LOK Is A Okay!!!

I was going to begin this blog post by saying that I never win anything. Well never say never is my new motto and I am sticking to it!!! Well-to-Do You is one of my favorite blogs. (and I am not just saying that because I won these ADORABLE little rosette shoe clips!) There are soooo many interesting blogs that interesting people just like you and me are writing these days. It's so difficult to keep up! Well-to-Do You is one blog that I try to read daily. These girls have so many great eco friendly tips that now I have no excuse to not be environmentally cautious! They have guest bloggers from time to time (such as myself) as well as many fabulous GIVEAWAYS! Who doesn't love a giveaway?? Anyyyyway, LOKdesigns teamed up with Well-to-Do You to get their word out that they are a couple of cool best friends who make some really pretty things! I am so happy to have won these rosette shoe clips. I plan on purchasing a few for gifts from LOKdesigns for my special girl friends this holiday season. Buying handcrafted items that are made in the USA is becoming more and more important to me these days. It feels so great to know that my money is going to someone who is hard working and well deserving. I have no doubt that the ladies behind LOKdesigns are enthusiastic, artistic and so very talented!


At first I thought I ordered some golf balls by accident!!! Actually it was a recycled box that the geniuses behind LOKdesigns decided to pack my rosette shoe clips in. Why purchase new boxes and create waste?! It's what's in the box that matters. When I opened the box I knew that these could not be golf balls wrapped in gold tissue paper. I don't even play golf! (not that I wouldn't like to try one of these days ;) They were my rosette shoe clips that I had won from Well-to-Do You and LOKdesigns!

This is what I found underneath all that pretty gold paper :)




This is how I wore my rosette shoe clips from LOKdesigns:

And last but certainly not least

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...
