New Hairstyle, New Me?
“I think that the most important thing a woman can have – next to talent, of course – is her hairdresser.” – Joan Crawford Every few months, I get a bee in my bonnet and I think about getting a new hairstyle. The problems with that are (1) I have naturally curly hair that does not want to be straight, (2) I don’t have the side-profile for short hair, and (3) I am totally afraid of getting my hair cut short (again). But would a new hairstyle make me feel like a “new me?” Earlier this week, I dove head […]
I’m Blushing…
I really loved the blush-toned color trend of spring, and I think this color has transitioned well into summer. Some people call it rose quartz while others call it blush. However you define this color, it is simply elegant. You can wear blush in many ways, and you can even decorate using blush-toned colors. I love the blush-toned outfits.

Man of Style: Tom Hiddleston

I can’t.” Because of Kyra’s undying love for all things “TH”, I have decided to honor Tom Hiddleston as the first “Man of Style” in a new monthly series by the same name. Tom Hiddleston is an English actor. […]
Charming Charlie had Me at Navy & Green
I am attending a blogger conference in August in Los Angeles and wanted to get a couple of low maintenance dresses. I have some shift dresses that I plan on taking, but they are more day dresses. I wanted something a little dressier. Once Sunday afternoon, when my husband and I went to the mall, I walked into Charming Charlie and found this silky soft dress. It is not something I would normally buy, but I’m trying to step out of my comfort zone (i.e., black dresses, black jeans, black shirts, etc.). This is the front of the dress. This […]
