Splurge vs. Save: Vertical Striped Blazer

I’m a sucker for bright spring colors, but it’s such a relief to hear that the majority of this spring’s fashions will center around contrasting negative colors: black and white.

As a true fan of the color black (my go to color), this is extremely exciting. So let’s incorporate some of my favorite things into this week’s splurge vs. save: black/white, Beetlejuice stripes, and blazers.

Splurge

Definitely a major splurge, but honestly, how beautiful is this blazer? This Lanvin striped cotton blend blazer ($3,185, net-a-porter.com) is the perfect spring investment piece.

Save

I’d say that this $190 The Outnet Black Fleece Striped Cotton Blazer is more of a save option, don’t you think?

Would you wear a black and white vertical striped blazer?

The Best Dressed Ladies At The 2013 Billboard Music Awards

Music award shows typically do not have the most well dressed attendees. I guess it has something to do with the quirkiness and creativity of musicians and musicians’ red-carpet looks (in Billboard’s case, a blue carpet) are always eclectic, to say the least. Throw in the fact that the Billboard Music Awards are not the [...]

It’s been a whopping three days since the news of a high/low designer collaboration has been broken, so of course, we’re way behind on hearing of a new one.

A Model Covering US Vogue Is A Rare Occurrence Today

Years ago, models were everything. They fronted every major campaign, walked down every runway, and were considered to be celebrities as much as Hollywood’s biggest blockbuster’s leading lady. Today, when people think of a model, they think of Karlie Kloss. Ultra thin, ultra tall and primarily working the runways and editorial spreads in Vogue magazine. [...]

Questionable Product Names: The ‘Fatkini’

By no means am I always politically correct. Sometimes I say things that others would think are insensitive, but don’t get me wrong — certain questionable statements definitely get me to raise my eyebrows. Something that always makes me cringe is the use of the word “fat.” Being someone who has struggled with weight and [...]

J.Crew x CFDA

Designer to designer collaborations are one thing. You have two separate visions coming together to create a joint design. When a retailer collaborates with the CFDA, though, it’s a whole other ball game. The CFDA essentially represents almost every major designer in American fashion. How does one collaborate with a multitude of design visions? J.Crew [...]

Facebook updates have become an every day pain in the ass. Every time you get used to new settings, Zuckerberg and the crew decide to change it up again.

You Don’t Always Have To Be Nice At Work

It’s tough to find the perfect balance between being nice and assertive at work. If you’re too sweet, you’re considered to be either fake or weak. If you’re too assertive, you’re a bitch and unapproachable. Since finding the perfect median can be difficult, most women usually go with one or the other. Which one should [...]

Moda Operandi Brings You Met Gala Fashions

For me, other than the Academy Awards, there is no other red carpet event of comparable importance than the Met Gala. Fashion’s best and brightest come out to celebrate the opening of fashion’s most loved exhibit each year, and the styling is always remarkable. I find myself stalking Met Gala photos for days afterward wishing [...]
