Find Your Fashion Groove

An hour later, you are still standing in your skivvies staring at the clothes in your closet wishing you had something remotely cute to wear. You’ve already had on ...

2014 Fall Fashion Trends: Get the Look

At the start of each new season, fashion magazines with the new “In” looks get us girls all in a tizzy. Especially fun when our coming season wardrobe is still buried in the back of our closet & just a dream-like memory. Then we pull out next season’s clothes & the panic sets in. Nothing in our closet walked down any recent runway. In fact, it all looks more like road-kill after a 24 hour flight around the world in coach.

That’s okay. We plan a shopping excursion that Coco Chanel would approve. But the prices. Even our special, exclusive, VIP, behind-the-scenes, secret shopper, confidential club membership won’t help you get those prices down! Besides, who wants to wear a crazy, colored fur that ...

A Happy Closet

Spring is finally here….I think. And in anticipation, I flipped my closet from heavy, wooly, itchy, dark, winter clothes to bright, airy, light, happy spring clothes. What a difference it made! Mind you, my closet is always in some form of tidy.

So when I decided last weekend it was time to flip for the season, it really was just to pull forward my lighter wardrobe.

However, it’s absolutely amazing what you can pack into a small space…or a large space. No matter how much space we have, we all manage to squeeze ...
