The Definition of Sexy

Street Style Sex sells. Its no secret by now, we all know the more provocative the ad  campagin the more we pay attention (hence the controversial underage Brooke Shields Calvin Klein “nothing gets between me and my Calvins” commercial).  So many of us yearn to be the object of desire to others, because nothing is more flattering than provoking their primal lust. There is no compliment more honest. But what EXACTLY defines sexy? There is always some type of “it” factor that every issue of Cosmopolitan is trying to convince us is easily achievable with a certain outfit or inconspicuous flirty arm touch. It’s much more than that. There’s a reason Ryan Gosling is the center of our fantasies and not so much Steve Carell (no offense Steve!!).  (more…)

Fashion Faux Pas: How to Not Be a Victim

Fashion

Hope you’re all enjoying this extension of winter and know that the groundhog has been rightfully indicted (LOL). Check the news if you don’t know what I’m referring to. We’re all still bundled up in coats and scarves in NYC. Try a SMYTHE blazer under a detachable fur coat collar for a look similar to mine.

A ‘faux pas’, as I’m sure you all know, is the refined French way that we like to refer to a social blunder. Because everything sounds better in French, including our embarrassing fashion mishaps.

So how do you avoid becoming a Fashion Faux Pas victim? (more…)

Street Style Update – Lucky Charms – Do you have one?

Lucky Charms

I hope you all had a grand St. Patrick’s Day and are shuffling back to your daily schedules seamlessly. It was uplifting to see all of NYC come together this weekend to paint the town the same shade of Kelly green, and everyone adorning themselves in lucky shamrocks to celebrate. I, being the nonconformist that I am, wore my own special lucky charm – my lucky bullet, tucked neatly under my Confessions-of-a-Shopaholic-esque, festive green scarf.

Everyone who knows me, knows I wear my lucky bullet every day. Even if for some odd reason I don’t have it on, I still like to credit its existence for the good fortune that comes my way. People ask me “Why the bullet?” and I reply “Because it was there when I didn’t die.” It was one of those crazy NY movie moments that I’d have to explain to you over coffee. For a similar look to mine, try pairing a Donni Charm scarf with any one of Jennifer Zeuner lucky-charm-worthy necklaces.  (more…)

Meet Our Newest Contributor: Afaf! Learn More About Her Through Her Closet

Afaf

I’m Afaf, a 21 year old fashion designer living in New York City pursuing my goals and chasing my biggest dreams. The usual response I receive after an introduction is “what’s a ‘faf’?” Allow to me to explain this and how I ended up in such a glorious arrangement.

Imagine growing up in the deep-fried-donut-burger South, and briefly in Egypt, with a diva, goddess-of-gaudy mother; two older brothers who I swear must have secretly and unintentionally inspired the “geek chic” movement; and a father absorbed in the textile industry. (more…)

The Color Spectrum Inspires Leather

Trend

Leather is so in right now and we can't get enough! Not only is leather a huge trend, but more and more pieces are surfacing in vibrant hues of blue, red, green, etc. instead of the usual black or brown. Although leather can have a hefty price tag, it's well worth the investment because it's so versatile and can become a staple in any wardrobe. (more…)

My Cyber Monday Wishlist!

Dresses

In my opinion, Cyber Monday is way better than Black Friday. I rather lay in my bed on my laptop and score awesome deals than wait outside on a freezing line for hours and risk not getting what I waited for. It’s also just so much easier and convenient. Take 20% off your SINGER22 order today with code: CYBER and it ends tonight so hurry up and go fill that shopping bag!

I put together my wishlist for Cyber Monday that mostly consists of holiday/winter inspired pieces. Take a look below!

  1. BOULEE Avery Lace Dress in black: A girly dress with sheer lace sleeves, a full skirt and an open back.
  2. Parker Geometric Beaded Dress: The perfect holiday dress with a rich hue, beading and a dropped waist and draped skirt.
  3. Elizabeth and James Lisette Dress: Body-hugging long sleeve dress with a layered tulle skirt.

We Can’t Get Enough of Metallic Cap Toes!

Shoes

Earlier in the season we started seeing a few shoes hitting the scene that had one thing in common: metallic cap toes. We recently got in tons of shoes that carry on this trend and I love it!

If you aren't into heels, we have sneakers. If you don't want anything too girly, we have platform booties. If you want something more sophisticated, try our suede pump! There's something for everyone. I think a metallic cap toe adds a little something extra to an otherwise ordinary pair of shoes. It gives bit a edge and makes a statement. (more…)

These Boots Were Made for Fall…& Walking

Boots

One of the best parts of fall, besides pumpkin picking and eating endless amounts of Halloween candy, is the fact that boot season starts! When the cold weather hits, my go-to outfit is a sweater and/or long sleeve shirt, jeans and boots. I just find them to be so comfortable and warm. Since I'm very short I feel like I'll get lost in a pair of riding boots, even though I'm completely envious of every girl who can wear them, so I opt for cutesie ankle boots instead. I've also been dying to wear a pair of awesome socks that peak out from the top of my boots and look effortlessly cool…but that's another topic.

SINGER22 has a great selection of ankle boots so I picked out a few of my favorites. I wish I could own them all but my closet is too small and I'm trying to save my money (so far, kind of good).

  1. Jeffrey Campbell Roswell Fringe Bootie in taupe suede
  2. Sam Edelman Louie Boot in taupe rose
  3. Jeffrey Campbell Prance Bootie in black suede

Behind the Blog: Rachel

Leather Vest

As with most people (I think) I like to put a face to the name. I love reading blogs, naturally, and one of the first things I always do is read the "about" section because I like to know a little something about the writer. Blogs are such a personal way to communicate through technology and it's nice to have an idea of who's behind the screen. So, on that note… (more…)
