A Great Leather Jacket, According to Your Indianapolis Stylist

To me, a leather jacket is a must have, especially today with all the casual dressing. It’s hard to find a really good one, however, at a good price. I do not advocate spending $1,000 or more–unless you can afford it. I have found some great leather jackets for you at the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, […]

Three Cheers for Color!

This snappy jade green is one of those colors nearly everyone can wear! It’s a beautiful color as summer marches on. You can also wear it into the fall, which is what I like about it. The Jade really shines in this pretty off-the-shoulder dress by Charles Henry. Consider reaching for this bright, summery color […]

Dress it Up!

It’s vacation season; it’s warm and sunny, and the summer stretches out to meet us. What a great time to add some new dresses to your wardrobe, ladies! They are easy to wear, and they flatter you. I wrote this story for Kit magazine, and it features some dresses you will love. Some are more […]

The Shark Bite that Doesn’t Hurt!

Ever heard of the Shark Bite hem? I thought this type of dress was also called the handkerchief hem–think that is the old word for it. Anyway, I have two dresses with this type of hem. They are fun and surprisingly flattering–especially if you want to wear something a little shorter but not mini. I […]

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. It was totally unintentional — I had bought a sleeveless lilac sheath and needed a coverup. I choose a cropped pale pink shrug. […]

Channeling June Cleaver…

Readers, I’ve always been a fan of the lady dress: The full, pleated skirt. Well, fashion times have granted my wishes. These dresses are very much in vogue, and so many women can look absolutely darling in them. The full, long pleated skirts are in style, too, and I love them as well. Those of […]

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, […]
