Picture of various items for spring that you can mix and match

Hey ladies! I hope you are getting as excited as I am for spring to get here! I don’t get as excited about spring clothing as I do for the fall season but I certainly am ready for warmer weather and sandals! I want to help you find the essentials you will need for a great spring wardrobe. These essentials are just basics that are the “canvas” for your wardrobe. Think of it like a painting.  You start with a canvas and build on it to make your picture from there.  You can not build the picture without the canvas.  Similarly you can not build a functional wardrobe without the basic “canvas” pieces. For your essentials I am going to give you suggestions to create…

Hey ladies! Have you paid attention to what colors are coming out for spring?!!! I have started a little shopping and boy are we in for an interesting colorful season!

I have already started seeing lots of corals, greens and yellows so far and expect as the season continues to see the rest. The pantone color of the year for 2019 is Living Coral.  This exact color is part of the lineup for spring, so this might just dominate the other colors of the season but we will see.  The Pantone colors for each season are chosen because they are the most seen colors in NY Fashion Week runway…

Hey y’all! I hope you are having a good start to February! January felt like it would never end!  Wouldn’t you agree?  I have a couple of exciting things to tell you about this February and one of those things is my new eyeglasses.  Unfortunately I am getting older and need glasses to help me see close up.  I tried a company called Liingo Eyewear to see what ordering a pair of glasses online would be like. They gifted me these glasses that are super cute and keep me seeing very well! For just a little background about me in case you didn’t already know.  I spent a little over 2 years selling glasses and I became a certified Optician during that time.  So, needless…
