Maine Girl

Only 48 more days until spring! I say that as we are now experiencing yet another "blizzard" here in the lovely state of Maine. But as you know, cold weather and snow doesn't hold true fashionistas back from having a fun fashion's night out! Here is what I wore last night at Talbots "Beat The Winter Blues" event in Bangor Maine. TALBOTS Platinum Jersey Hearts Dress Hearts are so girly, pretty and just plain cute! I love this heart wrap dress from Talbots. And don't think that hearts are just for Valentines Day (which is right around the corner btw.) Hearts can and should be worn all through the year. Why not show the world your love all year long! {From left to right: Laura (that's me;), Chanelle, Annmarie, Tracey and Jen}   I love this photo of me and my models. As cold as it was (and still is), these girls didn't let that stop them from showing off their favorite looks at their favorite store last night!  Shop our fa...

It was the day after the blizzard Juno and all was calm......but still COLD! I just woke up here in Maine and it is -1 degree outside! The first thing I do in the morning is check my weather phone app.  We all know, the weather totally affects what we will be wearing on any particular day. At first when I saw that negative temp on my app I pulled the blankets up over my head. I just wanted to stay in bed! But, getting out of bed and being grateful for the day is what I must do in order to press on. So that's exactly what I did. I managed to pull this semi spring look out of my wardrobe this morning and I felt so good after I put it on. The bright apricot color is just what I needed to put some life back into me after my day long hibernation from winter storm Juno. SHOP MY LOOK! JavaScript is currently disabled in this browser.

{photo via babynameslog.com } First you were born. You cried a lot and ate a lot and pooped a lot. {photo via  babynameslog.com } Then you started to walk and talk. Then you got taller and stronger and began learning a lot. {photo via alalosha.com }  Then puberty hit. Lots of changes to your body began to take place and it was considered a normal process to becoming an adult.  Lets fast forward to the age of 40, which is when I began seeing changes in my own womanly body. Everyone is different though. You might experience these changes in your 30's or maybe you are over 40 and nothing is happening yet. But at some point it will happen. A lot of women consider these changes to be a negative thing. And that realllllly irritates me. It is a normal process, just like going through puberty was, but somehow the changes that we experience at this advanced time in our lives are not as easily accepted. Yes, it's true that with these changes we experience some...

 I have to admit, planning to pack for my trip to sunny Florida was a bit confusing in the beginning. The temps are so cold here in Maine that I can't even imagine what it's like to be warm! I think I did okay though. I simply planned out a color scheme. I started with navy and white and added the apricot for a punch of color. I can mix and match all of these items and I can dress them up with the one pair of gold sandals that I am bringing or dress them down with a pair of navy blue Keds. Gotta keep that suitcase light ya know! This "Bon Voyage" tee from Talbots is a necessity for my trip to sunny Florida! Get yours by clicking HERE
