Starting a new job always has its perks...one of many being the downtime in between the last day of one and the start date of another. What the heck does this have to do with fashion? Absolutely nothing. Except that during one of those sweet days off while transitioning, a girl can finally … [Read more...]

February 19, 2009 By Leave a Comment
I just got back from a wonderfully relaxing trip to Montreal for Valentine's Day. It was cold, just as Weather.com and every single person promised me, but my boyfriend and I enjoyed it to no end nevertheless. We even got in a full day of sightseeing, had a dinner and managed to have enough energy still … [Read more...]
The Cover-Up

It's Valentine's Day this weekend, people. Find some sexy way to enjoy it: chocolates and flowers are traditional, but sweet. Think exotic locations, foods, or impersonations. Maybe a hot night on the town with your favorite man or lady? There's nothing like that sexy dress to wear on Valentine's Day … [Read more...]
Montreal

In two weekends, I'm going to Montreal! It's going to be fantastic and wonderful, and I'm going to have to learn how to bear with the snow. Two inches fell today in Providence, the streets and sidewalks were slick with ice, and I was already grumbling about how I wish spring would just come...consider … [Read more...]

While much of this travel fashion column has been about finding a complete look, from dresses to shoes to socks to accessories, I would like to dedicate this column to the necessary fashion staple in travel, the handbag. Whether you go for look or efficiency, there are no rules: just find something that … [Read more...]
To the Capitol and Beyond!

Yesterday was Inauguration Day. It was a glorious, humbling, and for some an extremely cold experience. If you were lucky enough to be in Washington D.C. for the Inauguration, you paid a price not only for your hotel room but in the physical extremes as well. We don't all sit on upholstered cushions … [Read more...]
Au Revoir Paris

I've become obsessed with the trio of Williamsburg cuties who make up the band Au Revoir Simone. If you haven't heard them yet, I recommend their music highly. But to get the full effect, check out their music videos, where the girls make some sassy vintage fashion statements with short hems and faded … [Read more...]
To Reunion or Not to Reunion?

Welcome to a new year! Have you stayed true to your resolutions so far? If not (or if you haven't yet come up with a stellar New Year's resolution) try this one on for size: Reboot your style to be not who you were in 2008, but who you're going to be in 2009. It may seem a bit materialistic, but do New … [Read more...]
Holiday Parades
January 4, 2009 By Leave a Comment
If you're from New England, you're used to traveling into the city and participating in mandatory spirited parades--the Patriots, the Eagles, the Giants, the Sox, etc. For me, it was the Mummers on New Year's Day. The problem always is...what do you wear to a parade? You want to dress the part of a fan, … [Read more...]
Foreign Fresh

During the holidays, with all the travel, and the food, and the lack of exercise, we begin to feel a little stuffy. Too much turkey stuffing maybe? Christmas pudding pies got you down? Fill yourself with happy thoughts of healthier plates and cleaner arteries with clean-cut, stylish fashion. Some looks … [Read more...]
