denim and leather

November 4, 2014

Hell just froze over. I’m actually wearing a faux leather skirt and even worse – I like it. My first thought when leather reemerged on the trendy fashion scene was “no way, I’m too old”. Leather pants and skirts are for women in their 20’s who don’t have kids. I…

the perfect plaid

October 31, 2014

When plaid button downs first emerged on the fashion scene, I had flashbacks of the 90’s grunge scene with Nirvana and Pearl Jam. I rolled my eyes and crossed my fingers that the fad would quickly pass into more feminine trends. Well here we are – several seasons later, and…

October 23, 2014

I recently spoke to a fabulous group of ladies about fall fashion and was surprised to learn that so many of these stylish gals did not wear scarves. I was shocked. I assumed that scarves were the staple of cold weather accessories in a women’s wardrobe. Well you know what happens…

meet leona

May 15, 2014

I stumbled across designer Lauren Leonard (of Leona Collection) in a weak moment of “I’m going back to work full time” a few years ago. Their home office was hiring and I was firing myself from being a stay at home mom after the 20th tantrum of the day. After…

mellow yellow

March 19, 2014

Yellow is a sleeper hit this spring. As a past season favorite, yellow is a perfect neutral and can act as a blank canvas for any outfit. Just like every color, finding the perfect tone of yellow for your complexion can be tricky so don’t give up on finding the…

in with the old

February 20, 2014

Today’s look features some pieces I have owned for a few years now. I pulled them out during the closet remix challenge and gave them a little life again. It’s good to keep some classic pieces from year to year as long as they are in good shape. How do…
