  • Fashion Friday: Entrenched

    The trench coat is one of those pieces that always ends up on a fashion “must-have” list. Universally flattering, it can transform the most mundane outfit into something so chic. Part starlet and part spy, wearing a trench adds a little bit of glamour to the everyday 

  • Fasion Friday: Western

    Living in Kansas, the idea of Western wear can seem a little tired. But, this doesn’t seem very boring. Does it?

  • Polished

    A few weeks ago, I mentioned the new “it” Chanel nail polish color was Black Pearl. I was right about it being a hot new color, but after some serious hours of research, I’m pleased to report that basically any color goes this Spring. Shades of pink, yellow, blue and green have all been seen on…

  • Fashion Friday: Prints

    This spring, fashion designers have created some great printed options. If your wardrobe is a sea of solids, it’s time to try something new. I’ll admit finding a great print can seem a little intimidating, but it’s worth the risk. The right print can inject a bit of personal style into your wardrobe. I’ve pulled together a group of…

  • Fashion Friday: Wedges

    While working on this post, my husband suggested I do something for the men this Friday, perhaps discuss plaid. I did not take his advice. Instead of writing about wintry plaid, I wanted to focus on summer. And to me, nothing says warmer weather quite like wedges, which are supposed to be in fashion this season. Forecasts here…

  • Fashion Friday: A Touch of Leopard

    Animal prints have been a huge trend for several seasons, and to me, it’s no surprise. Personally, I’m a huge believer in the power of  a great animal print. A year ago, my husband gave me the chicest pair of leopard heels, and they have quite literally transformed my wardrobe. The timeless punch of leopard…

  • Fashion Friday: White Hot

    White is “in” for Spring this year, and while this trend might seem predictable, there is something refreshing about putting on white. Unfortunately, I have mostly quit tanning in an effort to keep my skin pretty, and as many of you know, white can be difficult to wear without a little color. If you’re unsure how this…

  • New Lipgloss

      Have you seen these yet? They’re the newest lipgloss from Clinique called the Chubby Stick Moisturizing Lip Colour Balm. The colors are sheer, but still pack a little punch. If you haven’t given them a try, you might want to check them out.

  • Fashion Friday: Lace

    A few weeks ago, I was discussing Fashion Friday with my friend Tara. I told her I was thinking about color as a post topic and rattled off a few other ideas.  She suggested the lace trend for Spring. She’s a very smart girl.  Our conversation prompted a search of all things lacy on my end. Unfortunately, I haven’t…

  • Fashion Friday: Color

    Color by missalaneyus Maybe it’s just me, but this constant state of snow has me yearning for a strong shot of color. Luckily, the 2011 Spring collections incorporated a variety of vibrant colors, often in deep jewel tones: aqua, red, royal blue, purple, fuchsia and green. In the photos above, you’ll see how they mixed…
