“Magic mirror on the wall, who is the fairest one of them all?” –Queen from Snow White  Dressing fully in white might have Snow White looking rather subdued standing beside you.

Owning the Streets

It’s true. Wide/boot legged pants are making their comeback. My mother, being one of my biggest fashion role models, has always told me that culottes or what I like to term them, “trumpet pants”, were in style when she was in college. She has always tried dressing me in wide-cut jeans or different colored culottes […]
