    Can't Get Enough "Glee?" Check Out Our Pitch-Perfect Style ...

    I was having a conversation a few weeks ago with a friend about our TV-watching habits. While he's watching crime dramas and more serious fare, I've been solely dedicated to fashion favorite "Project Runway" (of course!) and musical hit "Glee." I've always been a sucker for musicals and musicals plus high school makes it even better. While some of the plot lines can be pretty outrageous, there's no denying that all the actors are super talented and also have some pretty savvy fashion sense. My three favorite characters of the show, Rachel Berry, Mercedes Jones, and Sue Sylvester all have their own unique sense of style, and although fashion is far from the show's focus, it's certainly worth noticing. Rachel's preppy style with schoolboy blazers and cable-knit sweaters exemplify her character's perfectionism. On the other side, Miss "diva-in-training" Mercedes always wears bright colors and has plenty of bling too. Lastly, Sue may be a tough cookie and wears those Adidas tracksuits like they're going out of style, but her unapologetic attitude is a reminder that we should always be confident in ourselves. Take a look at my slideshow to see how you can "gleek" up your wardrobe!

    Cozy Up In Tweed Clothing And Accessories That Aren't So ...

    There's something about tweed that undeniably conjures up images of wintertime coziness... not to mention old-fashioned office attire and your grandma's go-to outfit for Sunday brunch. The good news is, however, that tweed has been updated to suit the styles of modern trends -- from platform pumps to boyfriend blazers -- and has expanded beyond its traditional use in plain ol' pea coats and conservative skirt suits. The great thing about the fabric is its ability to makes items still look office-appropriate without appearing stuffy, yet it can also be dressed up with metallic details for a night out, or thrown on last minute for an upgrade of your usual "just rolled outta bed" look. For some wintry-warm tweed pieces that are still totally on-trend, check out the slideshow!

    Summer's Over, But You Can Still Wear Shorts!

    The weather has started to turn chilly these days and I'm super excited to be pulling my fun tights and leggings to pair with my tunic tops, skirts and dresses. But lately I've been wanting more winter wardrobe options than what I currently have. The solution is actually quite simple. Winter shorts (usually made of wool, tweed, or heavier cotton blends) are a fun way to bare your legs even during the colder months. While it's still a little warm, you can wear them without anything underneath but once the winter chill takes over, then it's time to start layering with tights or leggings. One of my favorites is the Wool Flannel Short from J.Crew. For something a little more appropriate for nighttime, I've been obsessed with the Silence & Noise Sequin Tap Short from Urban Outfitters. Take a look at my slideshow for more winter shorts!

    Leather Gloves Of All Lengths To Suit Anyone's Winter Style!

    If you've been procrastinating on gift shopping and instead have been stocking up on your own winter wear (hey -- a girl's gotta keep warm), don't forget to keep your digits protected from the cold too! For the wintry months ahead, leather is migrating from moto jackets to accessories and is starting to replace knits and cashmere in the realm of cozy hand-warmers. Fingerless gloves are all over the place (okay, so maybe they're more for fun than function) but you can put your own spin on the trend with studs or chains. Or, for an updated take on Old Hollywood glamour, opt for a longer pair a la Audrey Hepburn (though hers weren't luxe leather like these!). No matter what your style, you're bound to find your perfect pair among this season's varied selection! Browse through my favorites in the slideshow!

    Exhibit Your Style With Pop Art-Inspired Tees

    Back in the '50s Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein were on to something, and T-shirt designers right now on the cusp of 2010 know it. There's nothing like exhibiting our own art museum on the streets with the help of a graphic tee. With contrast imaging and sometimes bright, vibrant colors, these T-shirts can be as eye catching as a print on your bedroom wall. As most T-shirts, they're great for weekend wear and after-work/school comfort, but also boast a "look at me!" mentality that you'd be silly not to flaunt out and about. Commercial stores like Urban Outfitters and Wet Seal have caught on the trend, but going the vintage boutique route could also score you some killer art-piece-like wear. While it may be impossible to get an original pop-art multi-colored Marilyn Monroe lithograph portrait, an eccentric collection of pop-art inspired clothing is a fun and approachable way to tune into your inner art-lover. See the slideshow for some creative, everyday tees!
