DressLily Black Friday Sale & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up #151
The past two weeks have been a whirlwind of activity between trying to get blog posts scheduled ahead of time so I could relax during my Thanksgiving travels, visiting lots of friends and family in Pennsylvania, spending a wonderful date afternoon with my husband in Jim Thorpe on Saturday, and then traveling back home through a wretched snow storm on Sunday. And for all the work I did to get ahead, I find myself frantically behind now that I am home again. But I suppose this is the way it goes. So while I have lots of great things that I want to share here, I simply have run out…

What to Wear to a Summer Wedding with DressLily & Link Up On the Edge #52
It is summer wedding season and although I do not have any open invitations this year, my brother-in-law is getting married next May. In preparation for that event, I have been trying out some different dress options. My boys will both be in the wedding all decked out in their little tuxedos and most likely not on their best behavior. I’m sure I will have to intervene and assist them at some point, putting me directly in the spotlight for at least a moment, since it is a natural human instinct to look at the parents of the rowdy children and wonder what the hell kind of mother allows their…

School is out and summer is finally here and I am more obsessed than ever with vintage-inspired dresses! My favorite place to go for these pretty retro style dresses is DressLily.

Good Versus Evil & Link Up On the Edge #47
Good versus evil. It is a universal dichotomy that is as old as time. And it is a metaphysical idea that creeps into my brain in the wee hours of the night. (Or in the shower…I often do my best philosophical thinking in the shower). It is a topic that repeats itself over and over again in movies, in television, in songs, in religion, in law, in psychology. At times, it seems as if we are almost obsessed with the idea, but more so, we are obsessed with trying to make sense of it. *This is a sponsored post. I received this scarf c/o DressLily. As always , all thoughts…

Weekend Wish List: DressLily
Plus Size High Low Maxi Dress With Long Sleeves ($17.20). For goodness sake, I really need (meaning want) a red dress! How do I not own one? This one from DressLily fits the bill perfectly, but I am hesitant to order it only because it has long sleeves and it is going to be too warm for long sleeves soon. It is going to be too warm for long sleeves soon, isn’t it? We have snow predicted this week in northern New York, so maybe I should have just ordered this dress! Anyway, here are some of my favorite Spring and Summer dresses and scarves from DressLily. *This is a…

Finding the Beauty Around Me with DressLily & Link Up On the Edge #41
I am attempting to get back into the swing of things after the last few weeks of craziness. As I sat down at my keyboard to begin drafting this post, I found myself completely lost for inspiration. But I have an outfit with a shirt that I am obligated to show, so show you I must. But I wanted a theme, a message, something inspirational or important to share with you besides a cool top. And my cool top has a really cool tree on it, so I did some random Google searches about trees to see if it would lead me to something inspirational. *This is a sponsored post. I…

Stepping Into Spring with DressLily & Link Up On the Edge #37
*This is a sponsored post. All thoughts and opinions are my own. Have I mentioned lately how I am longing for Spring? There is still snow on the ground here in the North Country with more forecasted for this weekend followed by some warmer temperatures next week with lots of rain. At least it will wash away all the snow. And warmer is a relative term here. I still can’t go with bare legs or bare toes. But that’s all fine since my toes are a wreck from being cooped up in socks and boots all winter! Time for that first Spring pedicure! Have I mentioned lately that I want all…

For this week’s Weekend Wish List, I am sharing some of my favorite Spring Dresses from DressLily. As I sit here buried in snow waiting for Spring to arrive, I can wishfully picture myself wearing some of these pretty pieces when the weather finally decides to warm.

I hope to be adding some of these beauties to my closet this Spring. *This is a…
