Introducing a new sporadic series that cannot be planned (think: Compliment or Insult), entitled Straight From a Fella’s Mouth, where we reprint here some amazing gems of … wisdom/stupidity/hilarity straight from a fella’s mouth. The fella will remain anonymous, but all of female-kind will benefit. Male-kind, you will learn what not to say … On Yoga…

Mesh. Gets Me Every Time.
Maybe it’s the years of basketball indelibly searing a love of mesh into my soul, maybe it’s the sexy factor of skin + air, maybe it’s the contrast—or confluence—of sport and fashion, but I freakin’ love mesh. I love it in athletic clothes, in casual clothes, in fancy clothes. I love it in small patterns…
Celebrity Double Play
Saturday was a banner day in my pretend celebrity lifestyle. Glitz, glam, and the gym—in reverse order. First up, Power 106 All-Star bball on the NBA Nation tour at Universal CityWalk. <— I missed this shot, clearly. Also, yes, those are Dunks crica 1998. Something about Nike sponsorship… Didja know? Power 106 was one of…
You Are NOT A Celebrity When it Comes To Crop Tops
Dangit, I move to California and all the sudden I’m wearing short pants and short tops and short … well, I always wore short shorts. I am from Texas, after all. The Crop Top. I wrote over there —–> (fashion sticky notes) that crop tops should go back to where they came from (the 90s). However, I…
How to Cut a Fresh Pair of Jhorts
Just in time for Memorial Day Weekend … There is a long-standing debate: is the proper spelling for cut-off jean shorts “jhorts” or “jorts”? Jhorts are a summer staple in Texas. They are not funny or costumey, jorts are simply what you wear. Occasionally with boots. It’s hot. This combination has always been hot, and…
High waters
As a 5’9″ tall woman who is all legs, ankle-length pants didn’t make sense to me for many years—probably because they just felt too short, like most pants on me. As it turns out, ankle-length pants are not simply pants that are too short—the new crop (pardon the pun) are a flattering silhouette that will…

Business Leather
Leather is all over in business—in bags, belts, shoes. But how about going whole hog (cow) on the luxe material for the office? Here’s how to do it—nothing tight, nothing short!
Winter Sidebars
The sidebars needed a lil love … and am I getting soft? Are the Fashion Stickies less snarky than usual? THINGS I LIKE AND YOU SHOULD TOO … because I knew about jellies shoes way before they were cool. *the resurgence of friendship bracelets *chambray shirts *bold business suiting—you can pair tops and bottoms separately…
Flip-flops.
In the world of snow in May (Aspen), flip-flops are an afterthought, relegated to suitcases and gym showers. My once numerous collection (courtesy growing up in Austin, Texas) has dwindled to a mere ten pairs, none of which have been worn for several summers. But with the impending move to the beach, flips-flops are back…
