Fanciful Feathers

This feather sash from Icing101 above is no longer available, but I just had to post it anyway. You could make something like this yourself! You should also check out the other items from Icing 101 that are available right now. So cute!

This sash made of feathers, grosgrain ribbon, and rhinestones is just so pretty! How could you not love this?! We are always seeing feathers in fashion, so making a purchase like this would not be considered a "trendy purchase." Of course there will be certain times of the year that you will wear feathers more. I tend to reach for anything feathery during the colder months of the year. They just look so fluffy and cozy! Feathers also look great worn for evening, since they can look extremely elegant.

I was skeptical about purchasing this feather sash from Talbots since I didn't think it would be something I would wear often. Turns out I was wrong! I even dress up some of my hats with it from time to time!

What I wore:

~ winter white spaghetti strap tank from Banana Republic

~ puff sleeve cardigan from Victoria's Secret

~ feather and bead ribbon sash from Talbots

~ scarlet red pencil skirt from Talbots

~ Cole Haan microfiber knee high kitten heel boots

This ivory and blush silk flower & feather ribbon sash is actually meant for a bride, but she could wear it with many outfits for years to come! I found it on this adorable website called Deanna DiBene. Be sure to check out all of her creations! Very fun and unique :)

And I just had to share with you that I received my Neiman Marcus Christmas Book yesterday! I always feel like a kid when I get it. Remember going through Sears and Service Merchandise catalogs and circling everything you wished for??? I sure do. If I could have any one item in this catalog, it would be this wool and feather jacket by Elizabeth and James. LOVE IT!!!

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...
