The Many Ways to Style a Maxi-Dress
I have to be honest, I used to be a little scared of maxi-dresses. Okay, not waking-up-in-the-middle-of-the-night scared, but just a little nervous. They were always one of those trends that I thought looked great on other people – usually tall, gorgeous people – but I’d always been too nervous to try.

I Love Your Style: Frida Kahlo

8 Under $20: Totally Turquoise
Word on the runway is the color for summer is turquoise. Yay! I am more than happy about this fate. Turquoise looks so glamorous with glowing skin and a mojito. And something else I’ve noticed about the color? The exotic hue never looks cheap, not even when you’re loading up on it for under $20.
The Weekly Ten: Summer, Meh
By now, everyone is looking forward to the summer. Thoughts of a pool, a raft and a cold beer are about the only things getting us through the hell that is finals week. But while I love me some summer sundresses and the prospect of a steamy summer fling, summer isn’t all rainbows and butterflies for me. Yes, this whiny girl with a Jew-fro has a bit of a bone to pick with summer.
Budget Stylista: Business in the Front, Party in the Back!
Baby’s got back my friends. And by baby I mean the term of endearment I now use to call all of these amazingly sexy dresses. This summer, dresses with some sort of fun/sexy back detailing or cut-out are all over the place.

Wardrobe Wish List: Sleeveless in Blue Ocean
I have a shocking confession to make: the dress before you is a maternity dress.
