A Fashion Blog By Karen Cruz
It’s funny to me how every so often, I’ll wear an outfit that I absolutely love and feel great in, (and get tons of compliments from other women as well) but will just collect a mass of strange, confused looks from men. These outfits are what I have categorized as outfits that “guys just […]
There’s that silly time honored fashion rule that one shouldn’t wear white after Labor Day. This dates back as early as the 1900’s, when the affluent would return from vacation and retire their white clothes once summer was over. There was no real practical reason for the rich to follow this, but they […]
My take on animals prints is that one should only wear them sparingly, as an accent, like a leopard pair of shoes or bag worn with an otherwise very simple outfit, particularly a black dress or simple skinny jeans and a tee and leather jacket. Since animal prints are pretty garish, mixing prints should […]
So I admit… I may be a part of the small (and damned!) fashionista minority that isn’t the biggest fan of Diane von Fursternberg’s widely applauded, (and knocked-off) “wrap dresses”, mostly because they usually overpower my petite frame, and frankly make my body look shapeless and lost in an otherwise original and whimsical print […]
You know what’s one of the best perks of being petite? It’s that tunics and long shirts can be pulled off as dresses! With the classic shirt dress always in style, it’s good to have the option to belt and transform any longish shirts as a dress. ( Don’t forget to wear cute lil shorts […]
“It’s getting hot in here…so start wearing more crop tops!” Ha ha ha so my rewrite of Nelly’s hit smash about getting hot and bothered may be one too many syllables and isn’t at all as catchy…but man oh man it’s so very true for this year’s summer heat wave don’t ya think??? So […]
Hi loves!! Hope you guys are keeping cool this hot summer! I shot this a bit ago but I got so busy with life, trips, projects and good things coming up…but one thing remains the same…the good ole sunshine in southern Cali! I hope it’s sunny and beautiful wherever you are! xo […]
Ever seen that meme that says, “Dance like no one is watching…cuz they really aren’t, they’re too busy looking at their phones.” It’s so funny to me, because unfortunately not only is that true nowadays, with everyone being glued to their phones, ( I’m guilty of this myself…eek! ) but that quote actually offers […]
Anyone that knows me and sees me often would know that I love love love my BLK DNM Motorcycle jacket. I wear it almost daily, with every outfit. That’s why when I saw this WHITE leather jacket, I thought, “How refreshing!” It’s perfect for spring and summer, and was a nice change from the same […]

While Memorial Day has always signaled the start of summer for me, I also want to take a moment to express gratitude to the brave souls who have served and continue to serve this beautiful country so that we may sleep in peace and live our lives day to day knowing that we are […]
In the past, many fashion risk takers who have dared to don see-through clothing have been penalized to some version of a “Would You be Caught Dead In This” list of fashion mishaps. But lately, with so many cute lingerie lines out there, such as my favorite, SKIVVIES by For Love & Lemons, it’s […]
