how most people looked at fashion back in 1954 when Dior wrote this book. I feel fashion has become far more relaxed and while I usually don’t agree with that, this time I really don’t agree with how strict this sounds when wearing a skirt. If you love a skirt and feel good in it then girl, wear it!  

One thing that I just love that Dior says is that “Like everything is fashion your clothes must always give you the feeling that they are easy to wear.”  I think this is the big take away here and that is something that will never get outdated. You have to feel good in what you’re wearing and it should feel effortless. While it’s very true this skirt won’t fit me much longer it was the perfect thing to wear while running errands with MK. 

I hope you all have a fantastic Tuesday thats productive, short, and ends with a glass of vino.  

White Out

Hello again, Friends!

Now that I don’t have crippling “morning” but all day sickness, extreme exhaustion, not on vacation or suffering from a completely blinding sinus infection...I’m back. It’s been a tough couple of months but I’m feeling slightly refreshed and ready for our upcoming summer. 

Speaking of summer because it (officially) comes very soon I thought this was the perfect time to focus on this Dior Dictionary Word which is White! But where to start on this one? Even though Dior doesn’t touch on this I will. Call me old fashioned but I stick to the rules of white that “The Greats” created. I wear it after Memorial Day and put it away after Labor Day (excluding winter white of course). In a time of fashion where anything goes and everyone needing to be comfortable at all moments, I feel this “rule” is sacred. Plus, it makes wearing it that much more special.  

I so agree that white not only matches everything but also gives an impression of good grooming and being well dressed.

For my white look, I did my own take on a look from Emily in “A Simple Favor”. While she may have been the villain (hey I’ve always had a soft spot for the villains) , her style was much to emulate. Along for her love of a perfect martini (sigh...). Don’t think I didn’t want to run out and buy a stylish cane to go with this look. But that might have been a bit much even for me. But she sure did make an amazing case for menswear. I wanted to run out and buy all the suits!

I think when it comes to white every woman should have a crisp white suit in their wardrobe. There’s no way to look more chic in a flash. Shirt underneath optional.

Have a great Monday!

Leopard Timelessness

Hello Friends!

To say we’ve been busy would be a huge understatement! Between our photo biz and Theo Shane I’ve had zero time to do anything. And May is only shaping up to be even busier. But it’s my Birthday Month so that’s exciting.

*pours glass of champs*

I’m back this Monday with The Dior Fashion Word of the week!  

Now obviously in this case Dior is talking about actual fur. Which for me I’m only a faux fur girl. But one thing is absolutely for sure about this amazing print is that it’s not going anywhere.

Leopard is hands down my favorite print. It’s versatile and always stylish. I have a lot of it in my closet so it was a little hard as to which to feature but I thought my leopard blazer was perfect. Since I’m always on the go and somethings need to grab an outfit and run a blazer can always save the day.

This was on a shoot and I always like to look out together when I’m working even if I have to be moving a lot or holding Theo, so this was the perfect piece to add to the look. The best part about leopard is that it goes with just about everything!

Enjoy the final days of April!
