It’s that time again, where I feature a dress form outfit. I’m so ready for Summer that I’m already planning several outfits (trying them out on my dress form first) to wear on date nights with my hubs. If you took a look in my closet, you’d see mostly black and gray, but a few years ago I decided to step out of my comfort zone and get a pair of electric blue jeans. I have featured these jeans on my dress form before, and every time I wear them, I feel sassy. I bought this Juicy Couture sleeveless top […]

50 Best Fashion Tips of All Time

I’m not your typical fashion blogger. I don’t post an #OOTD {outfit of the day} on Instagram.

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 […]

Steal Her Style: Jennifer Aniston

Jennifer Aniston has set several trends, most notably with her famous “Rachel” haircut. But if you’re like me, then you look to Jennifer for her uber cool California girl style. Even when she’s in New York City, she maintains an air of cool girl style that women everywhere try to replicate. Everyone fell in love with Jennifer in Friends, where she played the lovable Rachel Green. I loved Rachel’s style in the early years because it was a nice mix of cool and quirky, especially most of the short skirts, baggy pants, and body hugging sweaters. I also loved Rachel’s […]

Sseko Designs Launches New Designs for Fall

I had never heard of Sseko Designs until last August when I met Genavieve Moyer and her daughter at the BlogHer #16 conference in Los Angeles. It was kind of serendipitous that we met that early morning at the The Original Pantry Cafe. I talked about my blog and how I’m just a city girl living in the country with my husband and our two furbabies. Then she talked about her blog and her life out on the farm with her husband and children. Then Genavieve shared with me her excitement at becoming a Sseko Mentor Fellow and the good […]
