This is a multifaceted post so buckle up. It encompasses some of the new things I bought myself for my birthday which was yesterday (April 18th) and how I’m wearing these things with pieces I already own. Sometimes, I wonder if you are bored of my posting the same Toteme trench coat I bought in […]
I’ve been trying to be more considerate about what I buy lately but I did buy a few things with an eye to the transitional weather and spring events and travel. I don’t wear black except for evening and have been wearing a J.Crew x Marie Marot navy pair of trousers all winter. Since they […]
Everyone is sick of winter right now so how are we going to brighten things up while still wearing winter clothes? How are we also going to transition as the weather warms up? My suggestion is to add something red to give us a little jolt of energy and a pop of color to brighten […]
Elle Fanning has recently toppled Jennifer Lawrence as my new favorite street style outfit inspiration celebrity. Elle has been in New York starring on Broadway in the play Appropriate which has been extended through June so I hope this means we’ll see even more of her fashion looks. Her style is most similar to my […]
You probably already have a black dress to wear for the holidays but so does every other woman. That’s why I am highlighting some other chic options from MATCHES with an emphasis on green. MATCHES has extensive offerings for event dressing no matter where you are celebrating. The first outfit is inspired by the newly […]
I was happy to see statement earrings on the Spring 2024 fashion week runways so I could feel confident that my purchases would still be in style next year. That also means you can feel assured if you want to add a pair or two or four to your wardrobe to update your look. They […]
This is always a quiet time for shopping as I anxiously await fall fashions to arrive in stores and online. The things I’m eyeing, buying, and trying right now need to be able to transition to September and October when it can still be quite hot. It’s now that I start choosing pieces that are […]
While you hunkering down at home this weekend to escape the arctic cold, I recommend shopping for Valentine’s Day. I’ve put together over 50 gifts for women, men, terrible teens, little kids, furry friends, and of course, yourself. One for them, two for me is my motto. Cure your Seasonal Affective Disorder and everyone else’s […]
In honor of Valentine’s Day, I’ve put together some pretty pink pieces to brighten up your day. XOXO, HC Prettiest pink silk-georgette midi dress. There is nothing more romantic than pink Manolo Blahnik embellished satin pumps. Something a little more reasonably priced is this pink suede shoulder bag. I love this pink handmade wool coat […]
If you’re ready for summer and trips to the beach, the new H&M x Lemlem Collection is for you. It’s filled with light and airy pieces and swimsuits to get you started and even a towel with a cute rope carrier. I already placed my order and can’t wait to get the cute striped dresses […]
If I have one piece of advice for you this year, it’s that you better do something for Valentine’s Day. It’s been a hard year for everyone and we could all use a pick me up this month. Obviously those of you with significant others should do something for each other but don’t forget about […]
I know some of you will think this holiday gift guide is too early and others will be excited so you can start shopping now. I’m posting a week earlier than usual because retailers are worried about shipping delays as more people than ever will be shopping online for gifts this year. Many friends and […]
It’s always around the end of July that I start to get sick of my colorful summer clothes and begin to reach for neutrals. It’s also around this time that I try to take advantage of the final days of sale season. There are still a a lot of good pieces left this year. I’ve […]
I had originally planned a post on pearl jewelry for this week since pearls are the birthstone for the month of June. Even though my birthstone is diamond, I prefer the luminosity of pearls. The post didn’t seem as relevant after the events of this week until I came across a feature on 55 Black-Owned […]
Just when I had decided that my spring and summer wardrobe would consist exclusively of neutrals, navy, and black, the new Emma movie comes out and makes me want to wear pretty pastry colored pastels. I suppose I could add in a few pieces or wear them on my Southern trips or I could just […]
I had planned to post my Mother’s Day Gift Guide last week but my time in Charleston got away from me. But don’t worry, you still have time to shop for the wonderful women in your life. Mother’s Day falls on Sunday, May 12th which gives you three weeks to pick out the perfect presents. […]
It’s not quite warm enough for spring clothes in New York yet but the weather is sure to be gorgeous in Charleston when I travel down south for my birthday in April. Funny enough, the new Halsbrook catalog was also photographed in Charleston. The great patterns and colors of their spring fashions look perfectly at […]
