Fashionable Creativity | The Chic List
I’m jealous of water fountains. You read that correctly. I want my cup of creativity to overflow like that. But not spill out onto the floor and disappear forever. I want my writer’s flow to include a pump that moves the fluidity upward, back into my veins, through my heart and into my brain–and take […]

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 […]

Girl in Gingham
We may live in a minimalist age, but I’ve always been more drawn to the maximalist trends evident in brands like Gucci and Dolce & Gabbana. Embroidery, embellishments, and rich colors when done tastefully can bring back an air of monarchial grace of the Renaissance noblewomen. Thankfully, Zara a more affordable option, is filled with […]

June Gloom Blooms Are Culottes
As you may or may not know, I have been wanting to buy myself a bouquet of peonies for years now. The experience was quite remarkable–from spotting the buds in the midst of many breathtaking blooms at the flower market to watching them slowly wake up, stretching their petals out completely to reveal their awestruck […]
