Parisian Influences: Date Night In Paris (well sort of…)

When Anita first asked me to join her Paris Party, I thought, “A whole week of Paris posts???”  How could I do that when I have never set foot in the country?  But, I began to look around me and found a little bit of Paris everywhere!  Yesterday, I wrote of the French influences in…

Stripes, Dots, What’s Next? A Contest!

I know, I know…it looks fishy!  But, honestly, Gigi and I have not done this all school year and now at the end we have done it twice.  Last week, we wore the same color palette of polka dots on the same day (Polka Dot Post).  Yesterday, we both wore black and white stripes!! For…

I have written before how much I like Eileen Fisher!  I will spend free time looking through the stylish, carefree knits on her website…and aspire to own some of her clothes one day.   For now, I use her site for inspiration.  I purchased the GRACE jacket I am wearing last year at Stein Mart for…

Neutrals and Chocolate

Neutrals and Chocolate

It’s time to take a small rest from the extreme colors of Fiesta and put my life in neutral…literally!  I really prefer today’s neutral based style (pictured below), but, I will admit, bright color dabbling has been fun! While thinking of neutrals, I could not resist an invite to a CHOCOLATE RECEPTION at the The International…

Soft Surroundings: Visibility And A Giveaway!

Make Me Smile!  Yes, I am one of those who really love a rainy afternoon…maybe because we do not have that many in San Antonio!  But, I do realize that the weather this spring is very dangerous and I hope all of you are safe!  I grew up in Tornado Alley and know how nerve…
