If you’ve ever found yourself watching Top Chef and caring more about the earrings than the entrée, congratulations! You, too, have fallen under Padma Lakshmi’s spell. Let’s get one thing clear: Padma is not just a host. She’s a cookbook author, producer, activist, mother, UN Goodwill Ambassador, and yes, an absolute fashion juggernaut. And while she serves up plenty of jaw-dropping red carpet looks, her true style secret weapon is her statement jewelry. Not content to let a borrowed diamond necklace do the talking, Padma comes armed with bangles that could double as armor, earrings that dare gravity to step up, and necklaces

Adventures in Shopping: TopShop T-Shirts
You know, I’ve heard a lot about TopShop but have never actually shopped there. After perusing their website for awhile, I realized it was more or less a trendy rabbit hole where I found myself saying things like, “Why so many crop tops?” “What is that supposed to be?” and surprisingly enough, “Why are all the t-shirts so boring?” I mean, how many solid colored t-shirts in different lengths of crop top could one store sell anyway? Clearly, t-shirts is not the section I should’ve been wandering around in but that’s what I’ve got today. The t-shirts I would purchase
My Style Icons: Laura Vandervoort
Laura Vandervoort isn’t the most well known celebrity out there. She once played supergirl on a little show known as “Smallville” or if you are like me, you discovered her on the reboot of “V”. Either way, I’m not here to talk about her career but her ability to rock a dress. She can look like a starlet from the 1940’s or she can modernize and smoke her eye out with the best of them. What I’m trying to say is, the girl has strong game when it comes to picking out the right dress. I live for this dress.
Fashion Cravings – So Kate Pumps from Christian Louboutin
Fashion cravings? Of course Christian Louboutin pumps would make an appearance in this series at some point. He’s a staple in the drool-worthy “I want that” fashion category. His red sole shoes are iconic to the hilt. AND, even though they cost boatloads, they’re still super uncomfortable and super covetable all at the same time. I know, because I tried on a pair while in New York City. I was all “Ouch, but oooh, I look good!” I know the pointy toe is a hit or miss depending on who you are, but I feel badass and highfalutin all at
Five Favorite Things – September 2019
Slip Silk Pillowcase – I can’t get over how great this is. Helps your skin and hair just by falling asleep on it?! Yes, please! This is definitely pricier than other silk pillowcases on the market, but I promise you I can feel the difference in quality. This is far ahead of its other competitors. GHD Platinum Hair Straightener – I wrote about this as being one of those ridiculously priced beauty gadgets that I spent money on but… I really like it. It makes my hair look almost healthy. AND, it straightens better and faster than any other flatiron
My Style Icons: Dakota Fanning
Although I enjoy fashion, I don’t always push the boundaries as much as I’d like to. Most of the time, I don’t even try to push them at all. I quite like my leggings and graphic tee shirts with converse shoes. Unoriginal, uninspiring and flat out B-O-R-I-N-G. Which is why I wish I could do fashion like Dakota Fanning. Sheesh, even as a kid she was quite the fashion darling. She has a knack for always looking super comfortable while dressing with some flair. She also takes the basics and makes them… less basic. Hers is a fashion I *think*
