With all the glitter, bright colors, leopard print, full skirts, polka dots, embellished sweaters and excessive use of the color pink, I sometimes think the designers at Kate Spade New York can read my mind. Going into one of their stores is like sensory overload in the best way possible, and it’s very, very dangerous […]
As I’m sure you’ve noticed, I love ballet and ballerina style. So I was super excited when I got an email from Elle magazine with a link to a slideshow of 15 ballet-inspired pieces to wear now.

According to Marine Corps lore, they conducted their first enlistment drive in a bar in Philadelphia, Tun Tavern.
