3 Ways To Instantly Step Up Your Style

I regularly get texts or calls from friends asking for fashion advice. I usually give the same advice.

1. Add colored shoes.
Why? Because color blocking is fun. Because it's bold. Because shoes are a gift from God and you should enjoy them. A simple black dress looks good with a black heel but it would look better with a cobalt blue heel. But, what doesn't look good with a cobalt heel?
2. Add a belt.
It defines your waist. It adds depth. It's trendy. Each of the below outfits would look fine without a belt. But, with the belt, they are cuter, trendier, and figure flattering.

3. Layer it. 
It adds depth. It adds color. It adds funk. These pictures are of Bee from Atlantic-Pacific. I think she is the queen of layering. She makes it look like an art form.

What do you think? What style advice do you give? What style advice have you gotten?

Outfit Post: British Lady

I have a new Thursday night ritual. Well, it's not actually new. I've been doing it for about two months but, I've only recently realized that I'm actually doing it every Thursday night. My "new" Thursday night ritual is going to the thrift store. This may not seem like anything special to you, but it is the highlight of my week. This week, I found this British Lady dress and this gem necklace. I think this dress is a little reminesent of Mad Men (a show I've never seen). What do you think?

Summer Shopping List

Summer is right around the corner. Here's what's on my shopping list:

1. Neon Shoes
These aren't really in my budget. But, that won't stop me from spicing things up with a less expensive neon shoe.

2. White Eye Liner
After seeing this photos, I wanted to try white eyeliner. She looks stunning.

3. Delicate Rings
How pretty are these? I love this look!

What's on your summer shopping list?

Jump Around

I love a good jumper. Especially in the summer. They were all the rage the last two summers. I still see them everywhere. I guess people aren't tired of them yet.  


I think my favorite is the long-sleeved silk jumper. It looks like super chic sleepwear, which is also really trendy right now. Two trends in one jumper :)

Will you wear a jumper this summer?

Maxi Skirt Inspiration

I love most of this spring's trends; colored denim, printed pants, and neons. I can't get enough. Another favorite trend? Maxi skirts. So, I put together two outfits to inspire you to get your maxi skirt on.


I've found the key to a great maxi skirt outfit is proportions. If the skirt is flowy, be sure to define your waist. It the skirt is tighter then you can do a looser top. 

What do you think? Have you worn a maxi skirt yet?

Fashionably Fabulous Friday -- Shorts

It's been a chilly spring in upstate NY. We've had a couple of warm days but the nice weather never seems to stick. But, it's April so regardless of the weather, I'm still in the mood to shop for summer clothes. While perusing Target online, I found these adorable shorts. I want them in every color!


Have you bought this year's first pair of shorts yet?

Recipe: Tomato & Mozzarella "Sandwich"


Tomato + mozzarella = goodness. I'm a sucker for this combo. For dinner the other night, I cut up a beefsteak tomato and layered it with fresh mozzarella cheese. I added ripped up basil and topped it off with a balsamic vinaigrette and fresh ground pepper... it was heaven. 

What are your favorite food combos?
