To me there’s nothing more classy and elegant in the summer time than a blue and white striped dress. Needless to to say I have many of them in my closet, more than I probably should have to be honest, but I can’t help it! They just have such a cute and clean look to them and are so easy to dress up or down that they have become a staple summer item for me. When someone mentions ‘summer’ the instant image that comes to my mind is myself; wearing a blue and white striped sundress and lemonade in hand or maybe a plate of watermelon with cat-eye sunglasses on. Usually my mental picture is on the ..read more

I have been incorporating vintage brooches and various sparkly bobbles into my hair styles for as long as I can remember. It started with my mom, who loved to do my hair up in Shirley Temple curls for school photos and various events like the Christmas choir practice, or the Easter Sunday egg hunt. Usually, it was glittery rhinestones for onstage events and more demure pearl embellished hair accessories for modest affairs such as church or school. As someone who loves jewelry but often forgets to wear it, I find embellished hair accessories to be the perfect addition to class up any outfit ..read more

Not to brag but I was a pretty hip kid back in the early 2000’s, with my gel bracelets, cropped bangs and leather jacket I felt pretty cool! If I was really feeling fancy I would wear my white and grey cargo pants with the pink jewel studs on the pockets, that’s how you knew I meant business. I mean that is what Laura Croft wore in Tomb Raider when she went to fight bad guys after all! (Keep in mind that came out in 2001 people!) Flashing back to my 4th grade self I’m pretty sure I was not as nearly as big a badass as I thought at the time; a fluffy white kitten in a leather studded choker is ..read more

I needed to to hit the reset button big time a couple of weeks ago, so I decided to book a night or two somewhere local. I was looking for someplace I could pamper myself with a bit of spa time and room service but what I wanted more than anything was to get my Zen on and relax without feeling piled on top of other people. A good friend suggested the Andaz Resort in Scottsdale and after a bit of research, decided it would be the perfect place for my staycation.   The Andaz is a somewhat newer resort in Scottsdale and is very modern in it’s design, which consists of dessert colors and clean lin ..read more

It is hard to describe the rush that comes from watching six talented people, who love what they do, putting their absolute best work forward in their campaign for Stylist of the Year. It’s like the gladiator games, only for fashion! Instead of spears and swords, they are armed with the top spring trends of 2019 and their own creative genius, and in place of soldiers they have models, but the crowd is no less on edge than they would be at the Colosseum. Although, the battle itself is surely a more beautiful and riveting sight to behold! I truly never leave a show uninspired and admittedly my ..read more

Whereas most people set resolutions each year such as going to the gym, or getting that promotion at work, I tend to not only set resolutions for changes I want in my life but also for changes in my style. This year, sitting across the table from a friend after a fabulous morning of facials and coffee, he asked me how I foresaw my style changing this year and/or what would be new to my wardrobe this year. At the time I was rather unprepared to answer with anything more than a broad statement. I had a general idea of things I wanted to change as I had been in the middle of purging my fashion ..read more

 I am sad to report that one of this year’s trends that is scraping it’s way back up from the dregs of the 70’s specifically from the box labeled “Discontinued Hazardous Material DO NOT OPEN”…is Tie-Dye. Now for those you who have long awaited the return of the overly bright colored hippy overlord, I’m sorry but I won’t be sharing your enthusiasm. For those of you who share my views on Tie-Dye, let us hope that we will only be forced to endure it for one season. That humanity will realize their grievous error in releasing such a malevolent force upon the world and banish Tie-Dye back into ..read more

Alright, ladies and gentleman! Unfortunately time has gotten away from me this year, can you believe it’s 2019 already! But I wanted to be sure and review my one month YEOUTH Skincare trial. Though it has been over a month now and I have to say I am still loving this system so it is finally time for me to reveal the results! These are my findings from only the first month of use. Since I had heard such great reviews about this system, and because I essentially gifted myself with the set for my birthday, I was more than a little excited to try out the YEOUTH Skincare line. However, I was ..read more
