Flamingo Sky
Monday, September 19, 2016
Fall by the calendar will officially begin this week and I sure can feel in the air that fall is coming. Some of the mornings have been pretty chilly. That's ok as I love fall time.
I thought since it is still officially summer though I would wear one last summer outfit but even though this is a summer outfit all of these pieces can be easily transitioned into fall outfits by adding just the right pieces. Flamingos are mostly thought of as a summer print but I could easily take this top into fall by adding a pink blazer and a black pair of pants. This sky print skirt can also go into fall. It is made from scuba like fabric that is a littler heavier material which is perfect for the cooler weather. I think I may try wearing this skirt with a dark purple turtleneck and matching purple tights this fall. That is a fun color combination that I like to play with.
Have you been transitioning your summer clothing into this fall?

Sweet Watermelon
Thursday, September 08, 2016
It's not officially fall yet and the weather is still quite warm so I don't need to wear tights with my dresses yet but I am enjoying wearing my dresses with some adorable ankle socks. I think these watermelon socks from Tabbisocks add just the right amount of fun to any outfit and they especially look adorable with my matching flats and my Mary Frances watermelon bag. These socks do go up quite a bit higher on the leg as I am wearing them folded so think about how cute they would be to wear with pants or longer capris'.
What are you wearing on these last days of summer?

Coque Millinery by Ericah
Friday, September 02, 2016
I am sure you have noticed my extreme love of hats! I wear one almost everyday as I love the way they add something special to every outfit! Not just any hat will do though, it has to be perfect!
I am so excited to have discovered COQUE MILLINERY by Ericah as the hats are exquisite. Every hat is custom made using traditional millinery techniques that includes using wooden hat blocking to form the base of each hat. Every hat is made of quality materials and is completely unique. My favorite thing is that they all have a sweet vintage charm to them!
Ericah is the designer and owner of COQUE MILLINERY and grew a love for hats at an young age, she would often restore old hats and make a new design from remnants of fabrics and supplies that she had on hand. Making hats just became a natural hobby as she grew up in a traditional home where ladies always wore hats for special occasions. Ericah designs hats that are elegant, timeless and vintage inspired for confident women who appreciate quality and excellence.
Coque, pronounced 'kok' is derived from the French, meaning 'a small loop of ribbon or feathers used in trimming hats' which is a signature touch that you'll see on Ericah's designs where she uses an assortment of feathers - primarily the peacock feather. "The beauty that the peacock bird represents, with the techno colours of its feathers, is astonishing, says Ericah. In essence, we want women to see the beauty that they possess, when they wear a design from COQUE MILLINERY."
If you need a hat for a special occasion or maybe one for everyday then check out all of Ericah's beautiful designs at: www.coquemillinery.com

Lemon Twist
Wednesday, August 24, 2016
Prints, prints, and more prints! This summer really has been full of prints and I am definitely not complaining as I love to wear fun prints! I have gone from wearing florals, to flamingos, to pineapples and now lemons this summer. I have said it before but the lemon print always gives me that retro feel of the 50's. I guess you could say this look is a modern take on a 50's housewife. Times definitely have changed but it is always fun to see some fashions come back again!
What has been your favorite print this summer?

Pineapples & cats
Tuesday, August 16, 2016
With a blog title like 'Pineapples and Cats' I bet you were thinking how can that combination go together?! Well I can tell you that I am surprised how well the 2 actually work together in an outfit! Sometimes when I play around with a few pieces in my closet they come together to make one of the most unique outfits.
Wearing clear socks can be a little more challenging to wear then regular socks but trust me this adorable pair from Tabbisocks are just the right accessory for your feet. I have worn these socks with ankle pants as well with just a little bit of the design peaking out and it makes me smile when I look down at my feet!!! They are so nice and light making them great for the warm weather. The thing I like the most about these socks is how perfectly they match my fabulous pineapple bag from Mary Frances. Cutest summer combo ever!
Now just a quick mention of my cat blouse. I don't think I could ever resist not getting this blouse. I completely love that it looks like I have a cat peaking out of my pocket! Seriously one of the most unique blouses I have ever come across.
So tell me what do you think of my combination of pineapples and cats??!!!! :)
