The Uniform Dress
Do you gravitate to one or two particular colors or pieces in your wardrobe? I do. For me, it's either browns or oatmeals and grays in different shades. Simple knit dresses that I can wear to travel, run to the store, meet a friend for lunch, have a business appointment are staples in my closet. I can dress them up or dress them down as much as I like with my accessories. Lately I've been thinking "less is more." You can see a glimpse of … [Read more...]

If you haven't heard of who or what she is, get ready to put a smile on your face. If … [Read more...]
Golden Time Tuesday
This weekend's daylight savings time change came just in time if you ask me. It always seems to happen that way almost every fall I feel like. It's the ONE time of the year that the answer to the question "Oh if only there were more hours in the day" is YES! we DO have more time on this day... just ONE hour. But still, it's extra time, right? And time is GOLDEN wouldn't you say? Some of the things I'd do if I had more time? Organize … [Read more...]
Black and Gold
One of my favorite color combos that exists is black and gold. Love it for the home. Love it in bags. Love it on shoes. Love it on clothes. Love it everywhere. And getting dressed up in a black and gold dress is classic and timeless I think anytime of year. Here's my take on a great dress from a super local retailer, Rakota Remington. I shared my love for this GREAT shop HERE. I had to wear shoes that weren't the "look good but can't … [Read more...]
Easy Breezy Outfit
Going from here to there, traveling by car, air conditioning, heat, humidity. Issues, right? What to wear on a day like that? Something easy breezy. Bottoms that are comfy, warm but not too hot, a lightweight top that is thin enough to not get hot in, but yet covered enough to keep you warm when you hit those highly air conditioned areas. Shoes? Something that slides off and on easy. What does that look like? Something like … [Read more...]
Animal Shoes
For me, there is no better neutral then animal. Gimme some leopard and I'll pair it with anything. A sprinkle of animal is a MUST! And today I'm sprinkling it in with some shoes. I've had these Tory Burch booties for about 3 years now, I THINK, maybe 4? and I wear them with EVERYTHING. Forget the basic brown or black, try any one of these with anything and everything. If you've never considered it, consider it now. And I … [Read more...]
Feeling Blue
Feeling a bit blue, so I thought I'd sprinkle some into our wardrobes and our homes.... ...well, I've been seeing more and more blues around lately, so I had to share some pretties! Blouse / Purse / Lamp / Pillow / Ring / Necklace / Mirror … [Read more...]
3.1 Phillip Lim for Target
In case you weren't aware, Target's latest collaboration was with Phillip Lim and I made my way out to my favorite super store this morning to check things out and see what needed to come home with me.... This beautiful BIG number came home with me for the hubs (I guess you can tell travel is on my mind).... A few others that made their way into my life.... and this.... that I styled like … [Read more...]

Day to Night in Paris
I had always seen articles in magazines on outfits DAY to NIGHT but I had never said to myself, SELF, WHY DON'T WE TRY THIS SOMETIME JUST CUZ. Doesn't work that way. But this summer, I found myself in the situation where I DID have to do a day to night look. Oh boy! How did it go? Like this.... It began with a simple white tank (the wifebeater), a simple black skirt, and Rosie (my bag that went everywhere with me). Now, I wore … [Read more...]
Jogger Pants
I have been eyeing this style for quite some time, and as in the case with lots of fashion trends, they make it to the US after it's seen in Europe. So while I was away, I snatched up these pants that I've been wanting but have had a hard time finding. Now... let me clarify... I struggled with what in the world to call these.... JOGGERS? HAREM? (noooo... my crotch isn't sagging with these!) POOFY? So I called them Joggers (even though those … [Read more...]
M & M of Pop Culture
M & M. Miley and Macklemore. (dear daughter comes home the other day from school saying "I have to compare and contrast"... well, in a nutshell, this could be considered just that....) Miley Cyrus. Need I say any more? I try to post things on my blog to be inspiring, positive, informative, beneficial for our lives in some way shape or form. Well, this is something I felt like I had to have a mini vent on. I don't know how far our … [Read more...]
Zara in Greece and Fish
I'd like to call this a Flashback Friday post because I'm thinking back to some recent days of shopping in the mother land. And because now that my kids school has begun, it's back to routine and the daily grind of life. Ahhhhh, the reminiscing of days of travel are good feelings, so I plan on sprinkling a bit of that here and there as an escape. After all, who doesn't need an escape every once in a while, right? And being that we all love … [Read more...]
Pinning Catch Up
I was gone for a good part of the summer, and while I was away, I was selective with how I spend my time on the internet. So I've been playing catch up with Pinterest and have been becoming addicted... again. It's one of those things that once I start, I have a hard time putting down. Anyone relate? And it really is a destresser because it's a pretty mindless action to just scroll and pin.. scroll and pin. I mean, who doesn't like to look at … [Read more...]
These Boots Were Made for Walkin
See if you can guess what store was the FIRST store I ventured into upon coming back to the states? DING DING DING!!! If you guessed TARGET you win $10,000!!! HA! But seriously, we all know how great of a store that is, right? As I made my way down the aisles, these were all lined up and jumped out at me. Here are some of the cool new looks for fall (yes... I said the F word... is it getting close to that time already???) that I saw, and it … [Read more...]
In the News… Gladiators.
Being that I'm in the motherland and have had not such great internet, I am becoming less and less "social" per-se. And to be quite honest, I've been so busy with family (we can leave that for another post!) that between that, trying to NOT eat too much, and catching up on sleep, the internet hasn't been at the top of my to-do. Sometimes we need to UN-PLUG and decompress. But, of course, in the back of my mind, all of you lovies are here and I … [Read more...]
