So for the last few months I’ve been planning a baby shower for my now no longer pregnant friend and her brand new beautiful baby girl. As Pinterest ideas finally started to become a reality I soon found my storage space occupied with butterfly decorations, table cloths, paper mache and tons of pink and purple colored candy for the candy bar favors. After all the stress and worry the shower actually went beautifully. The only problem came after the guests had gone home which was the massive amount of left over chocolates and grape taffy that somehow managed it’s way back to my place. I have been using the colored candy as decor in mason jars when I’m not eating it and it inspired today’s look. Continue reading “Candy Girls”
Blogger Love
I’m so excited to share that I have a new blogger friend and the best part is that she lives like 10 minutes from me : ) Her name is Kirstin Anderson of the blog Kirstin Marie and she’s also a contributing writer for The Curvy Fashionista. Continue reading “Blogger Love”

When in Doubt …
Rihanna has been dropping some major color with her makeup collaborations with MAC Cosmetics. Every time this girl drops a new collection it’s always sold out within minutes so when her newest lip color Frosted came out — it’s a blue red with a frost finish — I was on it like nobody’s business!

Layered
Lately when I’m on Pinterest I find myself pinning a lot of winter friendly layered looks. I love how the addition of great boots, scarves or jackets can make an outfit become not only stylish but practical. Being that I live in Florida and I’m usually always hot — dressing in layers is something that appeals to my fashion senses but is often nixed over comfort. Continue reading “Layered”

The Pretty Spectrum
So we’ve had a few weeks to recover from the hurricane like winds of the phenomena that is YONCE. And since dropping her album sans promotion or any marketing, women around the world have been using Beyoncé’s lyrics as mantras of self empowerment, love and confidence. I can only give her the applause she is due. The girl got us feeling ourselves. I’m inspired to write the following because what I have experienced being a confident woman and the backlash there is when you are confident and you happen to not look like Beyoncé.

Mondays
So here we are, almost a full week into 2014 and things are just as busy and the pace isn’t slowing down. Tomorrow is Monday — the most beloved — excuse me — hated day of the week. Mondays have such a bad rep than let’s say midweek Wednesday and for many reasons, one of them being that we can see the light at the end of the proverbial tunnel. Continue reading “Mondays”

noir et blanc
Black and White. Two colors that can easily stand on their own but when styled together create a timeless classic combination that instantly brings fashion images to my mind. Like the Parisian designs of Chanel, the ultra femme style of Carolina Herrera or George Clooney’s recent polka dotted fashion editorial in W Magazine and ultimately the self proclaimed uniform of Janelle Monáe.

Twas a Black, Black Friday
Two Fridays ago was Black Friday — and as I got off work in the wee hours in the morning (also known as 0 dark hundred hours in nursing terminology) I was resolute on driving straight home. I had no intention of hitting the crowded malls filled with grumpy-quick-to-cop-an-attitude-deal crazed people overloaded on tryptophan and sleep deprived. Bad combination. Continue reading “Twas a Black, Black Friday”

In AWE
I can’t keep up with this wacky weather we are having in Jacksonville. One week we are freezing out in the 20s and the next we blazing in the 80s! How I miss having a real cold December. Continue reading “In AWE”

On Wednesdays We Wear Pink
Mean Girls has to be one of my favorite high school themed movies of my generation. What’s not to love — it’s high school drama adapted for the big screen with a super funny and talented cast featuring the fresh freckled faced Lindsay Lohan at the top of her game and the world of fame (and cocaine) at her feet.
