How to: White after Labor Day

If you haven’t already, throw that rule away! You can always wear white after Labor Day. I mean, geeze, it was 90 degrees out when I was taking these pictures, there was NO way I was putting on fall clothes. Honestly, I may even go to the beach this weekend. My rule of thumb is, if I can still wear shorts, I can wear white. And then there’s winter white too. I digress. Now that I’m done with that, lets take a look at this week’s outfit. Blazer: New York and Co., similar, similar | Top: Nordstrom | Shorts: H&M | Shoes:…

Fashion Friday Blues

Don’t worry it’s not a miserable post, ‘blues’ is just referring to my shoes, duh. I love having a pop of color. Cobalt blue is something we’re going to see a lot of in Fall fashion, and I can’t say I hate it. I recently purchased this amazing pair of Stewart Weitzman heels and could not wait until fall to wear them. Take a look.. Top: Theory | Belt: Gucci | Denim: Hudson | Shoes: Stewart Weitzman, similar I LOVE cobalt blue, or any bright blue for that matter, worn with all black. I also love how the leather…

Designer Jewelry Exposed

Some of my favorite pieces of jewelry are made by designers that don’t specialize in jewelry and create pieces with far from fine components. Now that you know and understand a little more about fine jewelry, (if you don’t know what I’m talking about check out these posts, here and here) I’m going to talk about designer jewelry. Fortunately or unfortunately, designer and fine are not interchangeable terms. What do I mean? Lets take a better look.. Hermes bangle One of my VERY favorites is the hermes bangle. First off, if these were solid, genuine 24k gold, you could bet…

Fashion Friday: Blazer Obsessed

Hello and Happy Friday! I literally cannot stop buying blazers, I just can’t! I’m not going to be happy until I have one in each shade of every color. Blazers always complete the look for me, and they do it so much better than cardigans most of the time. My next look is something I would wear out to lunch or just casual on the weekend. Take a look.. Blazer: ASOS | Top: Gap | Denim: Hudson | Shoes: Stuart Weitzman, similar | Bag: Chanel It was hard for me to pair the off white blazer with a white tank, but it just worked…

Fashion Friday: The Boyfriend Jean

It’s Friday the most loved day of the week, DUH. And guess who has the weekend off? ME! Sorry, I worked in retail a long time, it’s hard getting used to having weekends off. It used to be such a luxury. Anyway, on to what you probably thought I’d be talking about, boyfriend jeans. So boyfriend jeans NEVER look cute on me. I have no idea why. I mean what wouldn’t look cute on me. Kidding! HA. So these aren’t jeans you can go out and buy, (sorry) I had to cut them myself. (Annoying) We’ll lets take a look..…
