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.

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...]

Oversized Bee Ring is on trend for 2018. When it comes to jewelry trends I like to follow the old adage, "keep it simple". You get the idea.

And remember jewelry is for having fun and adding a bit of sparkle, shine and breaking up the norm. Hoop Earrings That's right. They are back!

What Goes Around Comes Around: The Choker
Ah, the choker. How I loved them. Back in the mid-90's! Oh yeah- Pearl Choker from Prom 1994 and Winter Dance 1993. Because what is old is new we have this latest trend that was even seen on Erin Andrews during the Super Bowl. Source: Fox Sports Each time a trend comes back around again, the choker included, it gets tweaked. Initially, I was all, "Nope, not gonna do it." I was over it. It wasn't one I wanted to repeated. Then I saw these from Shopbop and capitulated. I really love it with simple necklines. Pair it wish a straight neckline and blazer like Erin or peeking out from an open collar. Meet my new favorite chokers. No more black ribbons, no pendants. No crafting included. Just pure gold. The Choker Trend by victoriamason featuring a choker … [Read more...]
The Pajama Blouse
I'm a little bit obsessed with the Pajama Blouse right now. As in I want one for every day of the month. There is something about the month of December that makes me want to simultaneously wrap myself in gorgeous fabrics like soft silks,jewel-encrusted rings and velvet shoes while also being so comfortable I feel like I'm wearing loungewear. The pajama blouse can be all those things all at once. I purchased one in an emerald plaid pajama blouse from the most recent Shopbop sale and the idea of wearing it with a pair of loafers and jeans is quite perfect for a work at home day.
