Oversized Coats

By Amra B. 


For some time now, I have been obsessed with oversized coats. They are chic, elegant, and amazingly comfortable. Also, their ability to hide the rest of your outfit on those days you don’t feel like dressing up is simply GENIUS! I like oversized coats in almost any color, but my favorites for this season would have to be camel, black, blue and pastel pink. Below are some tips on how to wear your oversized coat:

  • Combine them with slim pants/jeans: A great way to balance out the “roominess” of your oversized coat is to add a pair of slim pants/jeans. Wearing a loose pant, dress, or a skirt with an oversized coat might make you look bulky.

  • Add heels: Balance out the “casual” feel of an oversized coat by adding a pair of killer heels. I love wearing strappy sandal, a peep-toe bootie, or a great pump with my oversized coat.

  • Accessorize: add a fun hat or a scarf to an oversized coat. Oversized coats tend to be basic, but can be made exceptionally fun and dressy with just the right touch of wonderful accessories.

  • Wear them open: I love the way an oversized coat falls when it is worn open. I also love wearing a thick sweater underneath and a scarf to keep warm when leaving the coat unbuttoned.

Wishing you an amazing day!

Charlie Chaplin: My Style Icon

Image
By Elma B. I have always been a huge fan of the the Charlie Chaplin era, particularly the style from his iconic films  The Tramp (1915) and The Modern Times (1936). The legendary films were dominated by wide legged pants and bowler hats. I added my own modern twist to the look by including these wide legged overalls with polkadots; white sneakers, all the rage this season; and a simple white tank top. (Outfit details below...) My Style Inspiration: Charlie Chaplin While the classics, like the Charlie Chaplin films, remain a definite influence and an inspiration on my style choices, I always throw-in the everyday modern pieces. Who inspires your everyday style? Leave a comment below, I love hearing from you! Until next time, xoxo from the Upper West Side of Manhattan!

8 Hidden Seattle Gems

By Avery C. “A city is not gauged by its length and width, but by the broadness of its vision and the height of its dreams,” said Herb Caen. As many of you know, I have lived in Seattle my entire life. Some know it as the Emerald City, whereas others instantly think of coffee (Starbucks, am I right?). However, Seattle embodies so much more. Don’t let the rain fool you because Seattle is an amazing city. Besides, it really doesn’t rain that often; it’s just cloudy 300 days out of the year J In order to make up for the weather, this city contains some of the best coffee shops, restaurants and boutiques in the country (I may be a little biased). If you are ever looking to visit the beautiful Northwest, definitely stop by Seattle because the minute you enter the city, you are quickly be embraced by the fresh air, the Puget Sound breezes and the extravagant art.

By Elma B. Although I have never been to Coachella, I have been observing over the years the fun, flirty and illustrious street style of many of the festival's music goers. I even saw that the style in many high street shops was inspired by Coachella. Thus, as the festival fast approaches, I wanted to share my style tips for this fun and bohemian music festival.  Style Tips for Coachella 2015 Me: Outfit Inspired by Coachella  Shagadelic '70s Firstly, I would definitely recommend steering your entire look in the direction of the happy-go-lucky hippie '70s. As luck would have it, the '70s have made a total come back this spring. Hence, it will be really easy to shop for the hippy-happy-go-lucky look.
