Hello friends! This is going to be a fun post for me! I get to tell you something you probably did not know about me! Then I get to tell you about a fun shop right here in Memphis, TN!  First, the fun fact about me. I am a Certified Optician! Yes, I totally am! I got certified last year and worked in Optical for almost two and a half years! Crazy I know.  Fashion to Optical, what is up with that? Well, first of all eyewear is now a big fashion accessory if you are not aware!  It is not just a pair of glasses to see with anymore. Fashion has taken over the eyewear world and made it pretty amazing. Now you don’t…

Hey friends!  Do you like to shop?  I know most people think that all women like to shop but I know lots of woman that don’t. It is a frustrating process for them and they have trouble deciding.  I get it!  This actually is what provides me a job. There is really an “art” to it.  I have become a professional shopper over the past 20 years of my life.  My retail background has just made me really good at it.  I shop for lots of people in my family and friends.  I also professionally shop for clients and my goal with my blog is to be able to help more people. It is amazing the amount of choices there are for women these days! …

Hey ladies! The hot question that I am going to address in this blog post is: What will I need to make a great Spring wardrobe?  I am going to give you the essentials that you need to get you started. You will continue to add things to make it your own personal style but this should always come first.  I like to start with the essentials of your wardrobe because they are what you will need for layering and mixing and matching throughout the season. 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…

Hello ladies! Welcome to the new Flat Lay to Life-Styled post!  In this post I will show you my real “life-styled” photos of some of my previous flat lays! YAY!  I have been wanting to do this for a while so I am excited to bring you the first one today! I picked some of my most liked outfits from this fall season.  I will also give you some styling tips along the way! Enjoy! This first outfit is with my favorite faux fur jacket of the season.  This one screamed my name as soon as I saw it because it was a bomber jacket in faux fur!  What a great combination.  I love that it looks so casual but makes you feel so chic when…

Well ladies,  I have had my first…ever experience in buying a pair of over the knee boots.  I have always loved them but never took the plunge until a couple of weeks ago.  I know it is somewhat late in the season but that means you could possibly find a great pair that is on sale.  You know I love a good sale!  I got my over the knee boots at Goodnight Macaroon at 30% off.  I paid around $100 for them and had to wait 3 weeks because they supposedly make them to order.  I purchased these for multiple reasons and learned a significant amount through the process. I feel like this would be a larger purchase for most people so I wanted…

Hey everyone! We are so close to the new year and this year went by scary fast!  It seems the older I  get the faster time goes by.  Do you agree? I love the holidays but it takes me a few days to recover from all of our festivities with family. While I was  recovering I got behind on some of my writing so sorry this is coming to you a little late. I wanted to give you my suggestions of things to buy after Christmas that would be worth adding to your wardrobe.  I am going to start with Nordsrom today because they are having their Half Year Sale and there are actually some things I have been eyeing that are on sale. All…

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…
