"What is the difference between fashion and style? Fashion says, 'Me, too,' and style, 'Only me.' " ~ Geraldine Stutz Aerie In another edition of plaid galore, I am highlighting my new favorite button down shirt. Because I am a full disclaimer kind of gal, I will share a little secret with you. Technically it [...]
"I would wear a full-length cape if I could get away with it - I do love a good swirl in a fog." ~ Martin Freeman The Cape Kimonos, vests, ponchos and capes, are my go to fashion accessories. If it is flowy and offers a semblance of warmth while still being fashionable, I am [...]
"Everyone should have a great leather jacket in their wardrobe. It is perfect to wear with a T-shirt and jeans and great pair of high tops." ~ Brad Goreski It gets colder and the leather breaks out. As a kid wearing leather was always edgy. It was the rule-breakers who wore it. Bikers and motorcyclists. [...]

"Many a calm river begins as a turbulent waterfall, yet none hurtles and foams all the way to the sea." ~ Mikhail Lermontov Growing up in the White Mountains, I hiked year round. Yes, even in the winter. What? Do I like torture? Nope not particularly. I get the trepidation of winter hiking; its cold, [...]
"My six favorite textures for fall and winter are leather, fur, tweed, mohair, velvet and wool. I love that they are all as warm as they are fashionable and easy to incorporate into your wardrobe." ~ Nina Garcia Last year I was in Burlington and had to (had too!) go into my favorite boutique called [...]
"Snow provokes responses that reach right back to childhood." ~ Andy Goldsworthy I remember as a kid waking up to huge white flakes falling down and my mom telling me I didn't have school. It was a snow day! The giddiness I felt at something that was so decadent especially for a Mountain town where [...]
"Your dresses should be tight enough to show you're a woman and loose enough to show you're a lady." ~ Edith Head Santa had mad styling skills this year. He brought me almost a whole entire outfit!
