My Top 5 New Years Resolutions

1. To be more adventurous in fashion and in the world.

OK, so I might not ever be as adventurous as Lady Ga Ga, but thats just not me. Most importantly I must stay true to myself, which can go both ways in the sense of being adventurous. Meaning that if I want to try something new I must do it and not hold back because someone might think I am "different." We are all "different" and that is what is special about us. What is most important is that within all of my trying new things I must stay true to myself and just be a good person.

2. To take more photos of my fashion craziness.

This is something I need to get better at. I typically take my own fashion photos so it is sometimes difficult to be alone in my house. I need to make my husband take them I guess. He sometimes isn't the best photographer.....His poor photography can't possibly be the fault of the person he is photographing....right???

ha ha ;)

3. To make more fashion videos and not feel like they have to be long.

Sometimes I feel like longer is better, when actually people don't mind a little fashion tip here and there even though it's only like 2 minutes long. Here are some of my fashion vids from the past. Sorry, they are less than professional.....but it's just me:)

4. To not care so much what other people think of me while making sure to treat others with respect despite their opinion.

This is a feature about myself that I hate! I feel like it holds me back. I must not care so much! This one will be difficult.

5. To READ more.

And not just fashion magazines. I mean BOOKS.

Happy New Year!

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...
