Allie, I hope this isn’t too personal but you have large breasts and they always look great no matter what you wear. Can you let me know more about your bra collection? What styles work best for you? I breastfed my son for three years and my breasts are now saggy. I know…
I turned 39 this year and feel like I’m having a fashion crisis. Not only do I long for a more edgy refined look, I’ve also gained around 15 lbs that are pretty much all in my bum and hips and I don’t know how to dress for that. I feel like everything I like…
So Rockport contacted me a few weeks ago regarding their new line of shoes called Total Motion. They claim the concept is, “…where soft fit meets lightweight stability.

We’re bombarded with utter crap at lower pricepoints – cheap scratchy cotton, irregular cuts, tacky replicas of runway looks, shiny transparent polyester frocks, and sweaty glued-together…
I’m still smiling over my experience this summer with Foxcroft. It was so fun to have them bring me up to New York City and help style their 25th Silver Anniversary photo shoot! As I mentioned in my last post about Foxcroft Style Stars, the models for this shoot were actually teachers from PS 159;…
