Whitney: The Sweet Punk Fash-hole

Photography by Zofia Glenn

Happy Mother's Day Fash-holes!  Today's post has nothing to do with Moms but it is always important to remember those awesome ladies who nurtured us into the smart, strong, confident women we are! On another note, today I am featuring this adorable lady I spotted out on Walnut Street awhile ago. I was drawn to her when I saw she had gold spikes on the tops of her socks. I mean, that is pretty fierce. Then I noticed her subtly torn pants and graphic tee, which pulled together a rocker vibe. But then she paired those pieces with a fun, brightly printed scarf, gold hoops, a top knot and a classic pea coat, adding a sweetness to her otherwise tough chick ensemble. The overall effect was just darling. Learn more about Whitney and where to shop her look here:

Zofia: The Sheer Lace Fash-hole

Happy May Fash-holes! Spring has finally fully sprung (with showers and all) and I am so excited for Spring fashion. For me, Spring means dresses, layers and romance. And this outfit perfectly combines all three.  I loved this dress the second I found it (at a Marshall's in Seattle, thank you very much) because I am really digging the sheer panels on skirts and dresses that is trending right now. But when I tried it on, I wasn't sure I was going to keep it. Then once I styled it up with some chunky jewelry, stacked bangles and rings on, added my favorite brown ankle boots and cropped denim jacket, I was back in the game! This is why I don't try on at stores often. I feel like you get a better sense of how you will wear a garment when at home where you can play with it a bit.

I'm also excited to feature some of this jewelry as it is newly acquired items passed down from my Babcia (Polish for grandmother). My Babcia passed away in February and I was in Seattle for her memorial a couple of weeks ago when we went through her jewelry. Now, my Babcia was incredibly stylish and is definitely an inspiration to me (especially after seeing old photographs of her in her 20s...she was stunning and impossibly chic) so getting to rock some of her original pieces is very special. I only hope I can do them justice! Learn where to shop my look here:

Meghan: The Coco Rocha Fash-hole

The end of Wharton Week is here with Day 7 today! (see Day 1, Day 2, Day 3, Day 4, Day 5 and Day 6 coverage of the Wharton Charity Fashion Show) The last look I am featuring is from Meghan, who I initially noticed because she looks like Coco Rocha (and I am kicking myself for not taking a close up shot!) one of the most buzzed about models and one of my all time faves. I also loved the simplicity of her outfit. She looked very fresh and young with her white top, black bottoms and structured crossbody bag. In order to make this look standout and not in the "excuse me, waiter" way, make sure there are fun details in your simple pieces, whether that be zipper details on the pants or a cool gold heel on a black boot.

Ege & Alexander: The Designer Fash-holes

Day 6 of Wharton Week is here (and only a day behind-sorry!) This is the next to last post celebrating the Wharton Charity Fashion Show and one that I have been excited to share with you guys (see Day 1, Day 2, Day 3, Day 4 and Day 5)! I immediately stopped the lovely Ege the moment I saw her bright orange head scarf and flowing printed dress. I love easy, boho inspired fashion and so it was a no brainer to grab this girl for the blog. As luck would have it, the adorable guy she was with was actually the designer of her effortlessly cool outfit. So I grabbed him for a few pics and interviewed both of them. Learn more about Ege and Alexander and what she is wearing here:

Name: Ege Ozyegin

Age: 20

Occupation: Student at University of Pennsylvania

Name: Alexander Zorub

Age: 28

Occupation: Designer for Mason's, his family's Italian based clothing line for men and women

Style Inspiration/Icon: Alexander described himself as a "heterosexual male fashion designer for women". He designs for the woman that he wants to date: an individual, free spirited, exotic woman.

She looks so incredibly chic with the clingy forest green dress paired with opaque black tights and platforms. Then she tops it off with an edgy silver statement necklace, a perfectly fitted (and with amazing details!) moto jacket and an over-sized sparkly clutch. Majorly cool.

Happy hump day Fash-holes! With today being Day 4, we are well on our way through Wharton Week, celebrating the Wharton Charity Fashion Show (see Day 1, Day 2 and Day 3). Today, I am featuring the gorgeous and bright Sonia. She immediately grabbed my attention with her wild, floral head-to-toe look. What I love most about this look is that she made it look effortless and easy to pull off, which it is not. She achieved this by keeping her accessories simple and letting her outfit speak for itself. I also thought her hair was a fabulous topping to this crazy cool ensemble.
