Style Sheets: Back to my files! 50′s Euro Chic from Lucky magazine
I’ve kept this image in my files for several years because I find this modern take on 50s inspired European style perennially inspiring. Women like Sophia Loren and Gina Lollobrigida embraced their sensuality and it informed their personal styles. I love the combination of structured and easy pieces like pencil skirts and peasant blouses with the addition...
Frock Friday: Stripes for Spring!
Ahh, a work day look, not the most exciting. But it’s outdoors! Glorious Spring is here! So I got the bag I am carrying here because I ruined a purse I got at the end of last year by carrying around so much stuff. This thing seems indestructible, which is a good thing. I’ll keep my...

Another Thursday night at home on the couch? No way! This Thursday, get your girlfriends together for some end of the week retail therapy and head to It’s a Girl Thing at Hall’s on the Country Club Plaza.

Style Sheets: Retro Modern
A new one again, sorry about that. Isn’t it cool though? I’ll get back to my notebooks next week. See the rest of this editorial here.
Shoesday Re-Mix Vintage Shoes
Hello Lover! Insert Carrie Bradshaw’s voice here. Full disclosure here, I do not own anything from Re-Mix Vintage Shoes. However you better believe I will be saving my pennies to buy this reproduction D’Orsay pump called Eva. I don’t know why I don’t buy more D’Orsay styles, I have high arches so they do look...
Shoesday: time to get a pedicure!
Time to start thinking about peep toes and sandals again! This fun 70s inspired wedge isn’t the typical kind of retro inspired look I go for. You wouldn’t have to wear it with a maxi dress and floppy hat, though that would be cute. I am imagining with skinny, pale pink cropped jeans and that...
Style Sheets: New, but worth sharing
I’m cheating this week because I wanted an excuse to share this editorial from Vogue China, March 2012. Check out the rest of the shoot here, featuring lots of prints!
03.09.12 Frock Friday: Sin City cocktails
Our last night in Las Vegas was a great excuse to get dressed up and go out on the town. My husband and I had dinner at Hubert Keller’s Fleur at Mandalay Bay before heading downtown. Our destination was the Downtown Cocktail Room, a spot mostly inhabited by locals. I was happy to see a...
8 things for Spring
I am not really a Spring person. I am a Fall/Winter person. Spring and Summer dressing just confuses and infuriates me. In the last two years however, I feel like I have hit some kind of stride and have kind of found a way to dress around the warm months without hating life every morning....
Shoesday extra: A less hideous TOMS shoe?
Ok, so just learned about these.* Photo via Nordstrom They still do the “one for one” program for these new ballet flats. Which might actually get me into a pair because this new style is actually somewhat cute. See more colorways here and here. * UPDATE: So leave it to my sister to let me know on Facebook that...
Shoesday. It’s a thing.
I’m abandoning Quotes to Inspire because it’s my blog and I can do that. But instead I am bringing you something even better. Shoes. Every week I am going to show you, my lovely readers, shoes I am excited about. Because, you know, I spend a lot of time looking at shoes, and sometimes they...
Style Sheets: Girls in Glasses (and a bathtub!)
This was part of a magazine editorial but I can’t even figure out what magazine it was from, except to say that it wasn’t American because there was quite a bit of nudity. I love the cat eye glasses, and the lingerie in the rest of the feature was pretty fab too!
