Hello loves! It's been a while since you've heard from me over here, as I've been busy hustling over at Honestly Margo, and it's a wonderful thing, but I've missed you! I woke up in the middle of the night saying to myself, this is one of the simplest fashion tips I can share with all of you in a jiffy. So I whipped out my laptop at 4 am, and here I am! I'm excited to show you how to wear animal print. Why am I saying this is so easy to … [Read more...]
Feminine and Fierce
Leather can be very feminine and not so fierce, and still be stylish and badass. It all depends on how you do it. Pink and black I think always is feminine and fierce, like yin and yang. No matter what's going on in our lives, we need to wear something that makes us feel amazing. This is one of those looks. For me, it makes me feel fresh, sexy, feminine and fierce. I feel strong, able and capable to handle anything … [Read more...]
The One Look You Need For Your Wardrobe
We hear about the LBD. I've written about them before. Will share more about them again. It's definitely a must have. But you don't have to have a LBD to get that polished look. My secret to looking pulled together, chic, classy, classic and stylish? I call it my "M&M's" of fashion. Monochrome and minimalist. Wear it to church, as I did. Wear it to a luncheon. Wear it to dinner. Wear to a business appointment. Wear it to a … [Read more...]

Wear This: WhoWhatWear plus Shop Your Closet
It's no secret I have an affinity for the WhoWhatWear Collection for Target. I love that these pieces have style, they're up with the trends, yet not "trendy" and so dated that we'll get tired of them in 6 months. I also love that I can wear them being my age, and yet so can a gal way younger than me, as well as a woman 15 years older than me. These pieces can be worn to work then out to a dinner party. Versatile and stylish and the best part … [Read more...]

If you're looking for current and stylish, day to night, office to date … [Read more...]

What To Wear: Leopard – Spot On
What comes around goes around. Was leopard ever really OUT? I guess it all depends on how you wear it. If you bedazzle it with all kinds of stuff, then YES ... it's WAY out. But for me, it never really left. I always had a sprinkle of it here or there in my wardrobe, be it my shoes or a clutch, but definitely in my coats. I have 3 to be exact! And not one is from this season! Why do I have a full closet? This is why. Because I feel … [Read more...]

When I like something, I'll let you know it. And two things I do love are pencil skirts and bomber jackets. And I'm sharing them again. (You can see a few posts I did HERE and HERE.)

Must Have Bags
I couldn't go today without acknowledging it. It's national handbag day. Yes, we can all agree there's now a day for EVERYTHING, and some ridiculous things. But this is not a ridiculous one. Hail to the handbag, yes I said that. Why do I love them so much? I really can't answer that other than I've loved bags and looking pretty from a young age.

Wear This: The Choker
I'm all choked up about it. HA! Get it? Choked up? I'm talking about the choker. I remember wearing a brass one believe it or not in high school with a rayon pink blouse and a white mini skirt. It was one of my favorite outfits. Some things never change right? {wink!} This isn't my first preach on the choker. I've actually been a fan of them since last year but they're really making their way on the forefront in a major way this … [Read more...]
What To Wear: Whipstitch Detail
I dress to feel good. Feel sassy. Feel sophisticated. Feel sexy. Feel confident. And sometimes it's the little details that make an outfit pop. Such is the case with this whipstitch skirt. I pulled this look to wear out to dinner, to a conference, to a business meeting, even out on a date. This skirt, from Versona, is faux suede and drapes so easy on my body. I couldn't pass it up with the retro feel of the whipstitch and the front slit … [Read more...]

What To Wear: From Desk To Dinner
As much as I love fashion and style, what I love more about it is how I feel in what I wear. This is one of those dresses that makes me feel as bold as the print is. Color blocking, along with the style and cut of this dress made me feel like I could go from the boardroom to a dinner date. Do you remember THIS post I did for the grand opening of H&M? In the video I took of the event I talked about a dress I wanted to hurry up and snatch … [Read more...]
All Choked Up
One of my favorite outfits in high school, I remember it vividly, was a light pink button down loose fitting rayon blouse, a white mini skirt, and a brass choker. Big bangs were an extra free perk to go along with it! Believe it or not I can't remember the shoes, but I DO vividly remember this brass heavy choker, and what I wouldn't give to still have it now! They're back. What comes around goes around. And seriously you guys, when I said … [Read more...]
Fall Nails On Trend
via I have never been more excited about a season with regards to style coming up ahead of us like I am THIS season. First of all, for all the younger bloggers and instagrammers out there, they won't get it like those of us 40 and over will. I mean I remember wearing the things that are coming back from the 70's and 80's and it's just CRAZY! I don't know what it is about some of these earlier decades that I love, maybe it's a sense of … [Read more...]
