I follow this one blogger, Blair Eadie of Atlantic-Pacific, and she has great style and wears some of the most amazing clothes. Anyway, I was perusing her wardrobe in one of her blog posts and came across a pair of camouflage pants, which I began to covet. I did a little research and discovered they came from Zara. I ordered them, but unfortunately, they didn’t fit. I needed one size larger, but they ultimately didn’t have my size (because I’m size curvy). My go-to wardrobe in the summer is dresses, and skirts with t-shirts. I wear my skinny jeans with dressy […]
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 […]

It was two bloggers… first was Kate from Kate The Almost Great, and she pointed me in the direction of Mackenzie Horan at Design Darling, who put together her first list together in 2011. This list, like Mackenzie says, […]
Taking A Cue from InStyle for My Spring Colors
I’ve been readying InStyle magazine for years. To me, it’s like one of my fashion bibles. I love to see all the styles and colors splashed on the pages of the magazine, but I have been hesitant to venture out of my black-on-black fashion style. With InStyle’s challenge to discover this season’s spring colors, I now have a shopping list full of not only styles to try, but fabulous colors with which to experiment. InStyle predicted several complementary colors for this Spring, including: coral and melon; pale blue and aubergine; tangerine and tan; cobalt and peach; spruce and teal; chocolate […]
