Loving the Look of Faux Shearling

February 16, 2017 No Comments

I really love the look and feel of faux shearling. You can wear faux shearling or you can decorate with it. I love that you can wear a faux shearling vest with short or long sleeve shirts. You can dress down an outfit with a faux shearling jacket or dress up a pair of pants or a dress with a sleek black faux shearling vest. Faux shearling jackets and vests come in many beautiful styles and colors. Not only are they stylist, but they are so soft. I also love that you can wear them in the fall, winter, and spring… basically anytime it’s cold! […]

Take cues from these gal pals: Courtney Cox, Jennifer Aniston, and Lisa Kudrow, or Leighton Meester and Blake Lively, or […]

Dressing my Dress Form with Butterflies

February 10, 2017 No Comments

Spring is right around the corner and I’m going through my closet pulling out some of my favorite spring pieces. With Spring, comes lovely pastel colors and sweet patterns, like this bitterly dress shirt. Today on the blog, I’m sharing one of my weekend favorites – jeans and a dress shirt. Today’s dress form outfit features a shirt from Forever 21, jeans from G by Giuliana (purchased on HSN), and lace-up wedge sandals. My name {Vanessa} means butterfly and I just gravitated to this shirt. I wear is a lot throughout the year, especially in the Spring and Summer months. The pastel […]

Man of Style: Outlander’s Sam Heughan

February 8, 2017 2 Comments

“You do have to learn how to wear a kilt, and it’s certainly very liberating and very freeing, but surprisingly very comfortable to wear, to ride a horse in a kilt. I was surprised by that.” – Sam Heughan, actor in Outlander I have always been a sucker for accents. British, Irish, Scottish, Australian, French, Italian, or even a good ol’ Southern accent {like my husband}. My cousin, Dallas, got me hooked on the Starz series, Outlander, and this series introduced me to Sam Heughan. He portrays the rugged Highlander, Jamie Fraser. His accent had me hooked! Those eyes and that […]
