Moonstruck

Seeing culottes come back in fashion recently has made me rethink the look in its entirety. Remembering back to when I was younger and we called them "pedal pushers" makes it sort of difficult to take them seriously. Who wants to wear a wide leg anything that isn't a short and cannot be considered a pant? It would feel like your very own grandmother had given you the perfect gift. Something only she would wear. Until you add a little skin, a pretty heel, some jewelry that makes a statement that only you can make, and all by the light of the moon.

Ticket To Ride

When I have some time off, whether it is on the weekends, or a little mini vacation, I try and take that opportunity to delve in my closet for a pretty treasure or two. Dresses that only see the light of day a few times a season are always special to me. I find comfort in knowing that I will look good in it even before I put it on. I look forward to it, planning ahead of time, and I look forward to the process. Dressing up to me is my way of pampering myself. It's my way of putting my needs first.  Every day life can feel like a wild ride, the perfect dress is just the ticket.

How Summer Feels

Summer is a feeling and a state of mind, not just a season. The smell of the warm rain and the fragrant flowers inundates our senses. The sun warms our skin and brightens our days. Our bodies want to rest less and play more.. Our appetites are left ravenous for a simpler, lighter menu. It's like in some way we are new again, For those of us who spend at least half of the year in the cold this is the time we get to breathe again and feel alive like the Earth itself. Summer for all of us is the opportune time to truly appreciate the world we are apart of before it falls asleep once more and lies dormant in the wait for Spring.

Roped In

Someone very famous was being judged for wearing a harness. I see this going through my social media accounts and I am instantly intrigued. Then I am completely smitten. Who better than me to wear a little rope wrapped up with a skirt on your very average Saturday? The little girl with the long legs and the short torso likes being able to show off her curves. Hard for me to believe that people see this as anything but a great accessory. Hug me with a little leather, covered with cotton, touched by tulle and made for fun. Bring on the weekend.

Remain Unchanged

I think it's safe to say I am a hat person. I am a lipstick girl. I am a denim girl. Weekends are my favorite because I have the opportunity to be extremely creative and wear what I love. Perfect for those days where it's cooler in the morning and heats up as the day progresses, pairing a bralette with these overalls makes that transition seamless. I can go all day and never have to change a thing. If only life were as much of a constant.

Turn It Up

Well we went from soggy to muggy here in a little over a week. I got so lost in it that that I completely forgot what season we were in. The weather started to wear me down and made me feel a little bit sad. I think I had a bit of cabin fever. That is why when the temps spiked and the sun popped so did my mood. Bright colors and soft fabrics mirror all the things I love about the summer and reflect the way it makes me feel. Sultry, sexy, and ready to turn up the heat.

Back Story

Falling in love with a pretty dress is easy, and first impressions are of the utmost importance. Walking into a room and grabbing the attention of not only your companion, but anyone else who can appreciate a well made garment, at any gathering, is what it's all about. This dress caught my eye immediately because of the color (my favorite), the slit on the side and the the way it drapes down my back and hugs my curves. It captured my attention. Thankful that in this instance, I'm leaving the best behind me.

Over It

Overalls are pajama like in that they are uber comfortable and have a youthfulness about them that transcends age. Not only for the youngest of the fashion set, we women can wear them too. I like them dressed up or down because they have a simple touch of  feminine allure. They are just as appealing with a pair of Vans and a fitted tee as they are with a flowy top and the perfect statement accessories. We have successfully brought this retro look into the new millennium. I like to call it farm fresh.

All I Ever Wanted

Nothing says summer like a great pair of cut-offs. These are just about as good as it gets. With a soft and stretchy feel, they are more comfortable than the average denim variety, and the elastic waste makes them fit like a glove. I wish every day could be spent looking like this. Just a cool collection of neutrals to slow down the overflow of vibrant colors this season brings. A nice little vacation.
