Last Saturday, the weather was partly sunny, around 58 degrees, and with a breeze. It was perfect weather for wearing booties. With the cooler temps, I paired them with a long-sleeved plaid top cinched with a belt and cords. Both top and pants are from Ann Taylor Loft. (more…)
It is rare to have my whole family together all at once. So, imagine my excitement and anticipation as I made my drive to my brother, Michael’s, house in South Carolina for my Godson’s baptism. My sister and parents had arrived the afternoon before and were already settled. (more…)
D’Orsay style pumps are so elegant and sexy. If you’re wondering what d’Orsay style is, it is simply when one or both sides of a pump are cut away to reveal the arch of the foot. This is the style of the Enzo Angiolini Circini pumps. (more…)
I had an interesting experience this week. On Monday, I pulled out of my garage and noticed my car sounded loud. Initially, I was concerned, but not concerned enough to stop and check it out. Yes, a complete “knows nothing about cars” chick reaction! So, I continued my 45-mile drive to work convincing myself the sound was normal. Eventually, I had to turn up the music to drown it out. No sound, no problem, right? I got to work safely and decided my 9-year old car was beginning to show its age. (more…)
In one of my earlier reviews, I mentioned that Bar III is a private label owned by Macy’s. The hip and fun shoe line is inspired by top fashion bloggers. (more…)
After the Bar Mitvah I wrote about last week, my dad and I spent the rest of the afternoon taking blog pictures. To take full advantage of time and weather, we take pictures for 3-4 weeks worth of blog entries. It makes for a long afternoon, but it is well worth the effort to avoid having to take pictures every weekend. (more…)
Crisp mornings and warm afternoons signal a change in season is imminent. I don’t want Summer to end, but the beauty of Fall is alluring. I love watching the leaves change colors as Summer becomes a distant memory. For me, Fall truly arrives the moment I smell the sweet scent of firewood in the evening air. Like an old friend returning, I welcome the familiar embrace. (more…)
I don’t normally shop at DSW, but I had some time to spare one Saturday afternoon a few months ago. After half an hour of browsing, I came across the Darron pumps. The gold studs caught my eye. It was a style I had seen before and craved, but could never find in my usual shopping places. At the time, I thought I had found a hidden treasure and was ecstatic that they had my size! I tried them on and loved them. So, I scooped up the box and went straight to the register. (more…)
I am a practicing Roman Catholic. So, imagine my curiosity and interest when my good friend from work, Anna, invited me and my dad to her son, David’s, Bar Mitvah at the Magen David Sephardic Congregation located in Rockville, Maryland. (more…)
For this heel/outfit combo, I can’t remember what came first: the heels or the dress. Whatever the sequence, I remember my satisfaction when I wore the look to a summer concert, of the boy-band variety, of course. 😉 This time around, it was summer fun at Balboa Park in San Diego, CA. (more…)
