Sheer Intentions
[[MORE]]
Dressing for the mood of Summer is all about unexpected color, in sheer, romantic fabrics. And what’s even better than one sheer garment? The layering of two!

Singing in the Rain
[[MORE]]
What do you know- just when I almost finished storing my Winter wardrobe, it started raining. As bummed as I am about the weather change, I’ve been wanting to wear the thrifted London Fog trench I picked-up a couple weeks ago (so I guess I am smiling inside, a little).

Office Ready
[[MORE]]
Update your Summer office-attire with a linen blazer, crop slacks and sophisticated wedges. Work in a casual environment? Mimic the look above, by adding a blazer on top of a casual top and necklace. (This look is trendy, yet sophisticated enough for a casual office environment). Need a more Corporate-friendly ensemble? Add preppy appeal with a draped neck-scarf. (Remove the scarf to...

Chiffon Crush
[[MORE]]
I’m loving the blousey, semi-sheer appeal of a chiffon cami paired with basic, boot-cut denim. Something about this look is so simple, yet romantic. The best part? It’s in the perfect shade of rust orange that looks good on just about every skin tone.

Lavender Dream

This lavender top is an absolute dream! In addition to the soft, girly tone, the flowy silhouette is a dream come true for a curvy girl who wants to keep it modest without forfeiting style.

Dressed up Denim
[[MORE]]
Every season, I come across an accessory that instantly becomes my favorite.
Perfectly sculpted, brightly colored earrings add an instant pop of color (and personality!) that dresses up any outfit.

Casual Cool

Sometimes a sweater vest completes an outfit. What makes this one extra cool? It’s thrifted!

Dinner at Dusk
[[MORE]]
As much as I enjoy dining out, I think my favorite part is getting dressed for the occasion. I love the glow of a silky top and shiny jewels in the candlelight… and don’t forget a pair of unforgettable shoes.

Tribal Summer
[[MORE]]
I don’t typically wear loose fitting tops, but this mixed-print tribal tank fit my need for change (which also compliments the change in climate). Off-set by solid jeggings and nude wedges, this tank sets the tone of a print trend and silhouette I’ll definitely be wearing all Summer long.

Safari Chic
[[MORE]] I’m loving the look of utility inspired crops paired with a nautical-gone-girly top.
I imagine this is an outfit I’d wear on a safari. (Okay, maybe not the wedges, but you get the jist).

Apricot Appeal
[[MORE]] I’m feeling a natural gravitation toward all shades of orange lately, and this apricot top is exactly what my subconscious had in mind.
Any idea what won me over in addition to the color? The paisley and fishnet detailing of course!

Conjuring Fall
[[MORE]] I didn’t realize this velvet blazer was so on-trend for Fall, that it’s actually two trends in one- velvet and blue. Paired with this graphic top, apparently it’s a triple-threat!

Bridesmaid Dress REMIX
[[MORE]]
I think I speak for us all when I say that the only concern a fashionista has in being asked to serve as a bridesmaid, is whether the dress will ever see the light of day after the nuptials conclude.
As a bridesmaid for my sister’s wedding last Summer, I too pondered this question, and haven’t gotten around to confirming the answer until now. I’m here to tell you that some...

Rainy Day Blue
[[MORE]]
I have a serious fashion-bond with the color blue, so it’s only natural that this BCBG puff-sleeved jacket spoke to my obsession. Paired with a tribal print scarf, black skinnies and cognac boots, it’s just the right color contrast a rainy day ensemble requires.

Made in India
[[MORE]][[MORE]]
Knowing where things are made is one of my many obsessions, so when I had the chance to visit India last year, I couldn’t wait to create some treasures of my own. Having access to raw materials that can be transformed into whatever your heart desires was such an amazing experience, and I took full advantage! My first project was at a silver shop in Jaipur, where I...

Dear Spring
[[MORE]] Dear Spring,
Just because your weather patterns aren’t jiving with my inner urges to dress for warmer climates, doesn’t mean I can’t rock my wedges and denim crops! To compensate for your prolonged cold, I threw on a cable-knit sweater and still managed to work a couple of warm-weather essentials into my outfit. (In your face!) WARMEST Regards, Tanesha Tunic...

A Walk in the Park
[[MORE]] Getting dressed is never as easy as it looks. The key to putting together an outfit, is choosing a focal piece you can style the rest of the ensemble around.
With the magic of this simple, yet well constructed knit sweater, this look came together effortlessly, and I was off to the park in no time. My favorite part about this thrifted piece that recently found its way into my closet?...
