The Little White Dress
Summer is flying by…but it’s not too late to wear the little “white” dress when the temps rise and the sun shines. I bought a little eyelet shift dress from Gap earlier this summer and I love wearing it with a Panama hat and little delicate sandals. There are so many pretty dresses out in white, […]

Readers, I have to promote a really cool service called The Dollar Shave Club for two reasons; 1) my husband likes it, and 2) the company uses such smart marketing strategies they deserve to be recognized! My husband heard about Shave Club on the radio, and I signed him up online. Basically you sign up […]

More Style Mistakes and Wearing Cropped Pants
I am going to step on some toes here…the picture I’ve featured is the beloved Capri pant. Sorry ladies — most women who wear Capri pants don’t look good in them.
