Spring is in the air! Can you smell it? Can you feeeeeel it?

Sorry, I think I’m high on bird chirping and my first iced latte of the season….

For many of us, this week brought the first real warm, gloveless days of the year. Ah, how I love that first day of 55 degree weather, when we all think 55 degrees means summer and you actually see people walking the streets in shorts and flip-flops, pretending they are perfectly cozy when they’re really covered in goose bumps and their leg hair is growing back. Not that they’ll admit it, or suck it up and rock their puffy jackets on a day like today. Not. A. Chance.

But we all understand. After all, it’s been EONS since we’ve been able to even comprehend the idea of going out without our frenemy, the North Face, and frankly, most of us have no clue what else to wear. So we wear nothing at all. And then we thank god our bras are padded so it’s not quite as obvious to passersby how cold we really are.

Well not anymore. Enter: the spring jacket.

There is no need to catch pneumonia (or have the rest of the world think you are crazy) when the temps start to climb, especially with all the adorable trends in spring coats rolling out right now. I’m talking jackets so cute you won’t want to go out without one, even when the warmer temps roll in and shorts (sans jacket) are actually acceptable. So why not take this time to switch out your outerwear and rock an adorable spring look that will keep you warm but looking oh-so-cool?

I’ll help you get started with 8 great jackets that won’t break the bank. Read More »

Last weekend, we had a bout of unexpectedly amazing weather in Philly that got everyone way too excited for spring. It’s like, once the sun comes out, suddenly nobody needs to do their homework. Practically the entire campus spent the day outdoors, camping out on every grassy spot available in shorts and flip flops — it was great.

On Monday, of course, it then proceeded to rain for an entire day.

Nevertheless, spring has arrived, and the season of puffer jackets and peacoats is officially behind us. That means it’s time for spring jackets. Below are four of my favorite styles, along with outfit ideas for how I would wear them. Read More »

[Most guys we know stay up late dreaming of the day they might end up in a giant orgy with beautiful women. We, however, lie awake at night dreaming of a closet full of beautiful clothes. To the left, a wall of shoes. To the right, shelf upon shelf of delicately handcrafted bags organized by color and size.

Sigh.
We all have our fantasies.

Since guys can turn to the interwebs to get their daily fantasy fix, we thought you should, too! So, we’re bringing you some fashion porn. The best of the best in all things fashionable. Sure, it may be out of your price range, but it’s a fantasy, so live it up in all its delicious glory.]

Sometimes it’s just too cold to go jacketless on a summer night – but that doesn’t mean you have to ruin your perfect summer outfit with a heavy coat, or warm sweater.  While you could chance it, and pray you meet a hot (and chivalrous) man that will keep you warm on those chilly nights, sometimes a girl has to take care of herself.

Fortunately for you take-action girls, there are plenty of cute and cozy coverups that will complete and not clash with your ensemble.  With so many sweaters and jackets, there is a perfect match (or several matches) for every outfit, regardless of your style or budget.  So you don’t have to wait for Prince Charming (because he probably isn’t all that reliable) to keep you warm, because not only can you do it yourself, but you can also look fabulous in the process!

So, I know this seems a bit ridiculous to be wanting a lightweight cotton jacket right now, but hear me out: the fall/spring light jacket-wearing seasons are so short that it just doesn’t make sense to wear a cotton jacket solely for those seasons. What I propose is to get the Fab Casual Jacket , $17.50, and start wearing it now. You can definitely fit a thin cashmere sweater underneath, and it adds an extra chic layer in these terribly frigid temperatures. Choose from six fabulous colors (my three favorites are above!). Add $5.95 for s&h.
