My Summer Style Guide- How to Dress for a Festival

I asked my lovely guest writers to share what they would/are wearing to a summer festival. This week I am a very lucky girl and I’m heading down to Portland Maine to see the Gentlemen of the Road festival featuring Mumford and Sons. I couldn’t be more jazzed, especially to wear this dress to the festival. I scored this baby at a charming vintage shop. To me it is perfect festival...

Summer Book Reviews: Fab Fems

Sam Wasson’s Fifth Avenue, 5 A.M. “Holly was a high-class call girl, an American geisha. To her, a life without love was an occupational necessity. Try to cage her and she’d fly away…”  Oh Miss Holly Golightly! That opening scene of Breakfast at Tiffany’s mesmerizes you: the way she gets out of the taxi so elegent even in a long tight gown, and how she...

My Summer Style Guide- How to Dress for a Campfire

I’m a down home country girl and living in the country means lots of summer campfires. I love campfires; the food, the friends, the drinks and cozy environment. And even those these events take place mostly in the dark it’s hard to decide what to wear. My suggestion would firstly be to wear your hair back so you don’t accidentally lose your locks. Also, bring a sweater in case...

Summer Book Reviews: Fab Fems

Truman Capote’s Breakfast at Tiffany’s “For all her chic thinness, she had an almost breakfast-cereal air of health, a soap and lemon cleanness, a rough pink darkening in the cheeks.”  I know you’ve almost all seen the fabulous movie adaptation of this novella, but I’m betting not a terribly large number of people have read the book. I am here to encourage...

My Summer Style Guide- How to Dress for a Wedding

Our 4th wedding anniversary is coming up this week so I’ve had wedding attire on my mind. I love going to weddings, I think they are just a feast for the eyes: the cake, the dress, the flowers and all the guests. But dressing for a wedding can be so stressful; my tip is to read the invitation carefully or just ask the couple. There is nothing worse than being way under dressed for a...

Mindy Kaling’s Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? (And Other Concerns) “Forgive me, but being a guy is so easy. A little Kiehl’s, a little Bumble and Bumble, a peacoat, and Chuck Taylors and you’re hot.”  We (mostly) all know and love Mindy as her character Kelley on The Office (US), but in her book you can get to know the real Mindy through a series of shorts...

My Summer Style Guide- How to Stay Safe

I know what you are thinking, it’s sweltering out and you’ve got a long sleeve shirt on? I get this a lot, people asking me why on some of the hottest days of the year I am still wearing a cardi. Well the answer is simple, Sun Protection. I have what you call alabaster skin, or what hubster calls ghostly (charming, eh?). I do put on sun screen everyday too and try to re apply at...

Menswear Monday

First, is there anything nicer than crisp new jeans? They look so good and fresh. Second, this is a perfect example of how you need to select colors that compliment your skin tone. Hubster has a lot of pink in his complexion, so wearing red only emphasis it. But here he chose to wear burgundy because it’s in the same family as red so you get a similar feel, but it’s darker and...

Noah and the Whale “Five Years Time”- I know this song is a few years old so you might all know it by now. But I have to say that this song has...

My Summer Style Guide- How to Dress for the Beach

Everybody loves the beach, but there is nothing more uncomfortable than being over dressed at the beach. If you go to the beach with a pile of accessories and restrictive clothing you are going to end up a hot sweaty mess. Choose breezy fabrics and wear a hair piece for your accessories. Plus don’t forget to not pile on the makeup because it’s just going to come running down your...

Sometimes in the summer when it’s hot outside you just need to dress like a kid. Well, a very well coordinated kid. This outfit is well put together, the shorts are a good length and the shirt color is almost the same as the shorts but different enough that he doesn’t look too matchy matchy. Plus how adorable/hilarious is that dinosaur print? Shirt- Threadless Shorts- Old...
