Here are a few sightings in my home (not including all my mirrored furniture that has both silver and gold.... ) ... a few things I spotted at our local fabulous West Elm... ... and of course some online window … [Read more...]
Hat Style: The Fedora
I was recently tagged in a Facebook post to advise on stylish winter hats. So I thought maybe more people had issues as to what to do when you don't wanna wash your hair, you don't wanna bun it or put it in a ponytail, and you really want more style than a baseball cap. So I'm getting into fedoras. While I bought my first one last winter and wore it only once, I'm breaking into this … [Read more...]

Shop Your Closet: Joggers and a Graphic-T
This weather is just not wanting to make up it's mind. One day it's in the 90's, and the next it's in the 60's. So how's a girl to dress? Technically, it's not OFFICIALLY fall, but with the drops in temps, and the fact that it's post Labor Day, we know we need to be more "fall-ish". So shopping my closet, picking my olive green satin cargo joggers I got last summer at Zara in Greece, I paired it with one of my favorite love T-shirts from … [Read more...]
Nails in the Nude
One of this season's trending colors is a blush, dusty rose, nude. In fashion and in beauty. Personally, those of you who know me know that nude lips is my classic favorite.

I kinda … [Read more...]

When I spot a deal, I grab it and keep it for when I need it. Then, when I need to wear something either for a special occasion or just to have something fresh and different, I just shop my closet.

Greys, Grays and Golds in the Home
I've never been into the whole "matchy-matchy" thing when it comes to interior design. And I've always loved these two colors combined... gray and gold (or grey and gold, depending on where you live). I love the warmth the golds bring into a space to offset the coolness of the grey tones. There are sprinkles of this all throughout my house, but I wanted to show you some other fancies around... Some in bigger ways, other in the littlest … [Read more...]
