Spring Break Cuties!
It’s that time of year. Many of us are on spring break, or about to go on a spring getaway…It’s time to amp up our accessories or buy some inexpensive swimsuits, coverups, shorts, T’s and other fun additions.

If you are a fan of any shade of blue, you have to love light blue, especially as the claws of winter loosen its grip! I have been seeing light blue in a few stores, first in White House Black Market. That store features nice blue jackets with a peplum shape in a cotton and […]
Denim skirt time is almost here!
If you are like me, you are always on the lookout for a great denim skirt: a lean, pencil skirt that hits right at the knee cap or below, in either a rich, dark due or a washed, light denim. Finding that perfect skirt seems to get harder and harder. Often I will find the […]
