I live in the south and it's already close to 90 degrees some days. I pull out my summer clothes around mid-March and they stay in my closet all the way through early November. Since I spend so much time in summer clothes, I don't mind spending a few extra dollars for something that is high quality.

While I don't spend a ton of money on hundreds of extras, there are a few basic summer fashion accessories that I try to include in my summer wardrobe. What sort … [Read more...]

These fashion tips for women over 40 will have you feeling fabulous instead of old and frumpy! Just because I have hit 40 and kept on going doesn't mean I want to stop putting some thought into my appearance.

This post about teen fashion has been sponsored by JCPenney but all opinions expressed here are my own. Some days I look at my 12 year old daughter and wonder how in the world I was lucky enough to be blessed with such an amazing child. From the time she was young she somehow managed to strike a balance between "down to earth" and "creatively dreamy". She is the girl who would go camping with her brother's Boy Scout pack and catch frogs...then come home and paint her nails. She was always the first one to the top of the mountain … [Read more...]
