Fall & Winter

Hey ladies! I hope everyone is on track with everything they need to get done before Christmas arrives.  I feel a little bit of pressure because we are hosting family on Christmas Eve and we are going out of town the two days before that! Yikes, I have a lot to do!  We also started a new tradition a few years ago to make the food on Christmas Eve nontraditional. Instead of turkey and dressing we choose a different food theme each year.  Last year we did a Taco Bar and this year we are doing Italian food!  It has been a huge hit with family so we are going to try to keep it going.  Who else gets tired of turkey and dressing…

Hey ladies! I am writing a quick post on what I recommend to wear over a cocktail dress. I had a client that struggled to find something to keep her warm when she was going to cocktail parties.  Well, I know that most women are cold ALL THE TIME so  I decided that other woman may need a solution for this as well.  I like solving these types of problems for people, so if this is you too then please keep reading! A simple pashmina is a great solution to cover the arms but is really not a great solution for warmth.  For those that need a little more warmth  faux fur, sequins and velvet are great solutions. These materials are considered luxurious and therefore…

Hello Everyone! I hope you had a great Thanksgiving break and did lots of great shopping!  I shopped for the first time in 20 years on Black Friday and it was a blast.  We now have 4 weeks until Christmas! Sometimes it’s 5 weeks depending on how Thanksgiving falls.  I look forward to Christmas coming but I don’t look forward to winter. I love fall and it just doesn’t last long enough. There is a very specific time of year that the leaves change and my favorite tree turns bright yellow.  Some seasons it’s more yellow than others. This tree is the Ginkgo tree.  I have one in my yard and just learned last year about what is called “Night of the Ginkgo”.  This is…

It’s almost Turkey day ladies!  If you are like me you will be hosting a lot of family and friends that day.  I can’t wait! This is the start of my favorite time of year.  I love decorating the house and cooking great food and sharing it with others. Today I want to share with you what I will be wearing on this lovely day.  If you know me personally or follow my blog you will know that my style of clothing is very casual and my family is even more casual! My husbands family are who we host for Thanksgiving since mine live out of town and they are people in the music and sound industry so dressy is out the window and…

I hope everyone has had a good week so far! Mine has been super crazy and busy with updating and adding a Shop My Instagram and Shop Currenly Loving sections to my website.  That has taken quite a bit of work to create! Whoo! I am glad I am mostly done. Now I just have to add things as I go.  In all that mess I kept avoiding writing this post! Not purposely but unintentionally would loose track of what I needed to be doing.  My husband keeps reminding me to be consistent and he is so right!  My goal is to keep on track with writing consistently even with other stuff going on.  So here ya go.  My Thursday weekly post of my Designer…

Hey girls!  Wow! this week I actually got two blog posts up!  I have been working so hard on a new website and new backgrounds for my flat lay photos that my focus has not been on writing!  And yes, coming soon is a fresh new website that I have done ALL by myself!  I am so proud of this project! Can’t wait for you to see it. Those of you who know me know that I am married to a programmer but he has been so busy I have done this one on my own.  Anyway, to get back on track,  my inspiration for writing comes from my own wardrobe selections or from a conversation about something fashiony (which is quite often) or just…

If I were to ever enter the retail world as a designer I would want to create denim.  Denim has become that item of clothing that we just can’t live without.  Can you imagine not having your favorite jeans to put on?!  I honestly think that would be the day Jesus would need to return, no joke!  I live in my denim and can’t image not having a pair to put on my body.  I only want to tell you guys things that I am passionate about and as you can tell this is one of them!  In saying that, my two favorite denim brands are AG and PAIGE.  I am going to tell you about PAIGE today because it is a new “love” in…
