When I think of travel style, especially somewhere tropical and beachy and warm, I think the clothes need to be light, refreshing, cool, and fresh. And what am I loving this season? Off the shoulder dresses, of course. So here's something for your island style. I don't wear a lot of navy, but the pieces I have I really like because they seem "softer" with the detail or colors they're put together with. This dress has the white eyelet that … [Read more...]

Meet Oklahoma weather. Amidst rain and earthquakes, we have sleet and ice storms. Yup. No major inches of snow that last for weeks. Just icicles dripping from leaves and branches of trees.

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.

What To Wear: The Cold Shoulder
I've always had a thing for the cold shoulder. No, I'm not blowing you off. The "cold shoulder" is where there's a cut out by the shoulders on a top. It's a unique little touch that revealed a little bit of skin, while covering up. Almost as if you're playing "peek a boo", and a hint of sexy. If you're looking for that kind of feeling, then buy one of these tops. It's how it makes me feel (wink!). Anything revealing any bit of the shoulder … [Read more...]
What To Wear: Halston Heritage Fit and Flare
I recently went back home, home as in my young childhood home to Chicago, where a huge part of my big fat Greek family resides, for a big fat Greek wedding.
