Little Black Dress


“One is never over-or under-dressed with a little black dress.”
                                                                    --Karl Lagerfeld

It’s Friday night. You’re invited to have dinner and drinks with girlfriends on the rooftop of one of the most exclusive places in the city and it starts in an hour.  You rush home, you take a shower, by some miracle your hair still... dare I say it, looks good from earlier that day. You hit your closet and...

What the hell are you going to wear?  This is a problem that we women have all encountered. The answer?  A little black dress!  Now, when I say little, I don’t mean little as in it stops under your butt and you are constantly pulling it down.  I mean the dress that is the perfect length and fit, not too much skin showing but just enough to make a man look twice... And make a woman roll her eyes.  You can pair it with a cute pump and prostitute lip (red lipstick) and be on your way.

Created by the iconic Coco Chanel, the little black dress was envisioned to be long-lasting, versatile and affordable.  The little black dress is a must have in every woman's closet and a fashion piece that will never go out of style.  Being the Plain Jane with a Twist that I am, the little black dress is perfect for me.  It’s simple yet stylish. 

So, the next time you have a special occasion to attend and don’t know what to wear, remember that little black dress is your go to piece!




Thanks and more to come!

Personal Style

"Personal style is about taking a risk, trying something unexpected, and having fun with fashion, but always being true to yourself."

---Ralph Lauren



When I was first asked to blog about fashion by a good friend of mine Morgen E., I thought to myself WTF! Who wants to read a fashion blog from someone who has a closet full of denim jeans, a few printed pants and who is a sucker for a bootie (the shoe of course)?  But that's exactly why I think it's a good thing. It's because I consider myself a Plain Jane with a twist, (though that sounds more like a drink that you would order from a bar than who I actually am) but there's one in every group of girlfriends.  I have the tendency to stick with what I know and step out of my comfort zone every now and then when it comes to fashion. That's what I will bring you. Showing you that taking risks and stepping out of your comfort zone is good, because you never know when it will work in your favor.

With this blog I plan to take those risks, feature designers, attend and talk about fashion events.  I'm also going to introduce you to a good friend with an upcoming fashion line Me'Ke. 

And of course have you all channel your inner Plain Jane with a twist. 



Thanks and more to come!
