Navy blouse (The Limited) | Floral pants (The Limited) | Navy heels (Nine West/DSW) Navy watch (c/o ESQ Movado) | Red lipstick (Ruby Woo/MAC Cosmetics)   Don't you just love the floral pants trend this season?  I'm not typically a trendy person, because I never want to wear what everyone else is wearing.  I mean, what's the point?  When I do go trendy, I want it to be something that I can tuck away in the back of my closet and then pull back out some years from now and call it vintage.  Also, I don't spend a lot on trendy items.  These pants?  I can't remember the exact price Read More ...

The last few weeks I've been thinking about doing something different with my hair.  It had gotten long and boring.  This week, I knew it was time to do something. Anything.  (Ok, not so much anything, but you get what I'm saying.)  I thought about getting it cut into a long angled bob and I thought about layers.  I knew that I wanted to keep the length, because I'm loving my long hair.  The night before my hair appointment I decided on a few layers in the front.  Well, ta-da!  That's what I got!   I got it cut Wednesday and this picture above was right afterwards.  I think I look Read More ...

Oh Shift! Striped shift dress (The Limited) | Earrings (Tiffany & Co.)   I am in love with stripes at the moment.  And shift dresses.  What you can't see in this picture is that the button at the top in the back popped off so I had to wear a black cardigan over this dress.  I tried sewing it back on, but it's a funky kinda button and wasn't easy to get the needle and thread through it, so off to the cleaners this dress and button will go.   Last weekend was another great weekend in Connecticut.  We saw Oblivion in IMAX and can I say, the IMAX experience Read More ...

Black ankle strap heels (Mossimo/Target) | Skinny jeans (The Limited)   Last week I posted my 5 Spring Must Haves and ankle strap heels was on the list.  Well, I found some super cute, super comfortable, and reasonably priced black ankle strap heels with studs at Target.  I wore them for the first time yesterday as part of my travel outfit.  They were easy to slip off and back on in the TSA security line because of the zippered back.       After flying from Charlotte to Atlanta, changing planes in Atlanta, and then flying to Hartford, Connecticut, you would think my feet would be tired from walking the long terminal hallways.  Nope.

Leisure (JustFab)   I ordered this handbag from JustFab last week and it arrived this week.  I had never really checked out their handbags until my girl, Mattie of Mattieologie, did a outfit post with one of their bags.  I thought her bag was super cute, so I headed to their website and this bag immediately caught my eye.  I thought this would be a fun spring and summer bag PLUS I have a couple of pairs of shoes with cork heels that are the colors in the splatter paint.  Also, this bag can be carried as a shoulder bag, crossbody bag, or a clutch.  I can't wait to carry it!   Read More ...

Love tee (Target) | Jacket (The Limited) | Skinny jeans (The Limited) Silver necklace (The Limited) | Love 2-finger ring (Pnk Elephant) | Bracelet (c/o St. John)   I told you guys last week that I was going to see Kendrick Lamar perform this week.  The day of the show I still had no idea what I was going to wear.  I knew I wanted to wear cute, comfortable shoes (I wore black wedge sandals).  At the last minute I grabbed this tee and threw my black jacket and skinny jeans on with it.  I was pleased with the outcome.  I LOVE this tee that I got from Target a couple of Read More ...

Stripes Striped sleeveless shirt (Banana Republic Outlet) | Grey pants (Target) | Necklace (The Limited)   I normally post this at midnight on Friday morning.  At 7:36 a.m. this morning as I was putting the finishing touches on my casual Friday look I suddenly remembered that I did not do my InstaStyle post last night.  YIKES!  I didn't have time to knock it out before I left for work, so here it is posted Friday night.  Sorry, guys!  I normally write the post Thursday evening, but it completely slipped my mind last night.  I will try not to forget again.  Forgive me?  Anyway, how was your week?  Are you doing anything Read More ...

Smile | Kiss Foundation in Almond (Bobbi Brown) | Loose powder in Basic Brown (Bobbi Brown) | Cream shadow in Slate (Bobbi Brown) Cream shadow in Mercury (Bobbi Brown) | Eye shadow in Gunmetal (Bobbi Brown) | Gel eyeliner in Black Ink (Bobbi Brown) Mascara in Black (Cover Girl) | Lip gloss in Cocoa Bling (Bobbi Brown)   This week I decided that instead of showing you an outfit that I wore this week, I would show you makeup, after all, makeup is part of a person's style.  As you can see, I wear mostly Bobbi Brown makeup and have since I was in college.  I took these photos one day this week Read More ...

"Is that the dress Kim Kardashian wore?" Black and white dress (The Limited) | Earrings (Tiffany & Co.)   I've been rediscovering my love of black lately.  This dress is thick which makes it perfect for wearing it during the winter.  I wanted to wear this dress one more time before the weather turns warm for good.  Speaking of…umm yeah.  Spring?  It's officially your season, so I need you to shine.   One thing that you can't see that I'm wearing in this photo is a fragrance that I'm trying out courtesy of Glamour called curve appeal.*  I love a fragrance that smells what I call "sexy sweet" and I have Read More ...

I'm enjoying this spring-like weather! Green ruffle blouse (Sunny Leigh/Belk) | Black pants (The Limited) | Black cardigan (The Limited) Black belt (The Limited) | Grey necklace (The Limited) | Black bracelet (c/o St. John)   The weather was absolutely gorgeous here in Charlotte at the beginning of this week!  I was actually able to leave home wearing my black trench coat over this outfit rather than my heavier winter coat.  It's supposed to be warm again this weekend, so I will be looking for a reason to be out and about this weekend to enjoy it.     This week was pretty chill.  I flew back to Charlotte Sunday from Read More ...
