“The quest for a perfect appearance just leaves people with a fairly ordinary look. -Kate Nightingale, style psychologist in London While I can’t really say I know what a style psychologist is (sounds interesting), I really agree with the above quote. No one’s perfect, and it’s quite difficult to pull off a “perfect” look from [...]

I had dinner at a friends a little while ago, and she was wearing a fabulous denim button-up with black pants. I am now loving the denim shirt trend, and think I may have to buy myself one sometime soon. Since J. Crew is always on top of the latest trends, here are some J.Crew [...]
