When you’re out and about shopping for clothes for yourself, keep in mind how long they’ll last you. If you’re buying something trendy, buy in moderation and be picky.  Always shop and stick to the basics and you’ll have a versatile wardrobe that will look stylish year around no matter what the next new trend is.
One of my wardrobe staples are cardigans. I can’t get enough of them and buy a few every year to add to my collection. Whether they’re simple and solid, cropped or long, knit or woven, wrapped or buttoned – nothing is cozier during …read more

I fell in love with the nostalgic-style photos on the Anthropologie website that featured outfits that incorporated their newest cold weather items like colorful soft sweaters, scarves, hats, and gloves.  This image was my absolute favorite!  I think this scarf is absolutely fabulous…
The Pockets-A-Plenty Scarf is a 74″ long ribbed taupe scarf that is adorned with tons of knobby pockets and knots.  This is such a whimsical piece that there is even a tiny little red knit bird that hangs from a pocket and just welcomes you to find a perch for him amongst your pocket baubles.  Adorable!

You can love them or hate them, but stirrups are officially back.  About three years ago I really really wanted to wear stirrup tights and I couldn’t find them anywhere.  I had to either pull my footless tights down around my heels or go to a dance store and buy the real kind that are functional for dancing.  I didn’t need anything functional, I just liked the way that they looked!  I am so excited to see that the trend has caught on and now finally stirrup tights are available everywhere!
Here are some of my favorites…

One of the first bags I bought myself was a black bag (a black LV Epi Speedy, to be specific) and it has seen me through a lot of years and seasons.

I was on the Anthroplogie website today and noticed this lovely bag by Jonathan Liberty.

Wine and chocolate. That seems to be the prevailing theme for most of the fall handbag collections. The rich and saturated colours of deep reds, raspberry, purples, violets and plums and the decadent shades of dark, light and milk chocolate. It’s enough to make your mouth water!

Want to get your best friend a fabulous bag she’ll be able to use everywhere and whenever? Sure you can spend upwards of $500 but not a lot of people can splurge that much these days so it’s always great when you find lesser priced bags.

This straw newsboy at Anthropologie is a great combination of adorable summer hat styles.
This handwoven straw cap has a beautiful raspberry ribbon with colorful stitched flowers.  This is a very unique hat with the thick woven straw construction that is usually seen in the oversized floppy sun hats that have been popular this summer.  The Flower Stand Newsboy uses the same material in a short-billed newsboy for a more practical hat that could be worn for sun protection or fashion.
Flower Stand Newsboy $38
This hat would be adorable paired with a casual boyish look.  I would wear soft distressed boyfriend jeans, …read more
