The title says it all. Horizontal stripes, for better or for worse, are in big time for spring; but let’s face it: we all know horizontal stripes can make a girl look wider. Who wants that? Certainly not me! In today’s What to Wear, we’ll take a look at how to wear stripes, or at least [...]

This week at Violet Revolution, we’re doing a special Q&A. While at the Evil Kitty Trunk Show this weekend (Click here to view the article and pic’s from the show!), I had a chance to ask Lidia about her view on fashion here in Chicago as well as her latest collection: Q: What does fashion mean [...]

Some of you have asked me about where you can pick up the latest spring trends for less.

What to Wear: Best Spring Dresses

Thursday, April 1, 2010

It would be pretty difficult to get through the entire spring season without buying or wearing at least one dress. That is what spring about, right? After being cooped up in sweaters, boots, and pants all winter long, it feels nice to wear a feminine, breezy dress for a change. There are obviously a plethora of [...]

I’m not sure if a spring season has ever come and gone without some floral patterns emerging on clothing and accessories. It is probably the only season where a symbol of the season can be acceptable to wear and still look normal. How many times have we seen Carrie from Sex and the City wear a dress [...]
