Fashion Fridays – New York Fashion Week Street Style
New York Fashion Week. It’s the center of the style scene that sets the tone for the following season. But equally important and alluring to the shows is the street style that emerges during the week-long event. After years of working at fashion shows, I was able to actually enjoy one as a guest this...
Fashion Fridays – The Kimono Jacket
Kimono styles have long been traditional garb for the Eastern world; but now, the dramatic-sleeved silhouette is making a statement in mainstream American collections via the kimono jacket. While the kimono robe has been popular for years, it is typically only worn behind closed doors. The kimono jacket has a similar negligée feel, but is...

Fashion Fridays – Coat Check
Winter is officially here – no matter what the ambiguous Colorado weather may have to say about it. If you live here you probably own a few jackets – maybe a wool peacoat, a leather jacket, a warm down jacket and something sporty and utilitarian like a North Face. Am I right? Well, it’s time...
Fashion Fridays – H&M Gift Ideas
If you’re like me, you’re a little behind on holiday shopping. But finding the perfect gift for each person on your list can be a daunting task, requiring time and consideration. While I love Denver’s independent boutiques and stylish staples, the recent addition of H&M makes holiday shopping for everyone on your list a little...
Fashion Fridays – Tango Time
