The New White Shirt: How Will You Wear it?

The white shirt was one of the biggest trends on the Spring 2014 runways. However, it's not your classic white button down. The New White Shirt is clean, crisp and subtly different in its styling. It's more cool than classic. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, see below for plenty of examples. Which one is for you? Although I don't usually push a specific trend, this one is just so easy and refreshing, there's no excuse not to try it!

Sweating in Style

Winter is finally coming to an end. The sun is coming out, the birds are singing and the flowers are blooming! Everyone is excited for the beautiful weather, but with the temperatures rising we know that it’s time to shed our bulky layers in exchange for tank tops, dresses, and shorts. If you’re dreading the inevitable trips to the gym, just take this as an opportunity to show off your style!

Recently, designers such as Alexander Wang and Stella McCartney have been coming out with their own lines of workout wear and equipment to keep us sweating in style. New clothes always help when you need a little extra motivation to get to the gym!


Adidas by Stella McCartney is a great place to start when looking for cute workout wear. With her different yoga, running, and essentials lines, you can plan exactly what you need for your personal workout!











My husband is always after me to do my arm exercises so I can stop complaining how heavy the baby is getting. I swear I would use them if they were CHANEL!







Philippe Stark has exercise accessories which would be at home in the chicest of homes.








Downtown cool? Try Alexander Wang for the gym.









Scuba diving this spring break? Try this racy Michael Kors swimsuit!

What Would Your Uniform Be?

One of the benefits of using a personal stylist is the amount of time you save getting dressed each and every day, not just for special occasions or date night. I tell my clients that they'll be able to get dressed in two minutes or less once they have gone through the entire styling process with me. My clients and I are able to acheive this fashion freedom by narrowing down the outfit choices to only include complete looks that work for them.  Doing so simplifies the process and provides the client confidence as they select what they'll wear for the day.

Now imagine how long it would take to get dressed if you only had one choice. Thirty seconds or less, perhaps? There are individuals who have decided that they won't waste time or energy on deciding what to wear every day, instead they just wear the same thing every day. Most of these individuals are some of the most creative in our society: fashion designers.

What might surprise you is what these designers adopt for their daily attire. For instance, Giorgio Armani makes incredible suiting but sticks to tee shirts. Of course, if you are a high end shopper, you know that Armani also makes incredible tee shirts if you are willing to spend $500 per.

Other designers' regular garb epitomizes their style a bit more. Alexander Wang sports all black. Tom Ford rocks crisp, white button-downs and sharp but luxurious sport coats.

Things get a bit more confounding when you learn that Marc Jacobs' uniform consists of a kilt, a button down shirt and a blazer. I won't even try to describe the ingredients that make up Karl Lagerfeld's uniform. I'll just show you the picture.

Of course one of the people most famous for his uniform was an architect of our lives, not our wardrobes.

Steve Jobs
So, my question to you: what would your uniform be? Post comments, please!
