Maine-ly Me
"Go put on TIGHTS. We are having dinner at Grandma Sowless tonight." My mom would say and as the word tights left her mouth I would shutter. There was always a special place in hell for those suckers and for the longest time that's where I wanted them to stay. It may have been me [...]
Happy Valentine's Day! I am a sucker and I mean a SUCKER for this "hallmark holiday". Have been since it was a homework assignment in grade school to make a valentine's day mailbox out of a shoebox. Screw the math homework I would spend hours on that thing, making sure it was fully decked out [...]
Iris Apfel said once "When the fun goes out of getting dressed you might as well be dead." Sometimes I forget that, and because I have this picture of what I want the outfit or blog post to portray, it gets stressful to always try and figure out. And as a planner I ALWAYS want [...]
I feel like in this “scroll happy” world we live in these days, we can sometimes get caught up in the want or desire to have all of the things we seeing as we are doing said “scolling”. It creates this lust for things that may be a bit out of our reach as well [...]
Basic; only interested in things mainstream, popular, and trending, as defined by the ever so clever “Urban Dictionary”.

If you don’t know by now, I am all about breaking a fashion rule especially when it is just stupid. And “no white after Labor Day” is just stupid. There is actually nothing I love more than a great winter white moment. I don’t know why but I find that winter white is almost easier [...]
I have such a special place in my fashion heart for sweaters and they take up an even bigger place in my closet. When the temperature finally drops I come to find myself living in sweaters so you can imagine the array of styles and colors I have in my sweater arsenal. I think that [...]
Forget that old color rule. It’s basically like the white after Labor Day one — totally dated and totally untrue. It’s like a fashion urban legend, you follow? This color combo lends an earthy-chic feel that’s perfect for fall and winter. The trick with black and brown outfits is to know how to combine colors, fabrics, and shapes to [...]
They may not be flashy like metallic midis or luxe like velvet boots, but button-down shirts are the unsung heroes of our wardrobe. Think about it: What else works as well with ripped jeans as it does with a pencil skirt? Can go from office to brunch in a snap? This season, shirting is finally [...]
