Brownsville Girl

When people peak into my closet I usually get a response of something resembling "Wow, you wear a lot of color!" and, in fact, I do. However, the color brown is not very well represented in my wardrobe because I tend to opt for other classic neutrals including: black, navy, white, and cream.

So, I was inspired by Olivia Palermo's outfit below because of how perfectly she ties multiple shades of brown together.

Next time I search my closet for an all black outfit I am going to try and pull the few brown pieces I have instead and see what happens!

My eyes are also peeled for some brown staples to add to my wardrobe as brown is better represented in my accessories.

What do you think about picking brown over black?



Palermo never fails to prove herself as a champion of fashion.

Spotlight On Mary Kate Steinmiller

Who: Mary Kate Steinmiller

Where: New York City

Job: Teen Vogue Fashion Market Editor

After working as an intern for three years at Teen Vogue, Steinmiller was finally hired as the magazine's fashion market editor. WOW! This hard-worker sure did pay her dues and she is proud of it. Although she loves her job and her busy days (she exclaims that she is "unconditionally devoted" to the magazine's success), she has higher aspirations; she covets the Teen Vogue editor-in-chief position. Watch out Amy Astley because so far, it seems nothing can stop this big dreamer!

I am such a fan of her feminine style. Steinmiller always looks so tasteful and chic as she incorporates color, prints, and diverse fabrics into her go-to-look of a dress or a skirt paired with a basic tee or a crewneck cashmere sweater.

Her personal style in her own words: "I'm quite girly and feminine, but with a twist. Something I've learned working at Teen Vogue is to always add an unexpected element to your wardrobe. For me, it's layering clothing and adding pops of neon or quirlky accessories."







Could this girl get any cooler? Yup. She also has a line of handmade bracelets that are sold at Henri Bendel in New York City and at Fred Segal in Los Angeles. I don't know about you but I am thinking these are my new favorite friendship bracelets. 




I hope you are following suit and dreaming big this weekend!

Get The Look: Leather Pants

I love mixing different pants into my wardrobe in the winter. Right now I'm very much into black leather pants. The best part is that I bet there are more ways to rock leather pants than you think, take a look...

Pair them with fur

Pair them with chunky velcro sneakers

Pair them with jean

Pair them with white for a classic black and white look

Pair them with a work-ready blazer

Lean On Me

I am really digging this huge picture frame effortlessly leaned against the wall. It is the perfect look for a college house or for a small studio or apartment of a couple friends just embarking out on their own in the world. I think it gives the room a bit of an easygoing eclectic look, keeping the space looking relaxed and youthful.

Snow To Sand

My Christmas break has taken me from the snow to the sand. I can't pick which one has been better!







Maybe the sand!

Happy 2012, loves! I hope you have your resolutions ready for a brand new year. May 2012 bring you happiness and prosperity.


Cheers to a new year and another chance for us to get it right.  ~Oprah Winfrey
