Wardrobe Staples – Run Around Chic

The Straw Bag

I haven’t purchased a straw bag yet. I can’t decide on a shoulder bag or a hand carry. The photos motivate me to get a shoulder bag, but the handle version is cute too. I also marvel at these women, who manage to always look chic and pulled together, I wonder sometimes if I lookContinue reading “The Straw Bag”

The Striped Sweater – Part 2

Looks like the striped sweater is here to stay, it has become a wardrobe staple for all seasons. I just found one that I feel I can wear without looking too commercial. I kind of want the Navy and white striped sweater too, but I don’t have anything that would really go with it andContinue reading “The Striped Sweater – Part 2”

Thinking pink

I’ve had pink on the brain since my beautiful niece came into the world. My sisters and I continuously put her in pink, why, because she’s our little pink rose. My mother used to dress me in pink and for years I shied away from it. Now, I’m all into it. I still don’t haveContinue reading “Thinking pink”

Style From The Streets of Milan, New York & Copenhagen

I love everything about these stylish women. I’m tempted to add more sneakers to my growing collection, tempted to invest in another designer handbag. Wistful for a piece of leopard. If I had a mood board, these photos would be on it. Here’s to running around chic…..

What Have You Bought, Lately?

I’ve been adding pieces to my wardrobe, items I can wear with my leggings and boots. These are just a few of the additions to my closet. I did buy the top right blouse in white and another oversized black dress shirt from a brand called “Frankie”, plus a long sleeveless blazer that can beContinue reading “What Have You Bought, Lately?”

The Straw Bag

All last summer I was in search of the perfect straw bag for my summer dresses. I looked and I looked and could never find something I was really in-love with. I knew I wanted it to go over my shoulder, there were some nice fair-trade versions I’ve seen at the hardware store and Wholefoods,Continue reading “The Straw Bag”

It’s Still Cold Outside

I’m glad it’s still cold outside, it justifies my most recent purchase, a Faux Fur by Milano Furs. I first heard of this brand because of @Danividas. She posted an Insta-story where she was dressing, using this gorgeous fur gilet. I of course had to have one as well, but I ordered a black gilet,Continue reading “It’s Still Cold Outside”

Valentine’s Day Gifts to Yourself

I don’t know about you guys, but I’ve become my own Valentine, even if I were in a relationship, I definitely would not wait around for him to plan anything special. I’ve been there and done that and it’s not worth it. Oh, don’t feel bad for me, it’s fine, I am on the rightContinue reading “Valentine’s Day Gifts to Yourself”

Paris Fashion Week

My first time in Paris was Paris Fasion week, but my sisters and I were oblivious to that fact until they saw Lucy Liu walking down the street. My sister and I had dinner at Budda Bar that evening and saw a table full of women that looked familiar and only after the fact weContinue reading “Paris Fashion Week”

Winter in Paris

I’ve only been to Paris twice in my life, my first time was in the winter. Paris is the most beautiful city in the world, with the pinks, greys, the hues of the city are enchanting. I love people watching, next time I plan to sit at Cafe d’Flore and people watch all-day. Maybe getContinue reading “Winter in Paris”

Wardrobe Refresh Part 2

I’ve been preparing for the end of the pandemic for the last two years. I have everything I need to re-enter society. But it seems that I have grown quite lazy. I had a grooming routine going on for decades that abruptly came to a halt and now it’s having to get used to itContinue reading “Wardrobe Refresh Part 2”

The Striped Sweater

Ladies, this is the correct way to wear a striped sweater, everything about this photo is chic, pulled together and comfortable. You can wear a striped sweater with denim, tapered sweat pants, and even a skirt. I recently started buying sweaters again, it’s been really cold out lately and purchased a striped sweater from ZaraContinue reading “The Striped Sweater”

Wardrobe Refresh

I hope everyone had a nice Holiday Season. In the middle of another Covid outbreak it was difficult to meet with all of our friends, but overall the season was enjoyable. I picked up a few items to help refresh my wardrobe. Anine Bing is having a sale and I ended up picking up threeContinue reading “Wardrobe Refresh”

Oh, Plaid

I was in Chicago over the past weekend and couldn’t help but notice that Plaid was strong in Chicago. I must have seen 5 different women wearing plaid with their designer bags and shoes walking up and down E Oak Street. E Oak Street is the fashionable street of Chicago, like Dearborn Street is toContinue reading “Oh, Plaid”

The Epitome of Modern Style

What is style? It starts off with embracing yourself, your body and loving yourself regardless of your weight. Then you add wearing pieces you love, and investing in quality basics, a nice handbag, a coat, sunglasses and some Jewlery and a nice pair of shoes. I used to think that one should not wear moreContinue reading “The Epitome of Modern Style”
