Come Sail Away!

Now I don't know much about sailing. Ok, let's be truthful. I know nothing about sailing. I get sea sick. But I do know a lot about how fabulous these sail boat inspired pieces are to wear! These few pieces are a take off of the nautical look that I love so much for spring. They are so fun to wear because they are so colorful and there is just something about the sails that give you that "I'm free!" feeling.

Ralph Lauren Black Label Lucille Sail Print Dress. LOVE IT!


This dress looks super cool and comfy. Personally I would have worn a thin red patent belt with it;-)

This sailboat print dress by Stella McCartney is one of my favorite things. It would be super chic with a red and white striped ribbon belt and some red patent heels...wouldn't you agree? Yellow heels would also be quite nice;-)

This Hermes scarf is so pretty. I love the soft summery colors. I can picture this tied to your white handbag gently blowing in the wind.


This is a lovely sailboat charm to go on your Juicy Couture Charm Bracelet. (bracelet pictured above:-)

I love this bag by Dooney and Bourke because it can be dressy or very casual. I can picture it being worn with white or navy wide leg sailor pants or with denim.  And it is big enough to hold all my goodies that I carry everyday including my latest Vogue mag;-)

These Sperry Top-Sider Boat shoes are so cute, and they are PINK!! Cute with rolled denim cropped pants, white pants, or some liberty print floral shorts!

I could just hear "Orinoca Flow" by Celtic Woman playing while I was looking at this piece on nautical wear. Google it and watch the video. Beautiful! Also, "Walking in the Air".

Fashion Is For Models. STYLE Is For Real Women.

The fashion world has always favored skinny models to show off the latest trends. But it's the real women who actually buy them. Why does this make sense? Well I guess when it comes right down to the brutal truth, people buy things that look good. And lets face it, clothes look better when they are smaller. It's kind of like when I go into a store to try on shoes and the one on display that I am attracted to is a size 6 or 7 and then the sales clerk brings out my size (9 or 9/2) and I'm like "That's not the same shoe, is it? The one on display looks different!" The clerk tells me that it is in fact the same shoe. Suddenly, I don't want to try it on anymore. So, I just want to tell all you ladies out there who are not a size 4 in a dress that I get it. But we can't let it bother us.  Fashion is everywhere and marketing is everywhere and the majority of it is big beautiful pictures of skinny people. Keep in mind, models in magazines have the b...

FALL for Flowers!

{Leifsdottir Alegrias tiered floral skirt} Totally unpredictable and completely cool. Flowers for fall are exactly what you need to take your "I miss summertime" blues away. There are no rules in fashion. It's just about achieving a look that is your best and that you feel good in. Who says plaid is the only print you can wear in the fall? Now, don't get me wrong. Plaid is one of my favorite patterns. So maybe we can mix them together! {See below} Flower patterns are fun and so glamorous during any season. Just make your floral skirts a little more fall like by wearing a pair of colorful tights! Can you say FLOWER POWER?! And we are going to need some major FLOWER POWER especially when the temperature begins to drastically drop. {Christopher Kane ~ garden leather mini skirt} {Carolina Herrera}

The Necessary Black T-Shirt

I have to admit, I have not been getting dressed up much these days. I think it has something to do with just wanted to be comfortable. I have been sewing a ton of masks at The Maine Square   and it just feels better to not be confined in my clothing as I am cutting fabric and sewing. However, I do have to go out of the studio occasionally. Mostly it's to the mailbox, but sometimes it's to get more supplies and of course food. I don't mean to sound pretentious or anything, but I do think about how I look even when going out to do these quick errands. It makes me feel good to look half decent! Lately I have been opting for a simple black tee shirt and a pair of semi faded jeans. All I need to do it pop on a camel colored blazer and some ballet flats and I am good to go! Oh yeah, and I ALWAYS wear a mask when entering a public facility these days. I think it's just common courtesy with all that is going on with the corona virus.  Here are some of my all-time favori...
