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. As I was growing up, I tried to embrace this trend a few times (college… Continue Reading True Fashionista: Interview with Beth Chappo
I purchased these shoes at the Old Town Boutique District Warehouse Sale. While I can figure out how to wear them for work, I was wondering if you could provide me with some suggestions on how to style them in a more casual manner. Cute shoes! I have some VC Signature shoes and find them… Continue Reading Ask Allie: Styling Navy and Oxblood Kitten Heels

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

I have worked with the concept but still am missing a few pieces that I can’t for the life of me figure out what they are. I got a new job in November that will have me traveling… Continue Reading Ask Allie: Capsule Wardrobe for Business Travel
