Over the weekend I went on my annual birthday trip to Disney World and I was so excited to give my new fanny pack a go... We loved when these trendy fringe bags made a comeback for festival season, and couldn't wait to get our hands on a vegan version! Hipsters for Sisters, is committed to sustainability, ethics, and relieving women of the baggage we lug around with us every day. I took my beautiful new mulberry fringe for a spin over the weekend and have to say, I couldn't believe how freeing it was to be hands free, but have everything that I needed every day, right at my hip. I could fit in a rolled long...

We have launched our latest additions to the Stix and Roses collection here at SARAROSE ON OAK! The Harper is a personal favorite. I have been looking for that perfect wrap dress for so long, but there always seems to be something unfavorable with the styles I find. I love the ease and elegance of a wrap dress, but most of the time I find myself looking so matronly in them. I wanted that sexy 1970's wrap with just the right dip in front with a casual dolman sleeve and a material that would make me feel as though this dress was just a second skin.

Kaftan: Stix and Roses | Hat: Vintage | Bracelets: Mantra Band Dressing Up Fall A few weeks ago, I talked about my love for mixing styles from the summer and reinterpreting them for fall.

Nothing accomplishes this feeling better than the nude trend. Nude pumps on a bare leg are about as sexy as it gets, and I love a putting a client in overall nudes to complement her color and shape. A client once came to me expressing her desire to wear sexy nudes, but confessed that she really did not care for that color tone on her skin. Like many would-be problems, that got me thinking. What about interpreting the nude trend more literally, and aiming for nude...

Dress: White Rainbow Project | Bracelet: Mantra Band | Reading: Grocery Gardening (Jean Ann Van Krevelen) Simply Luxurious Living Without a doubt, there is a certain enjoyment we can gain from luxurious material goods and items of status. Societally speaking, we can attest to our human desire for these things just by looking at the financial explosions of the luxury industry worldwide. The very existence of six-figure handbags made from unethical exotic leathers is one of many citations of this fact. As alluring as these things may be, they are equally complicated and often create clutter in one’s life. As a designer and stylist, I have seen it time and again in my client’s closets—they feel overwhelmed by the...
