I’m posting the “Links I Love” a day later than usual, but that’s because my husband and I had a car show to attend on Saturday morning. Unfortunately, the brakes locked up and we ended up not going, but that’s a story for another time. Then we watched the Tennessee Volunteers beat the Florida Gators! Anyway, I’ve been busy reading a lot of blog posts and articles these past couple of weeks. I’ve been perusing my Bloglovin’ feed and I’m loving what I’ve been reading. So I thought I share with you some of the links I found interesting, from New […]
How to Break the Fashion Rules this Summer
I’m at that time in my life where I think I should stop wearing certain things because I’m in my early 40s. No more shorts. No more short skirts or short dresses. No fitted clothing. No leggings. But I think that we, as women, are too hard on ourselves and especially too hard on other women for their choice of clothing.

My husband is constantly telling me I have beautiful legs, and when […]

My 101 Things in 1001 Days List
For the past two hours, I have been perusing Pinterest, clicking on links, and reading blog posts by other bloggers about fashion, beauty rituals, Coachella, as well as watching a few DIY and “how-to” videos. But for the past 30 minutes, I have been reading other blogger’s “101 things in 1001 days lists.” I thought to myself, “What a cool idea!” Who inspired me to do this list? 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 […]
