Boston Love
The Boston Red Sox were never my home team before, but this week, Boston is everyone’s home team. Sending infinite love and prayers to Boston, and never been so proud to sport some Boston red and white.Please help those affected by the tragedy in Boston by donating here. Important Note: At the office, I almost never leave a shirt untucked. Because this blouse is a very thick silk and is finished with detailing at the bottom hem, I make an exception. As a rule however, 99% of blouses should be tucked in at all times at the office. And, if…

Monday Muse
Bad case of the Mondays? Well not for long, suckers. On days like today when you’re not exactly eager to face the world, try easing into a new work week with a more subdued spring fashion trend: neutrals! While bright prints and bold color combos may be stealing the spotlight this spring, Calvin Klein‘s Spring 2013 Collection as well as other design houses like Tibi (see dress below) offer us amazing inspiration for pairing together neutral pieces and colors. These neutral fashion elements more often serve as the foundation for the addition of a brighter statement piece and rarely get…

Nuclear Nails
Thanks to the fall 2013 runway shows of designers like Costello Tagliapietra, Katie Gallagher, Monique Lhullier and Nicole Miller, metallic nail polish is officially… a thing.

However, I can firmly say that as far as the office goes, metallic nails should be put squarely on the same cubicle crime pile as neon nails. When you’re spitting brilliance at the office, you don’t want your colleagues to be distracted by the…

Wear It Three Ways: Take Three – Casual Friday!
The third and final installment of this week’s Wear It Three Ways series is devoted to the most sacred workday of all: CASUAL FRIDAY. Cha. Ching. As you’ve seen, this blazer seamlessly transitions from a more formal, conservative ensemble to a spring or summer Casual Friday look. And, while this silk tank and capri combo picks up on the huge mixed print trend this spring, restricting the combination to two prints with the same color duo tones it down a bit for the office. But as always, it’s up to you to decide what’s most appropriate for your specific work…

Day to Night: Bewitched by a Blazer
Don’t let this blazer fool you. Underneath this striking little polka dot number is a black dress that is ready and raring to go for cocktails (yet still long enough for the office). Once 5 o’clock rolls around, just swap it out with a scarf and a clutch and you’re good to go. Who knew this jacket was hiding a saucy little v-back dress? Well played, blazer. Well played.P.S. New York, sorry for cheating on you during this shoot, but how was I supposed to know that San Francisco was some kind of magical flower-laden springtime paradise in late February? Jacket:…
