My daughters and I love wearing tank tops in the summer. They are comfortable, light weight and allow you to get a little sun. What I don't like about wearing tank tops is they always show my bra straps - this was the rage a year or so ago, that I never jumped into, and neither have my … [Read more...]
Relief for Tender Tootsies
June 24, 2009
Summer is here and sandal season is in full swing. Since moving to Georgia 10 years ago, I've amassed a sizable collection of adorable sandals and peep-toe shoes. This time of year, a stroll through the shoe department at a place like Target, for example, leaves me swooning. So, … [Read more...]

How Do *They* Know Which Color Is The New Black?
May 20, 2009
Did you ever wonder how people figure out which colors are "in" for the season? I used to assume it was all decided by what showed up on the runways and then what ended up on the racks.

Hot Summer Accessories
May 8, 2009
There is nothing I love more (after shoes anyway) than accessories. I love how a few pieces can easily transform an outfit from drab to FAB in no time flat and nothing says "check her out" like coordinated extras. I love finding bold, interesting, colorful pieces which means that this summer's … [Read more...]
