LEATHER & LIP GLOSS

Have you jumped on the jumpsuit bandwagon yet? If not, I highly suggest you do. Jumpsuits are becoming increasingly popular and I don't see that changing anytime soon. Different styles continue to emerge, and I found one recently that is soooo comfortable (and stylish). I mean it. I felt like I was wearing pajamas in this jumpsuit! I'm talking about the Standing Tall Floral Spaghetti Strap Jumpsuit from Filly Flair. It is so soft and cozy with a pretty floral design. The verstatile piece can be worn for a casual lunch, while running errands, even to Sunday church with the right coordinating pieces. As a mom, comfort is a top priority for me. And who doesn't love a piece they can practically sleep in, it's so comfortable? I want to wear this jumpsuit every day! The only (minor) thing about the jumpsuit that I didn't like was that it's too long on me, but that's something that can easily be fixed. Many dry cleaners and tailors can hem...

I'm all about jewelry and accessories that are fashionable, functional and versatile. Add a major does of color and I am officially sold. Enter: Pura Vida Bracelets . Not only does the brand sell jewelry and accessories that are fun and colorful, it also gives a percentage of sales to various charities. “Pura Vida” means “pure life” in Spanish; a Costa Rican philosophy that encourages the appreciation of life’s simple treasures. Pura Vida Bracelets was founded by two friends who met two bracelet artisans in Costa Rica during a college graduation trip. After witnessing the simple life and hard work of the two artisans, the two friends found that their handmade bracelets were a popular symbol of the laid-back lifestyle. Thus, Pura Vida Bracelets was born as a way to inspire simple living while providing meaningful work to artisans around the world. When you purchase a bracelet from the Pura Vida Charity collection , you make a difference. There are many different causes y...

If you've ever taken pictures of yourself wearing different colors, you know that wearing the wrong shades can make a huge impact on your appearance. Your seasonal coloring is what determines which hues your should or shouldn't wear, and I'm showing you the science behind this. I took several shots of myself in various colors to demonstrate the way different shades make you look better or worse. On the left, I'm wearing a pink top that falls into the cool category. On the right, I'm wearing a peach top that falls into the warm category. If you compare how I look in each top, you'll notice a few things. my skin looks drained of color in the pink top the pink top stands out more than I do the peach top brings out my natural coloring I don't fade into the background in the peach top Therefore, I look better in warm hues than cool ones. But let's see another example, just to be sure. On the left, I'm wearing a white top that fall...

We've all heard of them. Those fashion "rules" that many consider a faux pas to break. However, most of these rules are not rules at all- they are merely suggestions, born from a fear of standing out and making a bold fashion statement. So if you're ready to brave up and break some rules of fashion, here are 5 fashion rules to break now . Don't Wear White After Labor Day If you Google "why can't you wear white after Labor Day?" you will find a lot of theories, but no definitive answer. That's because this rule was created so long ago, and for outdated reasons, that nobody really tries to find its origin. People think it is an important rule to follow, but don't even know why. So...wear white whenever you want! One great way to add some fun to a white ensemble is by adding pops of color with other pieces.   Don't Wear Socks With Sandals This rule I mostly agree with, however it applies more to men than to women. And it really...
