What To Wear Now: Playing With Volume
Oversize pieces and loose styles have been on-trend for a while now, and there is something to be said for the sheer comfort of clothing that doesn’t restrict movement, or potentially highlight any bits that you wish would stay in the background. Additionally lots of flowing fabric always lends some statement-making drama to a look.
However, it’s not always that easy to work this trend without looking shapeless, sloppy, overly casual, older or larger than you actually are. That said, you don’t need to be a six foot tall glamazon or incredibly slender to make this trend work for you. Let me show you how:
Your Beauty Wish Granted: Amazing Lash Studio Lincoln Park
One of the top beauty wishes I hear from many women is to wake up in the morning with thick long lashes and not have to worry about applying (the usual) coat after coat of mascara before walking out the door. Ladies, Amazing Lash Studio may be your dream come true. I tried these lashes …
A Perfect Pair: The White Shirt & Midi Skirt
No longer into shorts? I get it. Bermudas are too long and I no longer feel comfortable in shorts. But it’s summer, and I want to look great and stay cool at the same time.

If you get too hot in long sleeves (even rolled up) then try a short-sleeve or sleeveless version. Add your favorite pointy-toe flats, sandals or even sneakers and you are off and running. For the entire day.
The Way To Go High Low: Ruffles For Grown Ups
When it comes to adding a bit of femininity to an outfit, nothing has the same impact quite like ruffles. Who knew that the scrunching of fabric could have such affect on a single piece? And it appears 2016 is the year of ruffles.
How Could Bill Cunningham Die? I Thought He Was Immortal.
Fashion really is dead in New York. While fashion industry insiders continue to debate the slow death knell of New York Fashion Week – now it is officially over for me. I was and am still in total shock photographer Bill Cunningham passed away this past Saturday. OK, he was 87 but I honestly thought he was immortal and would live forever. In case you don’t know who he was, Mr. Cunningham was the original street style photographer in New York City. This stick figure of a man rode around the streets of NYC on a bike in his trademark French blue jacket and khakis with his 35-millimeter camera draped around his neck where he observed and chronicled street fashion and ever changing trends for nearly 40 years for The New York Times.
