Summer

Accessories are a great place to play add bright & bold colors to any summer outfit. Think: clay earrings, pink lipstick, wide brim sun hats...& maybe some Birks.
When I think of accessories, the first thing that pops into my head is Lizzie McGuire on Disney Channel. Think: approximately 45 butterfly hair clips, multi-layered necklaces, bracelets, earrings and the occasional bucket hat that Lizzie and her BFF, Miranda, wore. I wanted to be them SO badly. Be Bold: Jewelry, Sun Hats, Birkenstocks & More Fun Summer Accessories Thankfully,...
Found: fabulous jeans that flatter our curves & make us feel great. AG, PAIGE, Good American + more denim for those of us with a bit of a booty.
The best part about in-store shopping? Being able to try jeans on. The worst part about in-store shopping? Trying jeans on. 😂 No, but seriously...I have a love/hate relationship with the Search For The Perfect Jean. On one hand, you have to try on a ton--many of which look awful on a curvy body or are made for people...
Sometimes when I see something (diapers), my brain gets stuck (diapers) & now I can only see diapers when looking at white diapers. I mean white cutoffs.
Sooooo. I've been searching for a new pair of white cut-off shorts. The old pair of white BlankNYC cut-offs I wore in summers past (see how I wore them, here) are low-rise, stretchy, and -- thanks to the Pandemic Plus, ya know, aging -- now too small. So I figured this would be the perfect opportunity to find a...
But when I saw the pink Coach Mollie Sandals with the teeniest heel, I couldn't resist adopting the poor kitten (heels) & taking them home.
I used to be young. Seriously. I purchased 5-inch Paris Hilton platform heels (that's hot) and teetered around...OK, not the clubs, but definitely the local pub after rehearsals for whatever show I was in at the moment. I stopped that nonsense a few years ago, to the point where when I went to pack up my shoes for our move,...
Like most Free People dresses, this 1 is perfectly bohemian, with a relaxed fit, plus a lot of fabric in order to get that swishy, swooshy, flowy goodness.
It’s summertime. It’s heating up and we actually have events and places to go to again. If you’re anything like me, you’re still clinging to your favorite matching sweat sets while looking over your shoulder at all the lovelier things in your closet wondering how the heck to get dressed.  Putting an outfit together to wear outside my front door...
A bold pattern here, animal print there -- between A-line dresses & colorful wide-leg pants, we're ready for some summer outfit inspo. Let's go!
First off...work on your kiddo's wild-eyes-incredibly-happy-to-see-their-grandmother-smile...you'll be set for any summer event. Haha. Bless it. This girlie was so glad to see my mom during her visit. Secondly, if you need some outfit inspo and ideas for outdoor events, we got ya covered. On Me: Exact Dress | Similar Dress | Wedges | Similar Bag On My...
I almost exclusively wear shoes from comfort shoe brands, so finding the cutest & most stylish summer shoes is kinda my thing.
It’s Summer Comfort Shoe Guide time, guys!!! I’ve expanded the categories even further this year (12 different styles of comfort shoes!!!) because after being vaccinated, I am out and about and wearing ALL the comfortable shoes! I almost exclusively wear shoes from comfort shoe brands, but finding the cutest and most stylish from these brands can be a bit of a...
The Ponto shorts, 5" inseam Kore shorts & men's performance tees = versatility without sacrificing comfort. Vuori Clothing is unmatched in both.
Sponsored by Vuori Clothing and ShopStyle Collective If you were to walk into my husband's closet, you would see a bold letter “V” printed on nearly every item of clothing he owns. I’m not lying to you when I say that a solid 85 percent of his entire wardrobe is from one brand, and one brand alone. What brand could possibly...
Not only are Reformation linen dresses chic, sexy & casual, but they're also sustainable & often available in plus sizes, too. Perfect for summer travel.
With European countries easing travel restrictions, there's some ray of hope for those of us with wanderlust tendencies. Especially for those of us who are vaccinated and/or willing to get a negative COVID test prior to boarding...several of my favorite travel destinations (including Greece, Italy, France) have no-quarantine requirements. If you're interested in the details, AFAR has the details...
Gap denim shorts hit all the marks. Affordable & offered in many sizes (petite, regular + tall, sizing up to 35). Also: a variety of inseam lengths + high-, mid- & low-rise styles.
Finding the right pair of denim shorts has been a struggle for me summer after summer. Instead, I tend to stick to skirts, dresses, and jeans because I'm rarely able to find a pair of denim shorts that make me feel totally comfortable and confident. Gap Denim Shorts Are My Latest Obsession I feel like I've tried them ALL and...
