Ruffle “it” Up

 » Filed under fashion on November 28, 2006

I found some ruffle tops that aren’t too cutesy. When you’re over 12 years old - there’s always that fine line with ruffles or bows.

The best ruffle set I’ve seen is this Rebecca Taylor milk chocolate silk ruffle camisole. That’s how you do balance femine without being cutesy. Other picks would be this Anthropologie navy one, and for more budget picks…

House Party “it” Hottie

 » Filed under fashion on October 31, 2006

November always strikes the season for the festive party circuit. Mine includes a zillion house parties, and not all of them involve totally dressing up. I like wearing more festive tops with plain, casual bottoms. As a bonus this Banana Republic red jersey top is a good spark of color (and this season’s hot color). Take a big, knubby cable knit scarf and get a stylish and adaptable look like this (right)…

For another totally adaptable option - picture this Banana Republic outfit (left) with a skirt rather than jeans. I have this top in brown and wear it with everything dressy or cas’. The wool blend isn’t itchy, it’s just enough to give it a richer texture than all those t-shirts we live in. And don’t ignore the big bag find hanging on her arm.
