Fashion :: Summer Essentials to Look and Feel Great!
Peonies are in season (yippee!!), the weather is warmer (with the exception of SoCal where we have the “June Gloom”. Grrr.), barbecue’s are happening every weekend and days at the pool and beach are starting to become a regular occurance. Summer may not officially be here but it is fun to prepare and think about adding a few summer essentials to get you started. You don’t need much to look cool, comfortable and polished. A denim short. This looks great with a t-shirt, a crisp white shirt or even a flowy blouse. I like that this one has a longer…

Inexpensive Ways to Update Yourself and Home for Spring
Spring, ahhh… a fresh start. There is a lighter mood to Spring. We trade in our heavy sweaters for a lighter jacket, our boots for perhaps a sandal. Even the smallest of change can make you feel good and it doesn’t have to break the bank. A little something to celebrate the new season. It can be as small as a new nail polish shade, a new lipstick or changes around your home. There are a few ways that I like to do this. image courtesy of pinterest Brighten Up the Place With Flowers: Nothing says Spring like flowers, right? I love love love flowers in my home and…

Fashion :: Update Your Spring Wardrobe With Some Fun Pieces
Image found on Pinterest Spring has sprung? Hmm. The calendar says Spring is here but the temps across the country (and even here in SoCal) don’t seem to be following the seasonal plan. It is actually colder here than it has been in weeks! While the weather is not neccesssarily cooperating, I am still excited and looking forward to the warmer temps and the change in wardrobe. I always find myself challenged as the seasons change and winter to spring is certainly no exception.It can be a little tricky to transition your wardrobe so it’s important to have pieces that can take you from one season to…

Fashion :: What to Wear to an Event
Image courtesy of CasaSugar We have all received invitations to different types of events at one time or another. Whether it be cocktail, business casual ( I just went to one of those), smart casual (pardon?) or black tie. I am often asked what to wear to certain events. You can never go wrong with the “little black dress, but I like to put a twist on it or step out of that comfort zone all together. I know that might seem scary and , of course, feeling comfortable no matter what the event is the most important thing. I have put together a some looks that will…

Fashion :: Golden Globes 2014
Award season is upon us and it is a big deal in my house…for me. It is what football is to my husband. The Golden Globes are like the playoffs and the the Oscars are the Super bowl. My favorite part has to be the arrival of actors on the red carpet. I think I may even prefer it more than the actual award show. I am always so excited to see what my favorite designers have put together for the actors. The dresses they are wearing are not just any dresses. Some of them have been specifically created by the designer with that person in mind. They are usually…

Fall Fashion Trends 2013 :: Leather!
Finally,finally,finally the weather here has cooled down. Today was the first day it felt appropriate to actually have a pumpkin spice latte! Now that the temperatures are getting cooler, I am especially excited to wear one of the biggest trends this fall which is leather and faux leather. When I was in my early 20’s and living in New York City (showing my age now), I had 3 (yes 3) motorcycle jackets. How I wished that I had maybe one of them now?! Alas, I have found some great replacements of not only a motorcycle jacket (now referred to as “the moto”) but of some other fun key…
