I know, I know, I've been neglecting my little blog lately. It's been crazy busy at work especially since end of year is approaching as well as socially with events. With the holidays just days away I thought it was only fitting to share some fun holiday party outfit ideas in a series of posts. Check back daily as I will be posting a different holiday look each day to Christmas and if I'm feeling up to it continuing through New Years!! A red dress says look at me and it's the perfect color for any holiday party! The ... Read more...
How To: Wear Shorts in the Fall/Winter
Seasonal clothes like shorts tend to have a short shelf life. In California they have a longer life than in most places but for me it never seems long enough. That's why I pair my shorts come fall and winter with tights, boots, sweaters, or all three!

Fashion Trick: The Ballet Belt
You most likely don't know this, but I used to be a ballet dancer. Ballet was my life from age three until age 18. When my career ended, due to injury, I held onto bags of my things in storage, from one-of-a-kind leotards, warmers, and even my custom pointe shoes, in hopes that one day I would miraculously no longer have chronic achilles tendentious and be able to get right back in the studio and be as good as I was prior to my injury (sadly I knew that would not be my reality). So with my latest move I finally went through everything ... Read more...
Stella & Dot: Shop for a Cause
I was so excited when I saw this in my inbox yesterday. Nothing could pull at my heart strings any more than this. As a military wife myself, I feel many people don't give the wives and girlfriends of military men the credit they deserve. It is tough having someone else (and when I say someone else I mean the military) direct your life from where ... Read more...
