Cultivating confidence through fashion and style
By Erika, Fashion Expert First, let me apologize. If you follow the YCS or my personal Instagram, you have been subject to the slow leak of our engagement photos for the last two weeks. I can't tell you how many people have texted, DM'd or emailed me asking for the full gallery of our photos! [...]
By Erika, Fashion Expert I know, it's been quiet around YCS for the past couple of weeks. But that is only because we have some EXCITING ventures that we have been working on. In addition to officially partnering with one of my closest friends to officially launch "Come Shop My Closet" (more on that later [...]
By Erika, Fashion Expert It's the first day of spring, rah, rah, rah. If where you live is anything like Philadelphia then it wasn't all the warm today and you found yourself, like me, still reaching for your warm weather clothing. As we transition to warmer weather, I am not quite ready to give up my [...]
By Erika, Fashion Expert Shirt: Bravely I Photo: Rob Bergsted I have always been taught, and always felt, that I have a voice. That what I have to say is important and matters.

By Erika, Fashion Expert A few weeks ago I shared three of my pro tips to help you become a better shopper. The very first tip I shared was to "begin with wardrobe staples." The list I shared wasn't earth shattering or probably all that different from lists you've read in the past about what [...]
By Erika, Resident Fashionista Say what you want about Kanye West; but, in my opinion, ever since he took over Kim Kardashian's closet she has been a style super star. Sure, I get tired of her endless supply of putty colored (or tan or beige) crop tops and pencil skirts. And yes, I think a [...]
By Erika, Resident Fashionista You say "to-MAY-to;" I say "to-MAH-to" . . . Oh who cares?!?! This blazing hot shade is all over stores just in time for Valentine's Day! Though, I certainly don't need V-Day as an excuse to grab as many clothing items as possible in this lovely hue. I love this tint [...]
By Erika, Resident Fashionista I must admit that the 2015 Pantone color of the year, Marsala, left me scratching my head. It's not quite Burgundy. Not quite Maroon. Is it brownish?
