Women’s Fashion Tips – 3 Want-them-now Straw Bags

July 28th // Comment Here

There’s something so islandy and happifying about a straw handbag. This season we struck gold: It’s hard to overstate our love for this roomy Lilly Pulitzer – it’s very ’70s Jackie O and goes with everything, from a shift and flat sandals to skinny jeans or floaty linen pants. And the charming metallic evening bag from Coach is something you’ll want to keep forever – just a great juxtaposition of modern and classic.

Tell us: Which one is your favorite?

Women’s Fashion Tips – Dancing Queen

July 18th // Comment Here

Get ready to party and dance the night away this summer. Whether you are dressing up for a wedding, special event or a night out with your friends, the shoes are key to how long you will last in the dance floor. High-heels don’t necessarily have to be painful. You can get the look without having to sacrifice your style. Flat sandals unless you are wearing a long flowy dress and the event is outdoors are not appropriate for a black tie affair. Flats are not the best choice when wearing a party dress.

There are some key elements you should look out for when trying on shoes. High heels with a hidden platform are great because they provide support in the area of your foot where you put the most pressure. Shoes that have a cushiony in sole will provide an extra layer of comfort and protection. Also make sure you invest in good pair, usually shoes that provide comfort and are chic and beautiful are not inexpensive so invest in a versatile style like a black or nude pump that you can wear with all your evening outfits.
Here are some great options so you can party all night long.

Cole Haan has a great comfort feature for their shoes. They have incorporated Nike Air technology to their high heels. So you feel like you are wearing sneakers.

Frugal Fashion Find: Evanity.com

Check out these adorable jeans I just scored over on eVanity.com! I discovered this store a few months back, and– have since — stored this little gem in my back pocket as a “go-to” source for premium quality denim at bargain-hunters’ prices. For my money, eVanity’s premium line of “Dakota” jeans are just as cute as my $250 Rock and Republics, and they fit like a dream (did I mention they run only $50)! Not unlike my premium, designer jeans; each and every pair of eVanity jeans is different. I’m amazed at the attention to detail that is put into these jeans — handcrafted detail like destruction, grinding, whiskering and destroy washes, premium buttons with large grommets, and unique stitch detailing give these jeans a handmade, expensive look. To complete my cool, casual-chic look, I also picked up an ultra-soft, printed thermal from evanity’s vintage collection. Check out the look I put together, and let me know what you think!

Fashion Tips – Winter Wonderland

March 4th // Comment Here

I’ve been in Greensboro for the past couple of days as we got hit with a massive snowstorm! It has been beautiful, but I must say; I’m ready for Spring! I’ve run into some serious fashion block with all the nasty weather. Don’t get me wrong; it’s great if you are planning a day of skiing or a day of movies and staying home, but if you can’t take the day off and stay home, what do you wear to work? Plastic rain-boots are only to be worn outside, not in the workplace. Jeans and pants (unless they are tucked into boots) will drag on the street and will be wet by the time you get to work. After many wardrobe changes, I’ve found the perfect go-to outfit for when the weather is bad: knee-high waterproof boots, tights with a dark skirt or dress. Add color with a striped cardigan or a bright sweater and a warm waterproof coat or a trench coat! Check out my picks after the jump.


Sweater dress $58 at Urban Outfitters

Trench $49.50 at Old Navy


Khombu boots $80 at Zappos.com

Flyaway cardigan $39.50 at Express.com
