Avoiding the Winter Blues
Winter can be cold and harsh and easily turn into a sea of black coats and grey sweaters. Though you may be in the mood to pull on that dark and drab sweater, wearing something bright and unexpected in the winter can really brighten those cold and gloomy days. Wishing you a warm and bright weekend!

M-I-C… K-E-Y… M-O-U-S-E!
Mickey sweatshirts, Star Wars hoodies, and Adventure Time leggings. I call these “kid clothes for adults”. With all this fun clothing available for adults these days, I feel like it’s easy to be a kid at heart.

Party Time in the ’60s!
I love a good holiday party, especially if that means feeling festive and getting dressed up. This year I decided to forego the sequins and gold and go with a simpler black and white look. As I chose the pieces for this outfit, I started to realize that my outfit began to look more and more like an outfit from the ’50s or ’60s – the sheer boxy top, vintage glam jewelry, and especially the back seam tights.
