Okay!  I absolutely love this dress from River Island.

I immediately was attracted to the dark floral print and the sweet layered ruffles.  It’s such a darling style and will be perfect for Fall.

I totally get Downton Abbey vibes with the cut and style of the dress, don’t you?  I kept the old world inspired feels going by adding diamond dot tights and vintage inspired block heels.

Speaking of Downton Abbey, have you heard that they are bringing the story to the big screen?!

I can’t seem to get enough of a pretty little white dress especially for the summer.  This cut-out crotchet dress from Navabi is sure to be restyled for a simply and chic look for those warm summer days and nights. 

A clean white dress is the perfect backdrop to add pops of color.  I chose sunny yellow to make this feminine look a little bright, fun and flirty.

A great color to incorporate into your spring wardrobe is a zesty citrus orange.  Don’t be afraid to tackle on this tone because when you find the right shade you actually accentuate your own coloring!

The trick is to balance the boldness with a neutral.

I chose to wear a white eyelet detailed blouse.  It’s charming and simple enough that it doesn’t clash or compete with the color of my skirt.

Blue jeans are as all-American as baseball, Coca-Cola and summertime BBQs—or are they? Believe it or not, your beloved dungarees actually have French origins. Sacre bleu!

The word “denim” is actually derived from the French term serge de Nîmes, or “serge from Nîmes.” Serge is a type of sturdy, ridged twill fabric, and the French city of Nîmes was known for its textiles—and was churning out indigo pants long before Levi’s.

A few weeks ago I met Charlie.  Charlie Brown that is.  He’s a 4 month old pure bread Dalmatian and it was love at first woof.

I had a minor Cruella moment and wanted to style a look inspired by Charlie’s natural spots and I was fortunate to have Charlie Brown join me in this style shoot.

He was such a good boy and a natural in front of the camera.

Staying chic and warm is easily done with this fashion 1-2 punch.  

An oversized sweater with over the knee boots gives me celebrity style vibes without being too pretentious — after all I am ultimately pantless in public in the get up.

Plus women might steer away from anything oversized with the fear of looking bigger.  I understand that but I’m not limited by it.  I wear what I like based on how I feel.
