It’s Friday, I’m in love: April 19, 2013!

TIFFANYTANK.COM A treasure trove of articles, photos & quotes from around the web, that made my -❤- smile this week...
  • Ladies, watch THIS!
  • Tim Coburn is utterly fabulous! I could learn a thing or two from him! ;)
  • Thomas Keller's thought provoking take on passion versus desire... "It’s not about passion. Passion is something that we tend to overemphasize, that we certainly place too much importance on. Passion ebbs and flows. To me, it’s about desire. If you have constant, unwavering desire to be a cook, then you’ll be a great cook. If it’s only about passion, sometimes you’ll be good and sometimes you won’t. You’ve got to come in every day with a strong desire. With passion, if you see the first asparagus of the springtime and you become passionate about it, so much the better, but three weeks later, when you’ve seen that asparagus every day now, passions have subsided. What’s going to make you treat the asparagus the same? It’s the desire."... there’s no reason Keller's philosophy couldn’t be applied to your craft, whatever it may be.
  • After being heavily recommended from all sides & then practically forced into my hands... I can't put this down!
  • Karl Lagerfeld + Choupette =
  • THIS stunning image, from who else? Vogue.
  • Finding an issue of Vanity Fair in my mailbox featuring the one and only, Audrey!
  • The images from my styling collaboration with Muscle Milk have finally been released! Check out those images & some of the behind the scenes... here!
  • And finally... I dare you not to spontaneously say: awwww!?
Happy Friday! ❤

Ask a Stylist: Airport Attire – Navigating the friendly skies with comfort & confidence!

Image by Vicki Dvorak Dear Tiffany, I'm a big fan of your blog and your styling opinions, so I have to ask: what is your opinion on traveling attire? As comfortable as they are, I don't feel pj's are appropriate but wearing heels (as I've seen some do) seem unnecessary. What are your thoughts? Thank you for all you do! Megan D. Phoenix, AZ _________________________________________________________________ Hi Megan, I can't tell you how happy I am that you asked this question! This is an issue that bothers me, to my core, every time I enter an airport. First of all, you couldn't be more spot-on regarding "pjs"! Pajamas are never appropriate for the airport, or anywhere in PUBLIC for that matter! Pack them in your suitcase, put them on when you've reached your destination, when you're ready to unwind at the day's end and ONLY then. By the same token: unless you're under the age of 10, you have one option for your giant pillow (that you refuse to leave at home): pack it! The end. At the opposite end of the spectrum: 4 inch heels are also not an appropriate choice for air travel. Gasp! I know we love them (I couldn't be more guilty of that) but if flight attendants don't wear them, that's a solid cue that you shouldn't either. Have you ever tried walking down the aisle of an airplane in flight? Now imagine that balancing act in heels! Good luck. Plus, airports are designed with extremely long walking distances; from the ticket counter - to security (more on that later) - through the mile long terminals - to the gate; where you're then required to sit in a cramped airplane seat for several hours (or more) with your feet at an uncomfortable pitch? Having blisters when you land or when you reach your destination, just isn't okay or cute. Airport footwear: Flats are the perfect choice! Whether your favorite flats are: ballet, Converse, Tom's, riding boots, sandals, etc... keep your feet flat and comfortable. Also, unless you're okay with walking through security barefoot (eek!), wear flats that require socks or tuck a pair of socks into your purse to quickly slip on, once you slip your shoes off! Airport attire: Leggings, a long tunic & a lightweight shawl or scarf are always my go-to attire! Jeans, a blouse & a lightweight jacket or sweater are another solid option. I've seen some choose maxi dresses, which I understand are comfortable but I've found that anything too flowy just adds to the frustration of navigating busy terminals whilst juggling luggage. I personally, prefer pants (leggings, harem, linen, jeans, etc.) specifically because they're fitted; which means, they won't get in your way! They're easy, comfortable & tend to keep you at a constant cozy temperature too. The ultimate goal when choosing your traveling attire is to ask yourself: is this comfortable + chic? You always want to look put-together (styled) but comfort is key & layering is essential when it comes to traveling like a stylish pro. Thank you for your question Megan! :) Safe & stylish travels, Tiffany

Trend Watch – Printed Leggings

Leggings have been an effortless go-to trend for ages now but have you been as bombarded with the recent emergence of prints, as I have!? From bizarre + bold, to flirty + feminine, printed leggings are everywhere! Click to enlarge! When it comes to this bold trend less is certainly more. Let the leggings be the conversation piece and keep your accessories to a minimum. I always advise my clients to pair their leggings with a tunic or short dress, layering is key. Please note: Leggings are NOT pants and should never be worn as such... please cover your tush! I did some legwork for you & threw together a pinboard of some printed leggings that I found available online, right now! You're welcome. Here are my personal faves:
