Supporting Breast Cancer Awareness

October 3, 2017 1 Comment

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Thousands of people will participate in their local Susan G. Komen races/walks this month. Knoxville’s is on October 21st. I will be walking/running to honor the women in my family who have been affected by breast cancer, as well as the dozens of breast cancer patients and survivors that I have worked with over the past few years. I had two aunts who bravely battled breast cancer. My Aunt Juanita was a 20+ year survivor before she was diagnosed with either pancreatic or liver cancer a few years ago. My other aunt, Barbara, battled […]

Gigi Hadid has been on and in every fashion magazine over the past three years, since she was signed to IMG Models in 2013. She has walked probably hundreds of catwalks in fashion shows around the world, from New York to London, and from Paris to Milan.

Her casual, cool style is one that you can replicate any day of the week. Take this look below, for example. She paired a sleek white blazer […]

12 Cute One-Piece Swimsuits for Summer

April 24, 2017 No Comments

After I found the perfect bikini when I was in junior high school, I have not put on a one-piece swimsuit since. That bikini was blue and had big plastic rings on the sides of the bottoms and in the middle of the triangle top. I totally rocked it back then. Now I’m a lot curvier and I am only comfortable in a bikini laying out on my back porch out in the country, where no one can see me. So what’s a gal like me to do to get ready for summer pool-time? Search for the perfect one-piece, that’s what! […]

That’s a Wrap

March 7, 2017 No Comments

There are certain pieces of clothing in my wardrobe that I absolutely love, and one of those is my wrap dress. It is is a mix of femininity and sexiness. The wrap dress accentuates the body with flattering cuts and demure styles while showing just the right amount of cleavage and leg. The most iconic wrap dresses are designed by Diane von Furstenberg. In 1974, a 26-year-old Diane created the iconic wrap dress. It’s a dress made of often colorful and elaborately patterned jersey material that wraps around the body, crosses at the chest and cinches at the waist. Diane has […]

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! […]
