modern tomboy

Modern Tomboy is a study in contrasts. It's the intersection of feminine and masculine and the multitude of interests aligned with a tomboy identity. Fashion, sports, food, entertainment - all stand on equal footing here.

Brandon Maxwell...Hallelujah!

January 16, 2018 by Laura Komkov in Fashion

A) It has been FOREVER since I've posted here. Life got a bit hectic with a new job...and now another new job a little over a year later, but I'm finally trying to get back into the swing of things.

B) I have to take a moment to praise Brandon Maxwell.

Latest MT Makeup Finds

September 06, 2016 by Laura Komkov in Fashion

Summer in Texas can make it tough to face the idea of putting on a full face of makeup each day. This summer (and over the last few years) I've found a few standby items that don't weigh you down completely, don't melt off in the hot humidity and give a natural look. Here are a few of my favorites (feel free to share some of your favorites if you have any!).

Met Gala 2016

May 03, 2016 by Laura Komkov in Fashion

Yesterday the Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute hosted its annual Met Gala (also known as the Met Ball). This event is basically the ultimate showcase of haute couture fashion in America. Each year, there's a theme that attendees are invited to follow. Designers partner with celebrities, actresses, models, etc. to create custom-made pieces that fit the theme. Anna Wintour took over as chairwoman of the gala in 1999 and particularly since then, it's really become a who's who of fashion.

Orange Crush

April 23, 2016 by Laura Komkov in Fashion

After lots and lots o' rain in Austin, we've finally had a few days of sunshine and blue skies. To celebrate, I had to break out a Milly crop top and some high waisted shorts. I got this Milly top a little while back on sale from Net-a-Porter and it was such a great deal...add that to the fact that these shorts are from Target (the WhoWhatWear line has been driving me crazy - perfect striped tops, high waisted shorts, printed scarves and so much more), and this outfit had me feeling outright financially responsible. To make it more "me," I added some menswear pieces - a vest and some black patent oxfords.

March 06, 2016 by Laura Komkov in Fashion

Whether you agreed with the Reagans’ politics or not, you have to admit that Nancy Reagan was an extremely chic First Lady. As the country honors her and celebrates her life, I thought I’d feature some of her most iconic looks.

Texas Winter

March 05, 2016 by Laura Komkov in Fashion

Okay y'all, bear with me while I figure out this whole "outfit pictures" thing. I grew 8 inches in one summer during high school and I still have NOT gotten the hang of this whole long limb thing (yes, it's been over 10 years, but I still feel like a baby giraffe most of the time). Maybe doing more of these will allow me to harness my inner baby giraffe and help it grow into a graceful (but still disproportionate) adult giraffe.

March 02, 2016 by Laura Komkov in Fashion

Awards season is the ultimate in glam fashion, and the Oscars are the pinnacle. Unfortunately, this year wasn’t as jaw-dropping as I had hoped it would be, but there were still several looks that caught my eye.
