You've gotta love shopping for someone else and then scoring the cutest thing in the store for yourself. I took Jackson to American Eagle to buy him jeans for a Bar Mitzvah party, and just as we were checking out, I spotted it. A blue and white gingham tank top with a...
This is a serious handbag alert people. Quilted, chain bags are the must have bag this season. Coco Chanel designed the Classic Quilted 2.55 bag in the mid 1950's and while its popularity ebbs and flows, it is definitely on-trend right now. I know some of you are...
"More is more and less is a bore." said Iris Apfel. When life becomes predictable, it can get boring. And while that suits some people, it's definitely not for me. I'll never forget the time when Kerry, Jackson (who was 6 or 7 years old at the time) and I were headed...
The weather in New England has been really weird. Last week, it got cold enough for us to turn on the heat for the first time and this week it's going to be in the high 60's. The Connecticut weather is so unpredictable! My decision making skills on what to pack away...

Sun Kissed Shoulders Awhile back, I blogged about how off the shoulder tops are on again (here) and it was followed by a post on a cold shoulder top (here). I see a trend developing, that's code for obsession. This blouse from Primark offers the best of both worlds,...

Off-the-shoulder tops are one of the biggest fashion trends this season - and I couldn't be more excited that they are making a comeback! An OTS top can be a transformative item of clothing because it changes your look and your image. When I see a woman in an...
I have a very good problem. I have more ideas to share with you than days allow. Therefore, my monthly Birchbox Subscription Review for December had to take a back seat to all the holiday-related content (no disrespect to the makeup Goddesses). Opening up my monthly...
Mixed crystal jewelry from J. Crew - my favs this fall on CT in Style, a Connecticut-based lifestyle blog. Mixed stones. Mixed crystals. This fall's fashion trend is to mix it up on your ears, neck and your wrist with a burst of colorful and bright jewelry to make you...
I find that in the summertime, I need less of everything. This applies to my clothes, my shoes and my handbag. I usually leave my handbag in the car and just grab my wallet and mobile phone. On date nights, however, I take a few more items with me and that's why cross...
Jumpsuits are so on-trend right now! I like the fact that they are so versatile and can be worn with sneakers, cute sandals and heels. Jumpsuits are so light and sexy for the summer and they barely need any accessories. They are the perfect "lazy-girl" outfit. Here is...
As we welcome in the warm weather, the layers come off in favor of clothes that are more streamlined. I'm seeing lots of airy, light weight summer dresses that are very simple and beautiful. While I am in favor of simplicity, I also subscribe to the French phrase je...

I think it is fun to experiment with makeup tricks from time to time. Most days, I keep my makeup to a minimum because I prefer a more natural look. The three things that I rarely leave the house without wearing are eyeshadow, mascara and lipstick/gloss. My...
