In the Red
In the Red
Today I picked up a copy of InStyle magazine and what should my wandering eyes spy? A fashionably forward page "Add a pop of garnet"
I have always had a love affair for ruby red slippers and this season, so will you. Do you love the look of a red shoe that pops, but aren't brave enough to buy them? It takes a confident person to put that fashionable foot forward. Everyone knows me for my red hunter boots, my red fringe bag, my red driving mocs, my red glasses, but most of all my red lips, right? Why can't that be confident you? Why even question it, because it can be you? Two days ago I hit a sale at Jcrew and picked up red leather pointy toe ballet flats. I got an amazing deal on them. I showed up in an early fall catalog. Well I am glad I waited, because they were 25% off and by giving them my email address, they gave me an additional 10%!!!!! I walked out leaving Jcrew and myself (depending how you look at it), "In the red."

Transition with ease this fall in a lightweight patterned peasant blouse. |
"Glam it up" by adding a little bling. Bracelets by Lucky Brand Jeans
I shopped early for floaty or traditional blouses with a touch of flair that I could pair with sandals and jeans. I swore that this season and seasons going forward that I would curb my wardrobe. I decided to turn back to the classics and I did.
I just couldn't resist the strong desire to mix, match and accessorize, but I am attempting to do it more subtly than ever.
Denim pumps by Nanolo Blahnik, Trousers by Ann Taylor Loft, and cathair and goat skin handbag by DKNY |
Why? Classics never fail. You can never look at a photo and say, "why did I wear that?" And secondly, if you work with classic pieces, they are less noticeable if you "switch it up a bit," not to mention a much less crammed closet, where I can actually see what I own without feeling overwhelmed. The best part of it all, affordability.
Classics never go out of style and there is nothing more comforting than a high quality blazer that is tapered for your body. blazer by Ralph Lauren. Brazilian equestrian boots by Matisse, army green blouse by Old Navy, suede laced up Denim Jeans by Mudd and African spring bok fur bag by Diane Gail (a staple in my wardrobe for years)
Classics don't necessarily mean spending less on pieces, but you will likely need much less to achieve stylish looks. How? By rotating jewelry, switching blouses under sweaters and classic jeans or trousers are timeless.
Unconventional style is not a new style but the oldest of styles. The most fashion forward icons of the past had an artistic vision for what they wore. Above you'll find unconventional style that still has a classic feel that gives this ensemble its edgy look. Here I mixed prints from cheetah to two different plaid patterns and once again layered my look with a denim blouse and a gold beaded neckless. Yet unconventional once again, leave your shirt tails hanging out of your blouse. Shoes from DSW, vintage bag, large denim boy's blouse by Chats, jeans by
Koral, royal blue stone rings by Old Navy.
You need less shoes too (said no woman ever!) lol. When did I have this epiphany? When we put our home on the market and I was told I needed to purge my closets. My realtor said my hangers should be at least an inch apart! I nearly fell over. Once I accepted what I needed to do, I was like a whirlwind and there was no turning back. I embarrassingly bagged about 30 bags of clothes and accessories. Truthfully, I have never felt more free. To walk in my closet and actually see each item is a huge weight lifted off my shoulders. In fact, I did this with my entire house. As beautiful as it "was," I am at peace with all of it. Nevertheless, this is about fashion, so let's stick to it! This fall, my wardrobe consists of several navy blue sweaters, classic blouses such as white, pinstripes, and dark gingham. I also purchased several black items, dug up two pairs of classic jeans in my collection and tossed all of my trendy pieces including; shoes, hats, fun jewelry, varieties of scarves (from silk to wool) and purses. I must have parted with at least 7 pairs of sneakers. My absolute favorites in each category were kept and like I said, I feel so incredibly free. I did pick up some patterned pieces though shopping for my reinvented self, but kept them classic like I said. What am I getting at here? Classic meets elegant trendy touches makes for the perfect ensemble, season after season and time after time.
Turn a classic preppy t-shirt into the look of the moment. Take this simple Merona boating shirt and give it some stem by placing it on top of a denim chambray blouse. in order to transform simple into chic roll your denim top over the striped shirt and add a coordinating brooch. Expect the unexpected when you throw in a pair of denim jeans with leopard valet flats and a plaid clutch. choose chandelier earrings OR an arm full of gold bracelets. When it comes to Jewelry, less is always more. Boy's denim blouse by Chaps, pegged leg jeans by Koral, shoes by name unknown but any leopard shoe will do.
Between seasons, keep your wardrobe purged and full of staple pieces. As for the temperature trivia, don't rush the season. Plan your ensemble accordingly, as I did this season.

Tailgate Blog
Tailgate Blog
Pick up your copy of Lehigh Valley STYLE magazine, September 2015 to see my tailgating styling feature!
Well, football season is in full swing, so what better
way to start the season, but on a glorious day tailgating in STYLE?
Not everyone has to enter the stadium to see the game, it all about the energy, the rumbling of the bleachers, the hooting and hollering and the adrenaline that will have everyone pumped up for game day.
So with that said, invite family and friends alike and ensure everyone has a dish lined up for the big day.
How much fun would it be to even tailgate in the park, where the kids can join in the fun, playing on the swings and a place to run around?
It's possible, especially given today's technology, you can bring the game to you rather than going to the game.
Don't want to miss the game at home? Have a pre-tailgate!
Plan your party with a pre-party! Give yourselves ample time to cook and party!
Don't forget to include driving time, set up and clean up.
With a pre-party everyone is well fed and you can head home, get everyone showered and in their PJ's before hitting the couch!

Mexican Corn
Mexican Corn
But what if I told you I could I could tickle your tummy at your next barbecue, make you chef extraordinaire and make it as healthy as can be with my simple recipe for Mexican corn on the cob? I think you would say, "Your hired!"
Boil or grill your corn on the cob as you normally would.
Place your corn on the cob on a lined baking sheet or in a large flat Pyrex-type dish.
Roll a lime on your counter pushing down on it as you roll it to release the juices.
Slice your lime in half.
Rub the entire corn with the lime, squeezing and pressing the lime into the corn as you go.
Next, gently sprinkle your corn with chili powder, salt and pepper (garlic powder is a nice touch too!) and serve.
Olè, Mexican corn is born!
Enjoy!
