My Christmas Wishlist

I'm not big on Christmas or any of the holidays that roll around in December.  For me, Halloween and Thanksgiving are where it is at.  I love the weather, the vibrant colors, and the food.  The fact that I can usually wear something colorful, cute, and elegant without a coat is also a major plus in my book. However, I'm inevitably asked by my family what I want for Christmas.  Honestly, I never know what to ask for or tell them.  I should make a 'NO SHOPPING' moratorium on myself from August to December just so I can have something to add to a wishlist.  *Note to self: DON'T SHOP next year. Either that or think of experiences you want. Nevertheless, here we are.  Another year, another request for a wishlist.  And a request to buy something that is not books or candles.  That right … [Read more...]

All About Orange: Fashion Trend for 2020

In 1992 I picked up an orange Ralph Lauren sweater from a Macy's clearance sale. I wore that sweater until well into the 2000s.  It was soft, warm and the color made me feel good.  It wasn't long after that I picked up a canvas windbreaker from J.Crew in the same orange hue.  The 90s had a thing for orange. It's no surprise that we are back here again.  2020 is all about orange. It's Orange and I'm in Love Here are just a few of my favorite orange picks.  Orange is a burst of color that makes you feel happy. It looks great on your tips or your toes.  Pick out an orange tote, set of shades, or beach towel to take with you to the beach or pool this summer season. Kick up your neutral stay-at-home look with some orange slides.  There are so many ways to wear orange this season … [Read more...]

What to Pack for a Four Day Trip

I have a four-day trip planned later this week I will be flying for two days and working for two days.  I created this 'What to Pack for a Four Day Trip' piece to help me pick out what to wear as well as help you too. I plan to keep everything condensed to a carry on bag.  I will have my work bag and a cross-body purse as well.  That's it.  Two pairs of shoes and I'm done. And yes, this does include activewear to actually be active in. First, I love this Calpak bag. It's been one of the best items I have ever bought from Shopbop.

Faux Fur Favorites

I can't explain and really what need to I have to do so? I absolutely adore faux fur.  Coats, gloves trimmed in faux fur, hats, scarves, all of it.  I can't get enough.  I'm so glad that this season is indulging me so much too. Last week I pulled out my faux fur scarf and snood.  I draped myself in the leopard coat I bought from Shopbop on sale back in July. My children were and are still mortified.  Buy some coats from the affiliate links to pay for their therapy later, would you? Then my husband surprised me with this black beauty.  As he came in from a hug and a kiss after a long day he draped it over my shoulders and I couldn't stop smiling and laughing. I wore it for a solid hour in my house. I might get one just to use as a bathrobe. I love it that much. My children don't … [Read more...]
