Trend: Black & White

Hi Friends!

Have you seen this fun new trend?  Spring Fashion is all about fun prints, lace, mixing prints and head-to-toe black and white.  All of us have black and white in our closets.  This has to be one of the easiest and most accessible trends today.  Keep it to those two colors and you're set!!

This was my outfit to see Cirque du Soleil:  Quidam.  It was an amazing show!  My hubby and I went as a 7 year anniversary treat to ourselves.  We had a wonderful time and the entertainment was top notch.  I would love to see a few more performances.  The acrobatics, lights and overall show is incredible.  

Hugs,

Beauty Review: Sinful Colors

Hi Friends,

I have a budget beauty find!!!  Some of you may have known about this for a LONG time but I recently discovered "Sinful Colors" brand nail polish.

This little number is from a few seasons back but I adore the color.  It's called "Feeling Great" and at $1.99 a bottle, I can definitely say that about it.  I picked up several colors from Walgreens, but I know I have also seen this brand at Target.

You might be wondering if this brand is worth the budget price.  YES!  That's the very reason I'm sharing this tip with you.  It wears well, REALLY well.  I put on a single coat yesterday morning. I did the normal stuff day to day stuff.  I washed dishes, played with kiddos and cleaned.   The edges of my nails were just starting to wear away a day later.  Today, I added a second coat,  just before this picture was taken.  It's a great, budget polish found at most of your popular drugstores.  I love this brand and plan to stock up on a few more fun colors.

Hugs,

One Tank, Three Ways

Hi Friends!

My latest goal is to get more mileage out of the pieces I own.  How many different outfits can be created with one or a few pieces?

If you are like me, you love to have fun and stylish outfits. That all starts with picking out pieces that fit your "style" and pairing them together in fun ways. Style isn't about having the most pieces in your wardrobe. It's really about finding ways to wear your pieces in new and unique ways that make you feel good. Here's an example of a simple striped tank paired with jean shorts, skinnies and colored denim. One tank, three totally different ways. That's the way I'm learning to work my closet. It's not about quantity but quality and creativity. See if you can pick a piece and style three ways. It's eye opening how many more outfits can be created by really using what you already have.

 Hugs,
