Sparkle At Home


If I saved my sparkles for a night out on the town, then I would never sparkle! I just don't seem to go out much any more. It's not that I dislike going out. It's just that time is limited. My husband and I both work full time outside of the home and on my day's off from my "reliable job",  I work at home on my three side projects; The Maine Square, The Canny Canary and on this blog, Pine Trees & Pearls. We do make time to go out to dinner at least once a month, but mostly we are just happy with getting home from work and spending time together cooking dinner in our own kitchen. Some might think that my life is too full of work and not enough play. But I am perfectly happy with it.

SHOP my sparkle at home look!



Who drinks orange juice out of a champagne flute? I do, whenever possible. It's the same as wearing sparkles. Why save those things for a "special occasion" when every day should be treated as one? You never know what's going to happen tomorrow!


I love this nautical stripe sparkling whale sweater from Talbots. It's fun to wear and it's nice and cozy. I keep the heat down in my home, so it's almost always sweater weather for me.



Cheers!

Nail polish color is called Wildfire by Vinylux. This is my favorite brand of polish. Why? Because it actually stays on for seven days even on people who actually use their hands like myself!


 I am loving these new suede driving moccasins from Talbots in this refreshing color that they are calling dark pink grapefruit. 


Faux pearls are this girls best friend. They brighten up your face. Try them and see!

Shop my look!

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...
