What Are You Doing…New Years Eve…….(I’m singing)
“What Are You Doing New Year’s Eve?” Don’t you love that song by Ella Fitzgerald? It’s SUCH a classic. The other classic in our family is, “Holiday Inn” starring Bing Crosby and Fred Astaire. We watch that movie on any holiday….not just Christmas :). I will say, we missed it this year, so if by […]

Brand Spotlight Herve Leger!
Gals, I love doing a “brand spotlight” because it may just introduce you to a designer you didn’t know or a designer you thought you’d NEVER wear. Herve Leger is not an old, classic brand. It was created by the French designer, Herve Peugnet in the 1980’s….is that a surprise? It absolutely represents what we […]
An Oldie But a Goodie…..Lilly Pulitzer!

What Shoes Do I Wear With Straight Jeans?
Gals, Straight jeans or “mom jeans” or whatever you want to call them are back. They are the EXACT same thing that everyone wore in the 80’s and 90’s. Yikes! Generally speaking, straight jeans are more laid back and roomy than a pair of skinnies. If you are tired of wearing tight, skinny jeans, then […]
Can I Wear Navy Blue and Black Together?
Gals, Can you wear navy and black together?? YES!! Navy and black are kinda in the same color family – WINTER. If you have had your colors done, you know what I mean :).
