I am kind of a snob when it comes to brands in fashion. I am learning to love other brands I am not familiar with, but there is just something to be said about brands that have been around for a long time and do a great job with their designs and fits. I am going to feature different brands on my blog to both educate you and myself on what is out there. Today, I want to tell you about a brand called Nic + Zoe that I absolutely love the designs and the fit. I don’t feel like this brand gets the appreciation that it deserves in the Memphis fashion scene. You may already know this brand well or this might be the first you…
To me, Zara is always on point and a step ahead of the rest of fashion retailers. They started showing their pre-fall in mid-July! We are usually sick of summer clothing by this point and want to see something new and different. The best kind of pre-fall items are the ones that still feel like summer but have fall colors. The City Lights Pre-Fall 2017 from Zara is just that. Of course not all the pieces are summer worthy but you can find enough pieces to create a new transitional wardrobe. My last post was on the Fall 2017 Pantone Colors of the season and they are all represented here. For the first time the Pantone Institute showed the seasonal colors for London Fashion Week.…
I have been wanting to talk about my favorite clothing item; blazers. The problem is, there are so many great jacket options other than blazers that I could not leave them out. The military or utility jacket, the bomber and the moto or motorcycle jacket are the trends for this fall/winter season. You will find options in one of these styles at almost any retailer. The easy military or utility jacket. Originally this was found in green and now you can find it in camo and lots of other colors. The ultimate color to buy is the green because of it’s versatility. Not only is this jacket perfect for spring but makes a great layering piece for the fall. This jacket is fun to throw…
Fall is my favorite time of year and I love to be bundled up in fall clothing. A fall wardrobe can have so much more depth than in the hot summer when all you want to wear is pretty much nothing! The things that bring depth to our outfits are the layering pieces like sweaters, jackets, scarves and boots! There are some essentials that I feel everyone needs in their wardrobe for the fall season. With the crazy Memphis weather you never really know what you will need and when you will need it. It is just best to be prepared. Some of the items I chose can be used as layering pieces. The greatest thing about layering is that you can take a layer off…

One of the most challenging things about changing seasons is knowing what to wear! Your summer clothing has you jaded and it is still too hot to wear fall clothing. So, the daunting question: What do I wear when the seasons start to change!? I get this question A LOT, so I’m going to give you some recommendations on what I think is the best solution to this never ending dilemma. First, go through your fall wardrobe and see what is (1.) still in style, (2.) in good condition and (3.) has been worn in the last year or two. Focus on lighter weight materials in colors more suited for fall. Once you have these items you can decide on some new items you want…
