Fashion by Kate Spade

It’s really no secret that I’m all for this designing lady. There have been so many pics of her creations on my site. Today is all about a classic lavender dress and the purrfect purse for you cat lovers. I just couldn’t pass them up, so I tied them together with two Alexis Bittar bangles and strolled over to a …

What Does Summer Mean to You?

To me, it means enjoying every last ray of sunshine and not taking a single moment for granted. I’m a strong believer in the concept that you have to slow down enough in life to see the beauty in front of you. The beauty of the sun melting into the sky blew me away when I took these shots. I …

The Girls Are Here

That’s Colbie, Rebecca and me;) For today’s Fashion Friday post, I edited together a little Instagram video of me wearing a Rebecca Taylor dress with a beautiful sunset and Colbie Caillat song for  the backdrop. https://instagram.com/p/5Px13oCfAN/ This dress is perfect for sitting, standing, and twirling. I wore it to something that was slated as a dinner event but morphed into …

Men’s Fashion Week

Three words that mean superstar in the male modeling industry…Lucky Blue Smith. He’s the seventeen-year-old with the bleached pompadour and steely blue eyes who regularly has nearby girls screaming like an A-list member of young Hollywood is in their midst. Why has Lucky Blue suddenly become such an icon? It is luck? I don’t think so. I saw him in …

Can’t Fight the Fringe

In my opinion, the fringe craze isn’t going away anytime soon. And this BLK DNM fringe skirt might as well have had my name written on the tag, because I was drawn to it from across the store. But that doesn’t mean that I was hasty in my purchase. It was definitely a splurge item, so I waited until it …

Red, White, Blue & Blooming

In my neighborhood, people have been sprucing up their gardens in honor of July 4th. I’m a native of the USA, with neighbors from Slovania, Turkey, Japan, Greece, and more…but that doesn’t stop them from joining in the spirit of independence, so I just had to make a trip to the local nursery too. To get in the mood, I …

Going Country All Over Town

These days, a city girl can go country regardless of where she is. Fashionistas in the north, south, east, and west are all lovin’ the style. As you know, I had a country theme last week in honor of the CMA Music Festival. I thought that was the end of my Nashville nostalgia, but I kept seeing the influence everywhere, …

Country & Western Style

This is the last day of my country-theme week, and I couldn’t think of a better way to end than with fringe fashion. It’s very in this season. How much fringe you flaunt depends on whether you want to go for a subtle country style, or all out. I was obviously a total country girl with this ensemble. My fringed …

Country Lovin’

With the CMA Music Festival kicking off a summer full of fests, I’m everything country this week on my blog. Today is all about the sassy Miranda Lambert. If you think you can ride in her little red wagon, think again. And if you’re a Miranda fan, like me, then you know exactly what song I’m referring to. Unfortunately, I …

Fashion with a Slice of Sass

I had fun with my editing program overlaying images of blue sky, clouds, and palm trees for today’s theme of fashion, foliage, and sass. Something about the weather warming up always entices a girl to head out in shorts and a carefree top. This blouse by ASTR is what I call Stealth Sass. Sections of it are sheer, but they’re …

Basking in the Sun with Jessica Simpson…

Okay, not really! But if you can’t get poolside with the designer in person, the second best option is to wear one of her creations. I love this bathing suit of hers. Sometimes, I find that the most flattering suits feel like armor. They suck me in here, push me up there, and pretty soon, I realize that in one …

Thriving Style

“I started the business and called it Ted Baker because I thought, from day one, that it would be a failure, and I didn’t want to be ‘Ray Kelvin the bankrupt.’” Founder of one amazing U.K. brand, Ted Baker. I love that quote because it shows that fear of failure is no reason to not try. But Ray Kelvin had …

Classy, Creative Charlotte Olympia

Yesterday, I was taking a break and scanning through a magazine when I spied a picture of the lovely Charlotte Olympia. That got me reminiscing about when I met this glamorous lady, so I decided to showcase her spring/summer shoe collection on this Fashion Friday. I call it “sorbet style” because Charlotte dipped her shoes in those hues—and I can’t think of …

Opening of Boating Season

You don’t have to be a sailor to join in the fun of boating season! You don’t even have to board a vessel. I often join friends for a waterfront picnic at a local park while watching the boats sail by as the sun sets. And you can stay in step with the season even when you’re away from the …

Bring on the Blazers

With a color named Red Samba, you know this Harlowe and Graham blazer can make any girl feel red-hot! I loved all the boyfriend-cut jackets in the music video Uptown Funk, so I just had to get one. Then I noticed that Bruno Mars was wearing a similar style and color to mine in his Ellen appearance. Naturally, I chose …
