Dress Form Outfit / www.vanessahwood.com

I am no Alessandra Ambrosio, but ever since I featured her in my “Steal Her Style” series wearing olive green and black outfit, I have been trying to find ways to wear this color combo for Spring. Since I wear scrubs all week long, I really look forward to wearing “real clothes” while I’m out and about in town, or even for a date night with my hubs. In shopping my own closet for this month’s Dress Form Outfit, I realized that I have several olive green pieces that I could style together with either a pair of my black […]

What’s in My Bag, ft. Louis Vuitton Pochette Metis

If you’ve ever read US Weekly, then you’ve seen their monthly feature called “What’s in My Bag”. I find it so fascinating to see what other people carry around with them. I actually shared the contents of my bag in a blog post back in 2012 when I carried my beloved Louis Vuitton Estrela. So in putting together today’s Blogtober “Day 7” post, I thought I’d give an update and share what’s in my bag. I currently carry the Louis Vuitton Pochette Metis. It has three compartments and a zippered pocket on back. You can sling it over your shoulder, carry it by […]

Paying it Forward in March

Back in January (as part of my New Year’s Resolutions) I decided that each month I will do something for myself and something for someone else. It’s kind of my own “Pay it Forward” experiment for 2012. Well, this month, I really splurged on myself. Not only did I get a mani-pedi, but I purchased a new purse. My husband actually bought me the purse, but it was a big splurge. He/I purchased a Louis Vuitton Estrela MM at the LV store (inside Saks Fifth Ave.) in Columbus, Ohio. I know, I know… that was a BIG purchase, but I have been looking at […]
