A Friday fashion follow up to THIS and the wishy washy weather made me pull out my cape of 3 years for the FIRST time. I snipped the tags and wore it... and LOVED it! I will say... the only thing hard about a cape is carrying a SHOULDER bag, but I still made it work. It was doable. Mine is actually a deep charcoal wool and I wore the ever so coveted KISS T-shirt underneath from … [Read more...]

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...]
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...]

I've done some posting on her before HERE, HERE and HERE. Here's a snippet of the DVF show from Neiman Marcus via Instagram Download video: MP4 format showcasing DVF And, from … [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...]
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...]
Paris Fashion on the Streets, Part 2
Last week I shared with you Paris fashion, street style HERE. Here is PART DEUX... Some more random shots of Parisian style. and of course, Paris wouldn't be complete with a pair of lovers... I did my best to snap shots of people without them noticing, and of course in various parts of the city, … [Read more...]
Paris Fashion on the Streets, Part 1
I was SO taken by Paris and as I had said before SO overstimulated, I was taken by every sight, every smell, every sound. And of course, fashion is definitely a huge part of that. So much so that the sneaky side of me was coming out (driving the family INSANE, by the way!), that I tried to take pictures of strangers on the streets to share with you. This one shot I think defines it all... Isn't she absolutely FABULOUS???? What you … [Read more...]
Gladiator Sandals
from Stuart Weitzman or these.... ELLIE 120-MAX Knee-High Multistrap Women's Flat Sandal with Zipper Here is my take on these.... I got these a few years ago at Victoria's Secret, but never wore them. Love em or leave em? Yes or no? Please chime in. The hubs can't stand them. And every time I wear them I get looks, points and comments. Personally, none of that bothers me, but I'd love to know what my … [Read more...]
You Don’t Need a Baby for This Bag
I shared with you some of my travel essentials HERE, but what I didn't really elaborate on is THE BAG. The bag is HUGE. I mean, ladies, let's face it, our bags are huge with NO travel. So when we TRAVEL and have to have all of our gear and s**t in it, you KNOW it has to be big, roomy, and make a statement! When I tell you what my ULTIMATE bag is, you'll die. Are you ready? A DIAPER bag. Yes. You read that right. You don't have to be a … [Read more...]
A Subtle Snake Dress
Don't think this slithery amphibian is something to fear. I got this Rebecca Taylor dress I think last year, and it's comfy t-dress that one of my favorites in my closet. I also love the subtle python print on it. Not only that, the shirring on the sides makes it really figure flattering. I know certain body shapes are best with certain styles, and this style is one I like for myself quite a bit. I can dress myself in this snake any … [Read more...]

Mixing Up Staples
Perfect for a spring luncheon, a shower, a graduation party, here's a little ensemble I put together. I used a few staples I have in my closet. A basic white crinkle skirt and my favorite nude shoes. To that, anything can be added. The best part of all this, some of this might be higher dollar, the others, not so much. For real... you'll laugh when you check out my blouse... My skirt I've had for a few years... my first … [Read more...]
