Baby It's Cold Outside!


Would you ever choose to do a photo shoot on one of the coldest days of the year? Probably not. Me on the other hand, yes I would. And I did.

It was just twelve degrees on Sunday January 9, 2017 when I attempted this photo shoot outside by Maine's famous Penobscot River. At least the sun was out. Although it didn't warm anything up at all, what it did do was lift my spirits. Funny what a little vitamin D can do for the soul.

I actually couldn't wait to show off this really cute mixed stitched sweater from Talbots. It looks sort of old school to me, yet timeless. It's 100% cotton so I did need to layer with a denim shirt for some extra warmth on this extra cold day, but I will be able to wear it this spring all by itself with a pair of my favorite jeans. It may be what I choose to wear on the plane when I head to Florida for a week in February. I will more than likely get a lot of use out of it. And I know that I keep showing off this hat  that I received from my husband this past Christmas, but it's so warm and cozy. I just can't seem to take it off! I managed to get my hands on the matching scarf as well. It might be match-ie match-ie, but I love it. It's nice to have warm winter apparel that you love. The season is so long here in Maine. We have to make it fun!

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...
