Ask Allie: When Your Wardrobe Classics Become Passe

Allie, I’m just curious, I notice that in your previous postings, you had on Ann Taylor pieces that were on sale some time ago and yet I don’t see you wearing them in current times. What do you do with those styles that no longer seem to fit the current trend? I ask because I…

Learning from Sartorial Mistakes
Fashion Advice

Learning from Sartorial Mistakes

This weekend I went to LOFT to return this: Great color, but not a good silhouette for me. I decided upon entering the store that I didn’t need anything, I wouldn’t try anything on, I wouldn’t even skim the displays, I would just return the skirt and leave. And then I saw this: Great print,…

Treat Yo Self on Valentine’s Day

Valentine’s Day is usually about a significant other, but I see it as a day of love. Paper valentines to classmates, take the time to tell your family members how much you love them, have a good time with your favorite person or people… and love the most important person of all – yourself. A…

A J. Crew Bedtime Story

Yesterday I got the mail from the box while we were walking in the house after dinner. Emerson asked to see the mail, and got super excited when she saw the J. Crew catalog. She sat down on the couch and began to flip through it, completely ignoring any other magazine or catalog. At bedtime,…

A Minty Miss – My Experience with StyleMint and JewelMint

If you follow fashion and beauty bloggers, I’m sure you have heard of JewelMint, StyleMint, and ShoeMint. These are celebrity-sponsored sites that offer a monthly “showroom” of pieces based upon your personal style. You start by filling out a survey of your personal style – are you more Zara or J. Crew? If you’re getting…

Review – DUO Boots

In my last post about DUO boots, I discussed my previous experiences with this company that offers wide calf boots in sizes up to 50 centimeters in diameter.

How to Not Hate Fashion (AKA On Being a Fashion Connoisseur )

I love wine, but I don’t know a lot about it. I once subscribed to Food and Wine magazine to educate myself better, but got overwhelmed. I go to the store, look for a bottle between $9 – $15, and often decide based upon the look of the label. I love coffee, but I don’t…

Before I was a Fashion Blogger

I shared this link on Twitter and it brought up many memories of old music, old memories, and old fashion. I remembered going to a Creed concert in the ’90s (I KNOW!), wearing overalls and a bandanna over my two pigtails (double I KNOW!). It made me start to think about my personal style pre-blog…

Ask Allie: All About Hair

Hi Allie, I am a regular reader of your blog. My hair is very similar to yours in texture and I love the way you do your hair. I love wearing my hair straight but I now live in a very humid part of India. Could you tell me if Elnett would work to keep…
