    Lovely Lavender Looks 

    Purple has been my favorite color since I have been young…I always prefer purple over pink but it is not always easy to find. Fortunately, this season, lavender has been everywhere and I have enjoyed shopping these styles this Spring. I love how this hue looks in both casual and dressy looks.

    Inspired by the 2019 Pantone Color of the Year

    Every year, Pantone selects a color of the year which provides inspirations to all industries…fashion, beauty, home decor and many more. This year, they selected Living Coral, which is a deep pinky coral.  What I like about coral is that it reminds me of summer. I usually style it with a vacation vibe…mixing it with natural accessories and footwear like straw, bamboo, jute. I usually wear turquoise jewelry because it gives it a nice pop.  

    I found this pretty dress at Revolve which is an easy dress to throw on for Spring and Summer occasions.  What I like about coral is it’s versatility. You can style it with white for a crisp look or army green and khaki for something more neutral. It works well with denim and so one coral item can be worn many ways.  I have selected a few fun pieces below. 

    Stay current and add a little coral into your wardrobe this Spring!

    Soft Skirts for Spring 

    Since shorts are not my thing…(we will discuss more around that another time πŸ™‚ )…I am often challenged on what to wear during the weekend. Denim is always an option, but sometimes too warm for Miami and while I like cute workout clothes, I usually do not wear them outside the gym. I am a bit old fashioned in that way and typically like to be more “dressed” when I go out. Which is why soft and casual skirts are an excellent option. 

    Style & Life Blog: Soft Skirts for Spring

    This soft skirt is made from a blend of cotton and spandex. It is stretchy, comfortable and just stylish enough that I feel pulled together for running errands.  Both skirt and top available at anthropologie.com.    

    Style & Life Blog: Soft Skirts for Spring

    This skirt is dressier and not quite right for errands but certainly perfect for lingering over lunch and a glass of wine. The soft leopard print makes it easy to dress up or down. Add a pop of color with either your shoes or bag for some fun. Top and skirt available at anthropologie.com, bag available at nordstrom.com

    Shop these styles and more below. Stay gorgeous friends!

    4 Ways to Style a Black Jacket

    4 Ways to Style a Black Jacket 

    One of the most essential pieces in my wardrobe is a black blazer. It is stylish, polished and versatile.  As a former buyer who has worked for a number of retail companies, I know that the making jackets is more expensive than many other categories. The construction, fit and fabrics that going to making a jacket are more costly than many other clothing items. It is important to select a jacket of good quality because a jacket made of poor quality will show it. In this post, I selected a black velvet blazer from L’Agence and am showing multiple ways to wear it.

    If you do not have a black blazer in your closet, think about investing in one. It is an item that you will wear for many years and can make it look different depending on how you style it. It is an excellent item to travel with because of the versatility. When selecting a black jacket, be sure to select a silhouette is flattering to your frame and made of a fabric you can mix and match with existing items in your closet.

    sI shared this story in a post a couple of years ago…it always comes to mind when I start thinking about what I am going to wear to holiday parties. I once attended a Christmas party at a dear friends home…he looked around at all of the women and said “Why are NONE of you ladies wearing red? It’s a holiday party!” I think of that conversation every holiday season. So in the true Christmas palette, I have selected some beautiful dresses that are chic will be festive for all of your holiday gatherings.
