FLAVORS OF FALL
Fall is officially here. Well, according to the majority of the population who uses the Starbucks release of the Pumpkin Spice Latte as thei

HEY THERE, STUD!
I have never been a huge earring wearer. Which is kind of ironic because my mother has always worn earrings, mainly hoops and dangling styles. She is someone who feels 'naked' without them. That, however, did not rub off on me. To this day, she will not let me live down the fact that I have still never worn a pair of huge white drop earrings she got me about 7 years ago. Sorry mom :) I will say, though, that I have changed my tune regarding earrings within the last year or so

FESTIVE & GREEN
St. Patty's day is a little over a week away and if you are like me, you struggle with finding that balance when it comes to dressing for a holiday and you are starting to dig through your closet to see what you can find to show at least a little bit of festiveness. You are torn between going all out and covering yourself in clovers, to saying, "Screw it! I'm wearing Pink!" St. Patrick's day is also a holiday where I've noticed people either go full throttle with their level

TREND OBSESSION : OIL SLICK
It amazes me when something that is dirty, nasty or grungy in nature can be used in a way that turns it into something quite striking and beautiful and that is exactly what is happening with my new trend obsession, OIL SLICK, also referred to as DIESEL MARBLING or OIL SPILL MARBLING. It has a satisfying combination of whimsical rainbows and unicorns, mixed with a futuristic, yet slightly 90's edgy grunge and I am totally digging it! I love the irregular, slightly psychedelic

PATTERN OBSESSION : OFF THE GRID
I always go through major phases when it comes to what patterns I'm diggin on at the moment. Usually I am drawn to either bold, graphic, colorful prints or pretty, feminine florals. However, currently I'm obsessing over grid patterns and I'm loving seeing them popping up not only in fashions but also in accessories, home decor, tech gear, party supplies, stationery and more. Those that know me well, know that I have a tendency to be a bit on the messier side of things when it

RETIREMENT PARTY!...FOR MY PURSE
As someone who's AIM screen name used to be PurseGirl6785, I am utterly embarrassed at the state of dismemberment I have allowed my last purse to get to! It wasn't until I was organizing some files at work, looking at photos that were taken of my purse for a project, that were dated TWO AND A HALF YEARS AGO, that I truly realized how long I had been using the same purse. Although, I have to admit, the fact that the purse was starting to disintegrate and flake apart in front o

BOOTIES FROM THE BLOCK
While the summer weather might provide warmth, color and light, there is no doubt that fall is my favorite fashion season. Goodbye flip flops and tanks. Bring on the layers and textures! And with this fall fashion comes an onslaught of boots of varying styles. Yay! From thigh-highs, to ankle boots there is something out there for everyone. I, myself, usually opt for a flatter heel, simply out of pure comfort, but that doesn't mean I don't still drool over footwear with a more

MAKE A STATEMENT
I love a good sassy, snarky, statement T-Shirt! What better way to advertise to the world what type of mood you are in that day by either rocking a brazen self-proclamation such as I'M SO FANCY, or showcasing to the world your playful side with your love of unicorns. For the most part, these statement T's take a balanced combination of confidence and that 'I don't take life too seriously' attitude to successfully pull off. I've pulled together a range of styles I have come ac

NYFW S/S 16
It's a dream of mine to one day get the opportunity to get a much coveted invite to see a runway show during New York Fashion Week or get a backstage pass to see the behind the scenes action. How amazing would that be?! Ah, well, until then...THANK GOD FOR THE INTERNET! How awesome is it that we live in a age where we are able to see live streaming video of what's happening at the pulse of fashion as it happens? In the past we'd have to wait to read reviews in the magazines o

NUDE ATTITUDE
Boots are starting to make their appearance. Flip flops are reluctantly being shunned to the back of the closet. We are officially in the transition from summer to fall. While the first utterances of the words "Brrr it's chilly," are starting to roll off our tongues, yet we are not fully out of the denial stage that winter is approaching, we've hit the perfect time to sport some of the neutral nail colors in our polish supplies. Neutral / nude enamel colors have the very vers
