Vintage Finds
At the end of June, I try to break out my fabulous vintage finds — my treasure chest of lacy dresses, peter pan collars, double-breasted jackets with exposed zips, and denim cut-offs like these from Asos, and live life a little more simply. What I love about summer is you can... Read More
Absoleggy Fabulous for Spring
Hashtag #Absoleggy. I just made up my own word. Definition: a term used to describe a person with toned abs and long luscious legs. I am about to drop the bomb on you. The proper lady-like à la 1960’s suburban housewife trend is back in fashion, as you know by... Read More
Foot Stompin’
Among the many manifestos that I have made this past season; most notably wide-leg pants, mixing prints, oversized coats, and over-the-top fur, I have not forgotten about what has been occurring below ankle level.

Layering 101
I have yet to show up at an event naked, but it takes some brain work to get from shower to closet to what am I going to wear today to fully dressed to deciding on my location du jour. I started this not so skillfully mined layering story with... Read More
Run With It
If you have been following my blog, it is not really my style to write about athletic wear. Why? Because I wear it everyday to workout. It’s really boring. Most moms with kids at school prance around in their ubiquitous black Lululemon leggings all day after they go to the... Read More
A Fashion Costume for Halloween
Halloween is hauntingly near, exactly 4 days away, and if you, like me, are saving your costume prep for the last minute, fret no more. We do have the weekend. Every year I am faced with the inevitable challenge of coming up with the perfect Halloween costume. Ideally, I choose... Read More
Fall Trends
As the long beachy days slowly wane, I am wistful that summer is just about over. Yet at the same time, I am excited about the new prospects that fall always brings. For all of you fashionettes, there is no season that offers more reasons to get out of bed... Read More
