It ain't easy being green. Okay, that's a lie. We all know by now that green is the color of summer...or maybe just MY color of summer, but either way, it IS easy being green..because the vibrant color suits so many skin tones.Here's my latest green pairing...

Lace for Summer
It may seem odd to wear a half sleeve top in the height of summer, but when it's lacey, it's airy and perfectly suited to keep you cool (though, in my case, I had to use a heating pad at my desk all day because of the office's frigid A/C). Imagine how much money all companies could save if they turned the temperature up just two degrees in ...
Orange You Glad I Heart Coral? & Bubble Necklaces for $19.99!
I always shyed away from coral and orange colors, but this summer, I've embraced coral, blood orange and everything in between. In fact, two of my most recent outfits have featured pretty pops of orange: In addition to adding lots of pink, green and blue to my wardrobe this summer, I'm glad I also stepped out of my comfort zone ...
From Desk to Dinner- Styling Banana Republic’s New Collection
When you work in an office, it's important to have pieces in your wardrobe that can transition from day to night. You'll get more wear out of the item and it will become a staple piece in your closet. When Banana Republic contacted me about their new Desk to Dinner collection, which features work-worthy styles that easily transition to ...
Bright to Brunch
We went out for an early brunch this morning so that we could start our day of errands...little did we know there would be a torrential downpour later on. There is so much thunder and lightening happening right now, I'm surprised I still have an Internet connection. We did get to squeeze in our grocery shopping though, which was great.I decided to ...
Saturday Snaps: Hair Cut & Color
This morning, I headed to Michael Kemper salon to meet my new hair stylist, Chuck, who came highly recommended by my best friend Candice.I was a little nervous at first, but I felt comfortable right away and he really took the time to go over what I wanted. I asked him to keep me a brunette, give me a bit of a very subtle ombre look and also ...
Going “Subtle” Ombre- What’s Next for My Hair?
This is going to be a completely overly-analytical and borderline-OCD post about my hair...so bear with me. I mentioned recently on my Facebook page that I haven't gotten my hair colored or cut since February (yikes!) The truth is, I needed a break. I wanted to just let my hair grow out a bit and get some of my natural color flowing ...
All of Your Shoe & Foot Questions- Answered!
In today's most unsexy blog post ever, we're going to talk about feet. Yup, feet. Big feet, small feet, smelly summer feet (you’re cringing right now, right?) I had the idea to do this post a few weeks ago when I was (in my head) cursing the way the summer heat and humidity made me feel in my shoes. I asked Kelly, founder of Stiletto Hardware (you ...
Emerald
Oh the J.Crew Lucille dress. We met over a month ago. We gave eachother a look. You tempted me with your beauty, but when I looked at your price tag, my dreams of having you in my closet were shattered. Then, last weekend, you were on sale for $99.99 plus an additional 30 % off and now, we're going steady (because let's just be honest, your ...
A Great Investment
I feel like I've written this before about this blouse, but this is probably one of my best investments of 2011/2012. It goes with everything and is incredibly comfortable. I think the black and white classic stripes make it quite seasonless as well, which is a bonus. Shirt & Skirt- J.Crew (similar vertical stripe; ...
