Leisure Suit


Aug10

Haven’t you heard? Couch surfing is so in - which is wonderful news, considering the fact that my own sofa has been doubling as a waiting area for outfits that don’t make the final round of my daily AM tryouts.

Yes, I know it’s a messy disaster! But we’re in and out of our wardrobes, Starbucks, and the subway – all before 8am – and our post-happy hour time is spent at fragrance launches, fashion film screenings, and accessory preview events. So, it’s no wonder we’re too exhausted to tidy up! But fortunately, we’re not alone:

That’s right. “You look tired,” is a backhanded, passive-aggressive insult of the past. So, the next time that bitch from accounting feigns concern for your sleeping schedule, pretend to care about the dullness in her life. If you find the time.

And when you do find that elusive thing called “time,” be sure to make it look as though you’d been enjoying the luxury of leisure all along.

Class Participation


Aug09

Maybe it’s just the August impulse – the unwarranted “back-to-school” mentality that takes years to ditch. But it seems as if the recent objects of my fashion attraction are becoming more buttoned-up, buckled down and polished over.

Adding one subtle, yet unexpected element is the key to achieving an appearance of academia without looking like a 7th grade substitute teacher. Score some easy extra-credit with asymmetrical cinching, faux-contrast collars, or mixed-media paneling.

This isn’t high school -- You are no longer graded on mere “participation.” So shut up, put your hand down, and take a look at our cheat sheet below:
