I love styling my dress form, changing the outfits and trying new looks, especially for date nights with my husband. Last month I posted a dress form outfit featuring a pair of black shorts styled for daytime. At the end of that post, I said that I would show you how I styled them for a date night. I have been looking for something gingham for quite some time, and being a thrifty shopper, I headed to a thrift store in Chattanooga and scored this gingham wrap top, from Beach Lunch Lounge Collection, which features voluminous bell sleeves with ruffled […]

Man of Style: Taron Egerton

Man of Style Taron Egerton

Taron Egerton plays sexy and stylish British secret service agent Gary “Eggsy” Unwin in both Kingsman: The Secret Service, and the sequel, Kingsman: The Golden Circle. In the first Kingsman movie, he is transformed from a scruffy thug into a true gentleman who wears bespoke suits, thanks to his mentor, Harry Hart, played by the charming British actor, Colin Firth. After watching the sequel this past weekend, I knew that I needed to name Taron Egerton as this month’s “Man of Style”. “I’m naturally quite a scruffy bugger, so it was lovely to have a jaunt into the world of […]
