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...]
Blush Bags
If you've followed me for any bit of time, you know one of the colors I'm into for many things is nudes. This coming spring, one of the hottest colors you'll see out there is Blush. I consider it an offshoot from the nudes because it goes with just about everything and every skintone, it has that hint of pink that makes it a bit sweeter. So I call it "blush nude" As we're building our wardrobe, planning towards the next season, I think a … [Read more...]
Traveling? Look At These Bags
Anyone who knows me knows I call myself the "bag whore." I am not kidding you. Bags are my thing. For some women it's shoes, and yes, I can't say I don't love shoes, but there's something about wearing a great bag that I love. I can't have enough. … being my authentic self here… I've gotten messages from people saying I need help (I kid you not!), none needed, thanks! HA! But I look at them as fabulous accessories that have a form and … [Read more...]
I confess…
I have a serious problem. Ok. Well, many who have known me for a long time know I have a couple of serious problems, right? Well, I'm coming here publicly now to confess to one of them. Purses. This is just one obsession. Truly. I'll purge some other "issues" I have with you on future episodes of THE OP LIFE Therapy for Irene. But for now, let's stick with this matter at hand. The fact that a new spring season is upon us isn't helping … [Read more...]
Word Up
I always had a love for t-shirts that have had some fun wording across the front. Throwing on those fun casual t's with some jeans and great boots has been a staple look for me. But bringing on those fun phrases into our accessories? I think I'm in LOVE! Whimsy, fun, can be used for SO many things, I think I'll take one of each! .... Last spring, I indulged in Kate Spade's clutches (#3, #4) because I couldn't pick just ONE. Rebecca Minkoff … [Read more...]
Five thoughts for Friday.
1. Well, I guess you could consider this a mini vacation week.... after no internet and being told my hard drive crashed (when it just over heated I'm THINKING? because it's working ok NOW?), I did no blog posting yesterday. No TV to watch, (which I'm not a HUGE tv person), AND my twitter got hacked (which you can't change the PW on a mobile app. Nice, right?... you need to be at a real COMPUTER with INTERNET to fix that). Forgive all the … [Read more...]
Bag Lady
Purses are my thang. You don't want to know how many times a day I browse all these sites that email me with their "one day" specials, or "featured vintage designers" they have for me to drop some change with them. I'm always hunting.... no need to gather any more, but hunting for great styles, unique looks, and of course, I gotta have a bargain. Seasons changing, I put the big orange Marc Jacobs away (I call her "the pumpkin") because when … [Read more...]
