Now that I’m blessed with two children we find all kinds of adventures to get into. Recently we visited Cayden Ridge, a beautiful new community in Manassas, VA. It was a very hot day, but the sun was shining bright which made the home interiors even more stylish and vivid. Yes, stylish! The palette of these homes provides…
New York Fashion Week has been a dream of mine for a very long time. Honestly, out of all the years I’ve wanted to go I figured this would be the most UNLIKELY year for me to attend. I mean, I just had a baby 9 months ago and a 14 year-old starting High School…
I’m one for stretching my style muscle but a coat with colorful fur is a piece that I wouldn’t pick up on my own. “It’s not my style” I’d say, or “it’s too trendy”. But when I was gifted this coat for Christmas by my cousin I figured, why not. It’s unlike anything in my…

I’ve tried rigging my…

The beautiful thing about this time of year is that you can do just about anything fashion-wise. So, what better thing to do than to wear a cute long-line jacket while drinking a margarita? I can’t think of many, especially when that jacket feels like sweatshirt material and is less than $35.00, and the margarita…

It’s officially fall! We’re just a few days into the most fashionable time of year, and although most of those days have been filled with rain, we’re excited nonetheless to start mixing and matching warm with cold weather gear. My favorite part is being able to keep my legs out in skirts or shorts (summer)…
