What is it about this new Kilim Diamond-Tapestry Cardigan from TALBOTS that made me immediately think, MUST HAVE? First of all, this kilim print is classic but sort of has a modern and edgy look to it. That was my first initial thought. Then I felt the fabric. An extremely soft and light cotton and linen. Whenever I can wear something that is made of natural fibers, I do. There is nothing like looking cool and feeling great at the same time! Shop my look!

Contrary to popular belief, the length of our hair does not define how feminine we are. And to prove this, I am on a long hair strike!  I am tired of seeing women struggle to get their hair long to please a man or someone else besides themselves. Don't get me wrong, I always want to please my man, but if the only way of doing that would be to get my hair to look like a Victoria's Secret model every day then I would know that he isn't the man for me. On the other hand, if I wanted to wear my hair long like a Victoria's Secret model, as I have in the past , then I would, and I will again, when I feel like it. But right now I feel like sporting the pixie. My bangs are a little longer than a typical pixie, but maybe next time I will get them trimmed up a little shorter. Change is not only good, it's fun! And for all you ladies growing your hair out and struggling every day to please someone else, stop doing that. Trust me, they will love you no matter w...

Trust me. Tassels are trending. (Try saying that ten times fast.) I love this simple little rope tassel belt that I got from J.Crew a few months ago. The color that I have on is no longer available but the one pictured below is just as pretty and is totally available. JavaScript is currently disabled in this browser.

I also chose to wear this sweet little vintage Trifari pearl & rhinestone gold necklace   from The Canny Canary . I thought it was the perfect accent for this simple  white eyelet sleeveless Ann Taylor blouse .   JavaScript is currently disabled in this browser. Reactivate it to view this content. It was a fun and cool look, but I did get a bit chilly off and on during the day. So I layered on this white pointelle cardigan from Talbots from ...

No matter what you are hearing from the fashion industry, I think that this is a positively glorious time for fashion. We are living in a time where anything goes. Even Chanel is showing sneakers worn with tweed suits! Does that mean that we finally are getting the okay to be fashionably comfortable in a world where it has been typically known that you were not fashionable unless you were a little uncomfortable? I say yes. And I am loving it! However, being comfortable and being dressed appropriately for a particular situation that you are in, say it might be work or an interview, are still two separate things. We all know that there are certain events in our lives that we wouldn't (or shouldn't) wear sneakers or jeans to, but somehow people still continue to be confused. I don't think that this fashion movement of being fashionably comfortable or comfortably fashionable is helping our thought process any. By the way, those two statements mean exactly the same thing. ...
