I can’t believe it’s already been a year (tomorrow) since we started Posh In Progress. I started the blog as a way for me to share my current fashion obsessions, experiences as a new mom, and my favorite recipes. I’ve really enjoyed the first year and can’t wait to keep improving the blog in year…
This Sunday is my last, first Mother’s day and I’m already nostalgic. This is my first Mother’s day having a daughter, and my last, first mother’s day, since we don’t plan to have any more children. As I reflect on what Mother’s day means to me this year, it dawned on me that there are now…
Why are you calling it vegan leather? If it is leather, it can’t be vegan. Why don’t you call it what it is? It’s faux leather, imitation leather, leatherette, fake leather. The ‘You’ I refer to above are those companies that are jumping on the “I’m doing good things for the world” bandwagon by using…
It’s time to retire those tweed jackets and wool slacks until next fall. I’ve talked about how suits can be fashionable before (here and here). If you are shopping for a new suit this spring, you are in luck. There are so many stylish, modern and sexy spring work suits for women that are appropriate,…
There are so many fashion trends that I’m loving this spring. Some of my favorites are pastels—especially light pink, floral prints, and the graphic black and white trends that are evident in all areas of fashion right now. This spring, it’s not just about overarching trends, but specific pieces. So you can modernize your wardrobe…
As I browsed the mall the other day, floral prints overwhelmed nearly every clothing rack and faceless mannequin I passed. The bold colors and often – exaggerated prints screamed, spring is here. I love the floral print trend because bright colors and fun patterns bring life to a wardrobe, especially for those of us who…
New York Fashion Week wrapped up last Thursday. A personal goal of mine is to one day attend some of my favorite designers’ shows. However, this month, I watched via social media and website recaps while adjusting to bringing my newborn daughter home late last week. Here are my top five favorite designers from the…
The high contrast, black and white trend for this spring is easily my favorite. Vogue featured black and white checks seen on the runways at Balmain, Ralph Lauren and Rodarte. While Harper’s Bazaar showcased the sportier side of black and white on the runways at Narciso Rodriguez and Rag and Bone, among others. I love…
The weeks between Thanksgiving and New Years are prime time for holiday parties, and the one time of year when sequins on your clothing is a prerequisite. I generally don’t endorse buying items that aren’t versatile, but I fully support buying one special party dress per year that you can wear to a holiday party…
Deciding how to dress for Thanksgiving can be chore, but it doesn’t have to be. Thanksgiving is synonymous with family, food, football and passing out on the couch after one-too-many slices of turkey, but there is no reason you can’t be stylish and fashionable even if you’re having a more low-key celebration. The following three…
What was the first interview suit you bought for your first real job interview? For many of us, it was a standard issue black pants suit – practical, versatile and boring. It takes effort to bring an outfit from boring to chic, that’s why many of our black suits don’t often make it out of…
A friend recently asked me to do a post on work wear. I got to thinking about traditional office attire and remembered the first suit I ever purchased for an interview. I was 22; it was black, ill-fitting, and boring. At the time, I didn’t know the power of a good tailor to help even…
One of my favorite trends for fall is leather accents. Pretty much any store you will browse, from J.Crew to Target to Old Navy you will see leather or faux-leather accents on nearly every type of clothing. If you are shy about wearing a full leather skirt or even a leather jacket, these touches of…
I love it when the weather is cool enough to start wearing boots. Mine are patiently waiting for me in the back of my closet until the Southern California weather is cool enough to break them out. The thing that I love most about a short boot, or bootie, is that I find them more…
I love summer, but there is a point where I get sick of my sandals and long to break out my boots and chunky sweaters. A good pair of boots can last for years, which is why I tend to invest in classics like those found at the Frye Company. I have had a few…
