This isn’t your average list of accessories; it’s not about the latest necklace, bracelet or belt. Instead, I’m more interested in the hidden accessories – the ones that save more outfits than a pair of cute earrings ever could. Every item on this list has saved me from pain, an inappropriate fashion moment or both. Not only that, most of
Often when I’m doing research for Style Files, I happen upon apparel I desperately want. The problem is, I rarely have the budget or occasion to justify purchasing them. I used to file these tops, pants and dresses in a note aptly titled “Check When Cheap”. This note became a catchall for apparel I loved, but had no immediate reason
I Love Statement Pants I have a thing for statement pants. I’m partial to wide-leg, high-waisted pairs in particular; but I don’t discriminate when it comes to bottoms that stand out.

At least that’s what I thought when I first saw a Raisa Vanessa. ”Who makes that dress?! I need it now.” After some deep diving, I found Raisa Vanessa is known for more than just
What’s a Top-Handle Bag? I define a top-handle bag as one that needs to be held. I don’t consider most shoulder bags top-handles since you can hold or sling them over your shoulder.
