The Best of 2012

Happy Monday all!

Initially I wasn’t going to do a “best of” post but I decided to do one anyway.  I picked these outfits because they were so fun to wear! The outfits are special to me because they show me embracing my body.  No more hiding and following ridiculous fashion “rules”. If I like it and feel comfortable, I’m gonna wear it!

In keeping with New Year traditions, I’ve only made two resolutions that I know I will not break:

1. Exercise & be healthy

2. Travel more (I’m heading to Vegas later this month, Paris in April and Chicago in July)

What are your New Year resolutions?

Have a great day!

Dear Santa…

Happy Monday all!

My 8-year-old goddaughter still believes in Santa Claus (she told me so over dinner two weeks ago) so that got me to thinking…what if Santa was real? I’ve been a little naughty this year but overall I was  a good girl so  here’s my Christmas Wish list!

Coach
Coach by bxphlgal featuring a travel tote

Santa this vibrant Coach tote would make me smile everyday and not be a Grinch when its cold outside! Plus its roomy enough  to carry  all my Christmas gifts! (okay I know that’s laying it on a little thick Santa).

Talbots
 
 

Santa  I NEED this coat like yesterday! The color is vibrant and  a great alternative to my old black coat.   Santa can’t you see me wearing my yellow Coach tote with this coat?! OMG!

Ann Taylor

What girl doesn’t like a little sparkle Santa?! This necklace is gorgeous! P.S. Tell Mrs. Claus to keep her paws off!

Vince Camuto

Santa you know how much I love a great black and white print!  This blouse would be perfect with my leather pencil skirt or red trousers.  I expect this number under the Christmas tree or no cookies for you!

Whats on your Christmas Wish list?

Have a wonderful day!

Fall Foliage

Happy Hump Day all!

Seeing the leaves turn is one of my favorite parts of Autumn. The warm hues are lush and bright especially in the afternoon sun. I’m fortunate to see this wonderful display of color everyday when I walk to the train station. My outfit today is inspired by changing leaves and their brilliant colors.

What is your favorite part of Fall?

Have a wonderful evening!

Stepping Up

TGIF!!!

This past week, I was going through my sandals and I noticed something…they were all FLAT! Over the years I convinced myself that I would fall if I wore wedges or heels, so I shied away from them. Now Ive decided to move outside my comfort zone and add some height to my summer shoe wardrobe. Here are a few pairs of shoes I’m loving right now.

Are you going to give wedges or heels a try this summer? Have a great weekend!

These are a few of the items Im swooning over for Spring. Spring to me is all about vibrant color. I can’t wait until the first day of Spring (March 20th!!!) comes so I can wear these dresses.
What items are you “swooning” over for Spring?
Take care!
