We have selected the most chic and fashion-forward ladies to show you how to wear the denim overall trend. Each one with its unique style, Alexa Chung’s coolness, Diane Kruger’s simplicity, and Olivia Palermo’s femininity… take a look at how they wear them. The return of the overalls Denim overalls were one of the best things that happened in the ’80s and ’90s. Well, guess what? They’re making a comeback in spring. Whether short, artfully distressed, or casual, overalls are one of Spring’s must-haves. Get the look with some of our favorite overalls of the season! My favorite thing about fashion…

I’ve always had a thing for jelly shoes. When I was a child, my little sister and I would get a new pair every summer, scrutinously shopping through the clear rubbery options available at Gap Kids. We usually mutually decided on the most glittery, magical-looking pair, though I always insisted she gets a different color, so we weren’t totally matching (lame). Today, my sister wouldn’t be caught dead in Jelly shoes, but I still adore them, and I’m not alone. Jellies started to resurface again in 2012, appearing on celebs like Anne Hathaway and Azelia Banks and in the collections of designers…

I just got the cutest orthopedic shoes!!! Wait, I don’t think we’re supposed to say “orthopedic” shoes anymore, but they are made with orthotics and designed by podiatrists, and I know, I can hardly believe it either; I keep looking down at my feet to make sure I’m not imagining it, as well as checking in with myself to make sure I haven’t become someone else entirely, someone other than Shoenista Pia who recoils at the very thought of even sensible shoes. My love of fancy footwear and super-high heels is truly the most stereotypically “girly” thing about me; I can’t explain…

Marriage is something I’m not ready for quite yet. I don’t wanna make that step until I’ve established myself a bit more, financially and in other ways too, you know? Sometimes I’m glad that almost everyone down here gets married young because it means I get to go to LOTS of weddings. I love weddings so much. Why wouldn’t I? Dressing up, dancing, and getting drunk for free are a few of my favorite things. Weddings rule. I know weddings can be stressful and expensive, though– particularly the getting dressed up part. If you’re invited to lots of weddings or…

“I saw the lipstick on the glass and wondered who would have done something like that for an interview. Then, after I saw you, I knew who it was.” The comment came from a woman who was a fellow student in my graduate school program. She was talking about a red lipstick mark she spotted on a used glass in the office where applicants had been interviewed. When I put on my lipstick that morning, the same as every morning, I hadn’t considered whether or not it was interview-appropriate. Red lips are so much a part of me that not…

I’ve always been a somewhat passive dresser in the summer. When fall finally rolls around, I lose my head over the current trends in boots and jackets, but I don’t get excited about many summer trends. It’s just too hot to worry much about clothes. That being said, summer is the one time of the year that all of the neglected open-toe shoes in the back of my closet have a chance to shine. This summer, I’ve been completely obsessed with one particular shoe trend: insanely tall platform wedge sandals. Oh, I saw that face you just made. It’s cool;…

“How do you bring up pubic trimming/shaving to a woman?” a guy I know asked me via Facebook message. Ask Me About Your Girlfriend’s Pubes! Am I wearing a sign that says that? Because more than one guy has come to me for lady-body-hair advice recently. Personally, I shave my legs on days I wear leg-exposing clothes and shave my armpits several times a week (I rarely go sleeveless, but I find I’m less likely to stink if there isn’t hair to trap B.O.). If I’m seeing someone, I’ll shave or wax some or all of my underwear area (I’d…

Much has been made, on this website and others, of the colossal amount of vanity it takes to constantly take and share “selfies.” Why, just last week, I used this platform to mock those who thought a fucking funeral was a good time to take one, because seriously, people, that’s fucked up. But is there ever a time when the social media self-portrait can be a healthy mode of expression, particularly for the young women who make up the vast majority of its practitioners? One need only look at the selfie with which I have illustrated this article to know I…

I moved to New York a little over one month ago. So far, I love my job, and I like my apartment. I enjoy the food, and, despite the many warnings I received prior, I have already made some very, very snazzy friends. I don’t mind commuting, and I’ve even been able to visit my parents in Central NY, more visits than I ever was able to manage in such a short time span throughout my last five years on the West Coast. The only thing that has been really stressful, in all honesty, is the deep and unsettling feeling…

I think we can all agree that this past year when it came to body acceptance, was amazing. We had Wisconsin news anchor Jennifer Livingston calling out her hater on live television for criticizing her weight and daring to say she’s “promoting an unhealthy lifestyle.” Eloquently, Livingston fought back with words that came straight from the heart, stemming from hurt, but put on a brave face to defend herself, defend people everywhere against the bullying of fat-shaming. Not long after that incident, there was the “fat” blogger Stella Boonshoft who so brazenly posted a photo on her blog, The Body Love Blog, of her body – stretch…
