We All Love Maxi’s!
Maxi dresses are hitting the stores, and I love to look at all of them. There are so many choices, it’s hard to choose. The one maxi I already bought is from Tommy Bahama. I could not believe how great their store is–I found a couple when I was on vacation. I have a graduation […]
Summer’s Perfect for Gingham
We’ve seen gingham for a couple of seasons now, but it’s ever so perfect for summer as the temps heat up and we turn to more casual, easy pieces during our downtime. I love gingham in cotton for shirts,dresses, skirts, even shorts. When you select your gingham pieces, consider your size. Petite women should think […]
The Best Investment You Will Ever Make
If you are like me, you’ve bought many raincoats over the years–many of them trench coats or colorful, almost dress-like coats for spring. These are fun and a great addition to your wardrobe. A couple of years ago, I spent more than $250 on a spring coat, which for me, at the time, was a […]
Pantone Color of the Year
Hello Fashionistas, Many of you might already know this, but the Pantone Color of the Year 2016 is Rose Quartz and lilac. It’s a pretty combination, one I used this past Easter.

Stripes are all the rage!
It’s hard to even imagine warm, spring weather and green grass, but people, it’s already much lighter in the evenings. Noticed it? I always do. As we trudge through the rest of our Midwest winter, I’d like to pass along a little fashion tidbit…STripes are still huge! And,I don’t mean the size. Stripes in clothing, […]
Bangs are a Neat Update!
Haircuts with bangs are very popular! I thought they were cute, but they weren’t for me. Besides, I had “side” bangs which I thought were enough. Fast forward to a Sunday night and I wake up with a nasty scratch on my forehead from Nellie, my kitty who likes to jump on the bed. […]
Barbie Looks Like a Real Woman!
Recently, Mattel revealed new body type dolls for Barbie–curvy, tall and petite. It’s the most dramatic change in Barbie’s 57-year history. The website says,”Girls everywhere now have infinitely more ways to play out their stories and spark their imaginations through Barbie,” promoting the social media hashtag of #TheDollEvolves.” Glad to see it, Mattel!
