What To Wear

SS13 Layers for Sheers

Sunday, 19 May 2013 | Author: Catherine Horgan |

This spring, there are more opportunities to experiment with sheer fabrics.

From flowy sheers to print sheers to barely there sheers.

You can't walk into a store without seeing a plethora of playful numbers. They are everywhere. And it's up to you to determine the best route to take.

Prints are fun. They tend to provide a bit more mystery. Flowy sheers are perfect for pairing with something fitted. And barely there sheers scream for creative layering.

While sheer fabrics — in tops, dresses and skirts — are feminine and beautiful, the right underpinnings are critical for pulling off the look with class. With the amount of bandeaus, bralettes, thin metallic tanks and shapewear, it's time to branch out.

So, have some fun!

Wells Fargo SS13 Golf Tourney Attire

Wednesday, 01 May 2013 | Author: Catherine Horgan |

It's here!

The Wells Fargo Championship is underway. Are you going?

While I'm diggin' the concept of the bermuda suit for spring and for a golf tournament, I thought I'd explore the cutout sundress for a touch of feminine flair. This floral dress from TOPSHOP is definitely worthy of a second and third glance. Topped off with the perfect hat, sandals and sunglasses, there's no doubt you will be watching the tournament in style. Simple accessories are all that are needed to complete this look.

Oh, and don't forget your sunscreen.

Fore!

Wear That Room w/ CoS: Coral, Tan + Blue

Tuesday, 09 April 2013 | Author: Catherine Horgan |

This room screams for an outfit to be designed around it. Coral, pink, tan, blue, green and splashes of black and white. How delicious is this? I could live in this room all day long. The wall color is so romantic and casts beautiful lighting. Yet the furniture has a masculine flair. It strikes a nice balance.

CoralTanBlueGreen Setting the foundation for our outfit is this Vivienne Westwood striped dress, perfect for the spring season. Shoes are a great way to add in gorgeous color, by way of Jason Wu with these blue satin strappy embellished sandals. Keeping it simple, but impactful, add in a blush quilted clutch, black chandelier earrings and a white enamel bangle. Hmmmm, harmony.

Just like the room above.

Winter to SS13 Transition

Sunday, 24 March 2013 | Author: Catherine Horgan |

Seasonal transition is tough.

We've been teased plenty. To the point of allergies. Yet, it's still 40-50 degrees outside.

Spring, when do you plan on arriving?

I find the easiest pieces to wear are simple — jeans + layered tee under sweater. Perhaps to the point of falling back on it too much. However, it's climate controlled and practical.

While there are many options, if you're looking for a no-brainer, this one will get you through. You could substitute the sweater for a structured jacket, too. Or, perhaps go for a tunic under skinny jeans.

And if you are up for the task, mix print on print!

Savvy Style: No Matter Your Locale

Wednesday, 27 February 2013 | Author: Catherine Horgan |

It is such an honor to have the opportunity to dress women from coast to coast, for various occasions. While my preference is always to work in person, distance and time sometimes prevents that. However, that doesn't mean you have to sacrifice a thing, as I have you covered from head to toe. Not a detail left out.

Nothing makes me happier than experiencing the giddiness alongside (virtually, albeit) my client when she sees the whole look pulled together. Vision turned reality. And it's always magical — for us both.
