Allie, I love your capsules but I don’t wear color like you and your series. My signature style is shades of cream, black, gray, tan, and ivory. Could you do a capsule of neutrals? I am in love with the idea of capsule wardrobes. However I’m terrible at choosing pieces that mix and match in… Continue Reading Ask Allie: Capsule Wardrobe of Neutrals
There are some bloggers that I just get attached to. A combination of their personal style, their blog voice, the peeks into their life… they become not just fashion inspiration but virtual buddies. That is how I would describe Cammila from the blog Dressed Up Like a Lady. I used to follow her blog, somehow… Continue Reading True Fashionista: Interview with Cammila Collar
Winter is here for the foreseeable future. For years now, I have forced myself to wear dress pants to work in the winter months. I have cute dresses that sit in my closet and I tell myself that maybe this week will be the time I wear them! But alas, they sit in my closet… Continue Reading Ask Allie: Winter Hosiery Advice
There’s a part of me who wants to be preppy. To be that fresh faced, girly, outdoorsy, classic. To be that gal with the breezy highlighted hair, crisp chino shorts, who knows her way around a boat and a horse.

It has a round neck, short sleeves, darts and seams that make it fit really nicely but not trashy and it comes to my… Continue Reading Ask Allie: Styling a Not-so Little Black Dress
This post is sponsored by Gap but all thoughts and words are my own. I recently visited Gap and felt like a kid in a candy store. Adorable jackets, tons of stripes (we all know how I adore stripes), and fun jeans including their new Women’s Skimmer Jeans. Named because they skim the ankles as… Continue Reading Gap Skimmer Jeans: Versatile Style for Now and Spring
Blogger Fashion Trends. They do exist. There are just some styles that bloggers latch on to, and the trend grows like wildfire. Some, I could do without, but many are so popular because they are just so darn wearable on many different shapes and ages of women, and adaptable on varying clothing budgets. While these… Continue Reading True Fashionista: Nancy
I really like the capsule wardrobe posts that you have been doing. Would you consider doing one for a jeans work environment? Our company recently switched policies to allow casual dress everyday, as long as the jeans are dressier. My last three places of employment have allowed jeans as long as they were dressed up.… Continue Reading Ask Allie: Denim-based Office Capsule Wardrobe
