Summer Program: She's Got The Look
An Older (older, meaning 35-50) perspective on America's Next Top Model...I have only seen one episode so far and I can definitely watch it with the lacking of interesting shows to watch during the summer...Fashion experts like Robert Verdi, and top glam models that teach these ladies how to work it on the runway and how to get real with who they really are....
Why The Scarf?
My friend asked me this question when he saw me in Cali on our vaca donning one after my flight...there are a couple reasons that I wear mine...
1. If it gets chilly at night, it is just the right level of coverage for keeping warm...
2. Breezy days in certain locations are still going on during the day and keeps you cool with a little tank.
3. Scarves on the plane are essential to keep warm...who wants to use the plane blanky? Eww....
4. And, aren't they just so chic? Our fashionistas in France are very well-known for wearing a scarf everyday...shouldn't we join the bandwagon?
Shop Bop has a slew of scarves to choose from this season...check them out to find one just for you...the site also shows a variety of ways you can wear the scarf this season.
People To Meet, Places to Go: In Portland, Oregon
I love going to Portland and finding the many new jewels that the city has to offer! The city has grown so much since I was a kid and the entrepreneur level is so great in this town that anyone could take off with an idea...everyone is so supportive of ones ideas...here are a couple business cards I wanted to share.
Inspired By SATC the Movie
I watched:
And, had a vintage high waisted, long skirt that had a similar print to Carrie Bradshaw's dress...made into a dress...I can't wait to share it with everyone... I got very creative...the ladies at my alterations location LOVE when I come in with my ideas:)
I forgot to take a picture of the skirt before, but here is a shot of me wearing the belt that goes with the skirt...just for color:)
"Not" Racer-Backs
That is, Knot in the back of a racer back tank that you didn't put there...this seems to be the style detail for so many of the tanks this year...I am gravitating towards them more and more...I figured I would share them with everyone to see what you all think....
*The images to follow are not racer back styles, but are still knotted or twisted in some sort of way:) All items are from Urban Outfitters.

Lingerie Madness~Something Sexy, Something Fun
My hubby will finally be coming back from Iraq next month and I am having a bit of lingerie madness beyond what the faithful Victoria's Secret can provide.
I saw a pic of Tracee Ellis Ross at a lingerie boutique and decided to see what the site was all about...I know, the prices are high...but, one can always dream...right??? The Boutique: Kiki de Montparnasse
The Look, how can you say no...this goes beyond wearing it just to bed...I would wear these right when I got home...sexy, comfy, fashion friendly:
Tracee Ellis Ross-My Fashion Inspiration
Amazing style...I was being selfish and just searching pictures for myself and decided to stop and share what I found...

*Same shoes in the next 3 images....see, even divas like Tracee know how to reuse a shoe...

Men's Gladiators Sandals Search
Where oh Where are Men's Gladiator's Sandals? The trend is strong for women...but, men, which wore them in the Greek and Roman times are not sporting them yet...is there a reason why they aren't? Are they not in style for men, or are they not available anywhere?
The closest things I found were:
Gucci
D&G---these are right on! Do you think men would really wear these? I have to ask my hubby:)
*Of course the designer brands were right on with the trend!
