Top Trend on the SS23 Runways: The Denim Bustier
American fashion is having a moment—and it’s living in the form of a denim bustier. Let us be real for a second: jeans are so associated with Americana that I sometimes picture the navy corner of our star-spangled banner, as being made of denim. I can practically hear a young Bruce Springsteen singing “Born in […]

Y2K Meets Spring/Summer 2022’s Trending Color: Yellow
Perhaps I wear yellow to hold sunshine. We can never touch the sun, yet in the summer we yearn to be sun kissed. To wear the hues of marigold, of mustard, or a daffodil, is to manifest summer. And once the dog days do roll around, I’ll be clothed in those shades. Pantone confirms that […]

As I walked down the ‘Streets of Bakersfield,’ I couldn’t help but wonder…could I actualize an ‘Empire State of Mind’ in the ‘Golden Empire?’ And just like that…I realized I could. Perhaps it was the ensemble I dawned inspired by Carrie Bradshaw herself (a fellow journalist and fashion aficionado). The Carrie-confidence, in every curl. It […]

THE ’90S SUIT WITH A TWIST | ON-CAMERA STYLE
It was the best of times, it was the simplest of times: The ‘90s. The finale to the 20th century was also the era I was born. The prologue to the new millennia was full of minimalist fashion.

THE POTTERY TOP | THE CHIC LIST
We all have that top. It’s the garment, so avant garde, so unique that you equate to a priceless artifact that belongs in a museum. Well, for me I can’t help but feel this way about this corset top with a Hellenistic print on It, because it legit looks like Grecian pottery from ancient times—so […]

Summer suiting tips for scorching summer heat
This has been a scorching summer–and for some reason ‘business casual’ doesn’t take triple digit heat into account. As an on-camera journalist, I’m expected to look extra polished on-the-job because I’m so visible. The thing is, wearing a full on pantsuit is out of the question in SoCal during August.

Bike shorts are here to stay! Here’s a chic way to wear them
Bike shorts, they’re cyclical! The trend came back around (hehe) last Spring, thanks to street style stars like Hailey Bieber channeling Princess Diana (the reigning royalty of the trend) and Emily Ratajkowski.
