I love an oversized sweater over a comfortable pair of jeans, but when I’m ready to go out for date night, especially during the winter, I like to slip on a stylish sweater dress. On the warmer days of winter, a sweater dress is a versatile piece that can be worn in many different ways. Combine a sweater dress with an fitted belt, leggings, or knee-high boots with socks. Combine a thin sweater dressed with slim jeans or leather pants. Wear a blazer, or a fitted or jean jacket over a maxi sweater dress. Go sexy and pair your sweater dress […]
Pleats! Yes, Please!
Pleats are so on trend right now! They are perfect for holiday parties. Pleats add a touch of fancy to any outfit! I purchased my first pleated skirt back in July. It is green and black, and hits just above my knees. I totally plan on wearing it this holiday season with a black sweater, some black tights, and some cute black booties. Some of my favorite bloggers are featuring pleats on their Instagram accounts and on their blogs. Metallics, deep burgundy and blush tones, maxis and midi skirts, shiny satins and plush velvets. These pleated skirts can be styled […]

13 Gift Ideas for Mother’s Day
My mom is kind of special to me. I’m not saying that just to butter her up (because she does read my blog), but I mean it from the deepest corners of my heart. Not only do I get to honor and celebrate her on Mother’s Day, but her birthday is so close to Mother’s Day that she gets twice the gifts that most other mothers out there receive. On a couple of occasions, her birthday was actually on Mother’s Day (talk about special)! Since Mother’s Day is this coming weekend (May 8th), you better shake a leg and buy or make a […]
