May the Spandex Be With You
If you’re a geek and a girl, then hopefully by now you have heard of the Black Milk Clothing company. Known for their spandex pieces and the stare worthy patterns that they put on them (bones or muscles, anyone?), Black Milk has started to change the way women wear spandex. Although they have been around for a few years now, what really put them on the map in my opinion was when they created their signature R2-D2 and C-3PO swimsuits. Pretty much every female…

Winter Time Tuxedo
Remember my DIY Tuxedo Pants tutorial? So since then, I have actually been on the lookout for a great pair of tuxedo pants hoping that I would find the perfect fitting pair. But to be honest, nothing really impressed me until I saw this pair from Juicy Couture! Appropriate named the “Prince of Wales”, I love that these are a bit boyish, but classy with their slim silhouette, satin trim, and gold zippers. And they are wool blend, which means perfect…

Grandpa Style Retro Vintage
There’s times when I think I should have been a teen in the ’70s – wearing bell bottoms, crazy polyester florals, and shift dresses. Luckily trends get recycled and purchasing vintage pieces are now just a click away. Take for example this cardigan that is the color of my aunt’s old furry shag rug. Even though I used to think mustard was such an “ugly” color when I was a kid, nowadays, it’s more of a nostalgic color than anything.…

Military Lace
Considering I spent my teen years dressing like a wannabe skater/grungy tomboy, you can see why I might have an appreciation for military style clothing, especially when paired with black. I’ve been seeing black and olive greens being paired up together for a while now (for eg, this cool jacket by Zara) and love the mix of something dark, and maybe even gothic, paired with something rugged and miltary-ish. Not only do these olive skinnies remind me of military pants…

What to Wear – Holiday Parties
It’s starting to become “holiday party” season, meaning lots of parties and lots of dressy outfits to plan for! If you’re not going to an ugly sweater party, chances are you will need something fun to wear for your next holiday get together. Although I don’t own much red, this velvet blazer had some amazing studded details and I knew it would be a fun holiday piece to pair with a dress. And not just any dress – a leopard…

Reaching Level 99
You probably know by now that I am big on comfortable clothing. So when I first tried on these Level 99 skinny jeans, I was amazed at how incredibly soft, buttery, and comfortable they were. Level 99 has been known for their amazing skinnies for a while now and these are no exception. Patterned denim is everywhere these days and I love that these are more of a denim on denim print versus a mix of crazy colors. Also, did you…
