THIS OR THAT │10 Questions + Story Templates

this-or-that-%e2%94%8210-questions-story-templates

Hey, Instagrammers! Has anyone else been really enjoying those “this or that”/ “get to know me” templates floating around insta-story lately? They remind me of a combination of those old Cosmo magazine quizzes and the chain email questionnaires we all used to forward to our friends in the good old days of AOL. Such a fun way to get to know each other, don’t you think?I’ve gotten a few questions about where to get these templates, so I’ve taken the liberty of sharing a few of my favorite graphic designers/bloggers who have templates you…

YOU HAD ME AT YELLOW

If I had a dollar for every time I texted one of my friends “I’m wearing a really aggressive pair of pants” before meeting up, I’d be (to quote my friend Danielle who usually is on the receiving end of these texts) “a thousandaire.” I’m a big believe in the life’s too short to wear boring clothes, mantra. This, coming from a woman who as a child, used to wear Stride Rite tennis shoes in two different colors to match my outfit, is not surprising.I once took a color psychology class in college- yes, that…

30 Wardrobe Staples You Should Own by the Time You’re 3030 Things Every 30-Something Should Have30 Things You Should Have in Your Wardrobe by the Age of 3025 Things That a Woman Should Have by Her 30’sI’ve never been one to buy into the “should have” lists- especially ones that come with an expiration date. The idea of telling someone that they’re behind in life because they haven’t picked a signature fragrance by their 25th Birthday, or haven’t invested in an expensive arm chair by their 30th, has always…

PLEATS AND THANK YOU

There aren’t many things that I will voluntarily wake up for on a weekend before 10 a.m., but an opportunity to romp around and brunch at Assembly Row (when it’s warm enough in February to not wear tights) with some gal pals is absolutely one of them. Especially when there was a time not that long ago that I didn’t have very many folks to do that with. Moving to a new city will do that to you!As a self-proclaimed people collector, I have a gaggle of friends. In fact, my tribe is one…

VALENTINE’S DAY IN VELVET

If you were born in the 80’s, you probably have a family/school/holiday photo of the childhood version of yourself in some sort of velvet get-up (complete with a matching hair bow, if you’re me). And due to the trauma of living through this trend (thanks, Mom!) it took me almost 30 years to finally give velvet a go a second time. And my oh my, what I’ve missed.Long gone are the days of stuffy/stretchy velvet pieces that make you so sweaty you can’t actually enjoy yourself. Hello to flowy details, off…

WITH LOVE, PEACH

If it looks like activewear, feels like activewear, and wears like activewear…. it’s probably activewear. But what happens when it’s also made out of satin and velvet and is inspired by rich colors and Parisian architecture? If you’re me, you make an outfit with your best pair of heels & a statement necklace, and you go somewhere fabulous. Who doesn’t want to go to a party in their PJs?I recently discovered Peach, a brand that designs contemporary fashion for gym, work, and play, and immediately fell in love. What separates Peach from other athletic wear…

GIVIN’ IT THE BOOT, FOR $100 OR LESS

Season after season I go through the same struggle; find a pair of OTK boots with a heel I can walk in, that don’t look too “Julia Roberts a la Pretty Woman”, and actually zip over my calves. And are cute, chic, and won’t eat up all of this month’s spending money, of course. Urban shoe myth? NOPE. They exist. I’ve found them (here). And I may never take them off again.Looking for a way to amp up your fall/winter shoe game while still giving your bank account the respect it deserves? I got…
