Jean Jackets

Jean Jackets. What a great transition into spring. If you need one, check your local Goodwill, I have spotted several, or check Old Navy, fun jacket to have. Love it with black and with dresses.

What's your take on jean jackets?

Feeling the 80's and Jumpsuits

This jumpsuit from JCrew, totally reminds me of the 1980's. I had a jumpsuit similar.

No, I won't be buying one now. But, I am contemplating a jean jacket for spring and summer.

New Year's Top under $10.

What are you wearing for New Years? I am not sure if I am going out, or staying in. Either way, I will be wearing this great top I got from the Chico's Outlet. Under $10. It is a white and gold fabric, I can wear either tied-up, loose, or with a belt. So many options.

Pea Coats

I think I might have to get a Pea Coat this year. Truly fun and I like the versatility of them. When I was at Costco, yes, Costco the other day they had both Men and Women's for under $100. The coat below is from Chadwicks online and is $79.99 and comes in tons of colors. I noticed Victoria's Secret online also had them. So, Navy, Black, Gray, Brown, Red, which one to choose?

Do you Ebay? Concho Belts & Leather Jackets

Do you Ebay? I do. Not only buy but sell. Right now I have leather Concho Belts, and a Light Blue Leather Jacket. If you haven't checked Ebay, you should. Great deals.

Boyfriend Jeans - Fold your jeans 1950's Style

Everyone wears them. You know you love them. The Boyfriend Jean. Make your own!! The jeans below are a bootcut that I wear with heels. You can fold and make your own Boyfriend Jean. Or as I like the say, the 1950's jean. Remember Happy Days? Everyone had rolled jeans. Well here is the 1950's roll. Super easy.

Take jeans and lay them flat.

Next, pinch in the middle.

Make one roll.

Make 2 or 3 rolls. You can fan yours a bit like this one is done, or leave it with the fold pinch and it looks great too. I normally roll mine 3 times, but up to you. The more the pinch the tighter the bottom. And, yes, they stay rolled all day long. I use a loose pair of jeans, so I get the slouchy boyfriend look.

Now, put on your heels and go!! You are ready. Or, how about some Oxfords, or Booties, or, you name it.

This is the back of the folded leg.

White Shirt after Labor Day

Can you rock a white shirt after Labor Day? The answer is Yes!! A classic white shirt is classic all year long. Under a cardigan, under a blazer, or standing on it's own.

The photo below is from a Got Milk ad featuring Carolina Herrera and her daughter. Herrera always rocks a white shirt, it has become her signature style.

Rachel Zoe rocking a white shirt under a sparkly cardigan/jacket.

Do not know where the Zoe pic is from, sorry.

Silver Turquoise Concho Belt Fall Transition Piece

Fall is coming. The air is getting crip. School has started. Here in New Mexico, they are roasting green chilie. Yum. Yum. Yum.

So, how can you update your wardrobe? With great transition trends under $50.00. This great concho belt is available in my Etsy store, just click on the logo on the right hand side of the page.

Any great belt can dress up an outfit or dress. Leave a longer shirt out and put a belt around it. Belt a shirtdress. How about skinny pants with a shirt tucked in and a low slung belt? You name it you can do it. Enjoy.

Don't know why the close-ups are a bit blurry. Trouble with the camera.

BCBG Arabesque Double Wrap Watch

I love the look of the double wrap watch. BCBG has come up with one that has a leather strap and in an amazing price range. Yep, $115. That is amazing. So your choices are a BCBG store, or: http://www.bcbg.com up to you. Great watch. Watches are the new in accessory. Hey, since cell phones, watches have had to become an accessory, not an every day item.

Double Wrap Watch

So while flipping thru the re-runs the other day I ran across Martha Stewart, and she was wearing my favorite watch. The Hermes Cape Cod Double Tour. I love that watch. I have seen her wear it many times. However, it is soooo out of my budget. Everytime I see it I Google Double Wrap Watches. I was totally thrilled when this watch from New York and Company came up. It is not only $22.95, but it is buy a piece of jewelry and get a second 1/2 off. I can have one in each color. Black band and brown band. I am so there.

If you don't have a NY & Co. in your town, the link is below.

What a great Friday.

Animal Prints - Pop of Animal Prints

I love the pop of animal print. But too much can be "School Girly", if you're young, or "Cougarish", if you're older. So how do you avoid these traps, and have a hint of an animal print. Below is the answer. A great belt, or sandel. Up to you. Or both. Enjoy.

Anthropologie Belt $34.00 online or in stores.

American Eagle $29.50, online or in stores.

Blush - Great Color for Spring

I am totally coveting this blush color for spring. I know I have posted about it before, but it is an amazing color. Not too pink, not too, anything, just blush. Looks great on everyone. Just got a text to my blackberry from Express, also showing blush for spring and summer. Do you have any blush in your closet? I am looking for a cami, and am sure Express will have one, to put under browns and blues, to lighten them for spring. How about you?

1955 Vogue-- Happy First Day of Spring-Blush Pink Chico's

Happy First Day of Spring.
It is snowing here. Oh well.

I love this 1955 Vogue photo below. I am not sure if she is wearing a white or a pink blush color. It is gorgeous.

I am loving the pink blush color I saw when I walked by a Chico's window the other day. It is very soft and can be worn by everyone. They had it in jackets, shirts, and even a scarf. Check it out it is a great color.

Photo below from: http://www.chicos.com. It is the Burnout Slice Scarf for $39.00. Love the belt too!! I am loving their blush pink color this year. Check it out, it is beautiful. Not to pink and not to blush, just right.

Green Nail Polish - Happy St. Patrick's Day

Green Nail Polish is not just for St. Patrick's Day. It is almost a neutral color. It can be worn with almost any outfit. Add a pop of color to your black ensemble with Green Nail Polish. The color below is Sally Hansen's Insta Dry, which really does dry fast, and it is called Mint Sprint.


The color below is Ocean Love Potion. For Sephora by OPI. Try some Green on, you will love it.

I love looking back to the past for fashion inspiration. Vogue always inspires me. The photo below (don't know where it is from) is Jane Fonda. Notice that Plaid is back in fashion this season -- check Ralph Lauren. Also, notice the chunky bangles, again, great style for this season.


I just love this ad. I like the pearl button earrings. I also like the pink scarf around her neck.

Enjoy.
