The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book-May 2018-Leopard Print
Welcome to The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book! Welcome! This is The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book. A year ago, Nancy and I started The Bad Buy Book, a monthly series about our worst purchases. It was a lot of fun to do and we both learned something from it, too! Nancy learned that off-white against her face is not the most flattering color. And I learned that I have a serious problem resisting a good thrift shop find when it comes to pieces that fit “good enough” but “not quite right.” However, after a year has passed, we decided to change the series a bit. You can choose whether you want to show…

Happy New Year! I hope everyone enjoyed a wonderful and safe holiday season! I am ready to get this year started in the most energized and empowering way…and I have so many ideas flooding out of me for 2018. Now I just need to get myself organized and take it one step at a time. First on my agenda though is to get a planner! But this post is not about my big, disorganized plans! That topic is for another day perhaps. Instead, let’s get to some styling business to kick off the new year. Of course, if you follow my blog, then you know Ada of Elegance and Mommyhood.…

Welcome to The Bad Buy Book! This month’s theme is Trousers! The Bad Buy Book is a series hosted by Shelbee of Shelbee on the Edge and Nancy of Nancy’s Fashion Style.

Styling a Kimono and a Poncho: Fashion Mia Collaboration
Finally, I am able to write my post on these two fabulous pieces that I was gifted from Fashion Mia in exchange for a review. At first I was hesitant in agreeing to a collaboration with Fashion Mia. The fact that they are based in China and knowing that their sizing runs much smaller than in the United States combined with being a size 14 woman, I was afraid that I would be unable to find something that would fit me. As I was choosing the items that I wanted to review, I focused on looser fitting, free size pieces like kimonos and ponchos. With the sizing issue, I really…

GlobeIn Collaboration: Hydrate Box Review
When I was first contacted by GlobeIn (via my MOMS Club) about a collaboration, I have to admit that I had never heard of the company and had to first conduct some research before considering the offer. But what I found totally impressed me and I was completely on board. GlobeIn is a company dedicated to supporting artisans from around the world and especially those in third world countries. It is their mission to provide these artisans with a global audience so they can make a living producing their handcrafted goods. The end result of purchasing goods from GlobeIn is the reduction of poverty in these countries. In addition, all…

A Little Black Dress
I have an entire section of my closet that is dedicated to little black dresses…that I never wear! The LBD is such a classic look and I understand that every women is supposed to have least one LBD. So I am always adding more when I find one for a great price. But I never wear them. Until I received an email from Nina of A World of Dresses inviting me to join her Little Black Dress Party, a collaboration of women styling their LBD’s which is due to happen on June 22, 2016. So, of course, I had to style one of the many LBD’s in my closet! I…
