The term ballet core is trending in fashion. But what exactly does it mean? A ‘core’ fashion trend is one that is based on a trending style aesthetic. Last season was full of pink. From a pink runway show at Maison Valentino to a pop culture film phenomenon about our favorite pink icon, ‘barbie core’ …
If you were in high school anytime in the 1990’s you can surely recall the long denim skirt trend that makes you cringe a little when you take that stroll down memory lane. Depending on how “cool” you were you probably styled yours with platform flip flops, a baby doll T, and some sort of …

Last winter I bought the most incredible oversized quilted jacket from The Frankie Shop. It has all the elements of a good coat. It’s warm. Its roomy. It’s incredibly stylish (proven by it’s knock-off’s appearance in all the popular fast fashion retailers). And it’s comfy. Have you ever rolled yourself up in your comforter like …
