August Rose
Monday, August 13, 2018
Can you believe it's already the middle of August?! The summer months have sure gone by fast and this summer it has been an incredibly hot here. The heat doesn't seem to be letting up any time soon either. I have seen lots of fall clothing in the stores already but I am not quite ready yet to begin thinking about that. I can't even imagine trying on a sweater! LOL!
Since I love to wear so many printed midi skirts, especially one like this adorable skirt (click here to see it) I think pairing it with a simple tshirt is best to stay cool in the hot weather. Also by putting on a simple tshirt I can put on more fun accessories and that always makes an outfit stand out!!! I do love my accessories! In the fall I will just change out the short sleeve tshirt for a long sleeve tshirt and it's perfect!
What's your favorite way to wear a midi skirt in the hot weather?

Bon Bon Voyage
Wednesday, August 01, 2018
I am always happy to add a cute purse to my collection of fun novelty bags especially one with a whitty saying on it too! This bag from Bag Me Baby is adorable! (click here to see the bag) I love the way it looks like a giant piece of candy and it has such a cute saying on it "Bon Bon Voyage". How can this bag not make you smile?! It holds all my essentials and I like that I can remove the shoulder strap and carry it like a clutch to change the look of it. This bag is a must have for anyone with a sweet tooth!
Bag Me Baby carries some really cute affordable bags for everyone. Check them out! I am sure you will find the perfect bag for you!

Isn't this embroidered tunic dress (click here to see it) just perfect for summer?! I love the extra details that were put into it! The longer ruffle sleeves, the ruffle hem and also some embroidery on the back. Some times I see designs that only have embroidery on the front but it's nice having that extra detail on the back.

Pencil Crayons
Friday, July 13, 2018
One trend I really like, that is not fashion related is those adult coloring books. I see them for sale everywhere and I have even seen a few adult coloring book groups. Although I haven't joined any groups I have purchased a few books for myself as I have loved to color my whole life. As a child I would enter quite a few coloring contests as I got to show my creative side. I think I would use the brightest colors possible and I am sure you would believe that about me by the way I dress today. I find doing these adult coloring books relaxing and they are definitely a lot more challenging than the kids ones. Although I wouldn't mind still doing one of those every now and then. LOL.
You can imagine my excitement when I saw this bright pencil crayon skirt from Chicwish online! (Click here to see it) I knew I needed to have it in my life! Chicwish always has amazing prints but this one seemed extra special to me! I can't wait to style it so many different ways and of course with some bright colored tops! I don't often wear a peplum top with full skirts but this one just seemed to work well with it.
Are you into the adult coloring book trend too?

Ride On
Tuesday, July 03, 2018
Wearing fantastic clothing always makes me feel great but my outfit isn't complete until I add the perfect accessories! A handbag is not just a thing that carries all of my essentials, it is something that compliments not only my outfit but me as well and tells people who I am. It doesn't matter if you like carrying a stunning simple bag or a fun wild bag but make sure it shows who you are.
I do love classic simple bags but my heart always goes out to the fun and unique ones. I guess that's just who I am. I love to see the look on people's faces when they see the adorable bag I am carrying. It usually starts a great conversation. My favorite handbags are always from Mary Frances. Her creative mind designs the most amazing bags and every season I must get another one to add to my collection. I treat all of her handbags with the best care putting them to sleep in their dust bags at night when I am done using them for the day. LOL. That way they will last forever and looking their best. I love all of the details Mary Frances puts into each bag. There really are so many details, right down to the littlest bead put in the perfect place. Just look at the adorable bag I am carrying from this seasons line. It's called 'Ride On' (click here to see it). It has the sweetest 3D bicycle scene on it! Everything about this bag is fabulous and it really does hold all of my essentials as the size is great. The bag does come with a detachable strap as well so you can wear it over the shoulder or crossbody making it perfect to wear with any outfit!
Check out all of the bags and accessories that Mary Frances has available (click here to see them all)
Some of my favorite bags available are Best Seller Books, Key to my Heart, Bubble Gum Machine, Buzzed Queen Bee but there are so many other fabulous ones!!
Don't you just love this tunic I am wearing?! (click here to see it) It's just perfect for summer!!! It is advertised as a dress but I personally wouldn't wear it as a dress. I am a very petite person and I find it to be too short and wide on me for that. One blow of the wind and I could be showing things I didn't intend to. LOL! I absolutely adore this piece as a tunic though and even when I picked it I knew I wanted to wear it as a tunic. It is extremely comfortable and it's 100% cotton so it's perfect for the warm days to stay cool. The embroidery is gorgeous too and I really like the unique trim around the hem and on the cuffs!
And Yes!, after I took these lovely photos I actually went for a bike ride in this outfit!!!

Pretty Patched Leggings
Wednesday, June 13, 2018
I think leggings are a must have in every ladies wardrobe. They are super easy to put on and they are so comfortable to wear! They also look amazing when layered with the right pieces. My favorite way to wear a pair of leggings is with a long tunic top. Since a tunic top is so long and is usually loose fitting wearing something more fitted on the bottom balances the look perfectly! I also adore wearing leggings with a shorter dress too! That looks so sweet and gives a little extra coverage when you feel you need it!
The leggings I am wearing from April Cornell are simply the best! Get 20% off with the promo code below! (See them all here - Canada - click here, USA - click here). The details on them are absolutely so unique as I have never seen a pair like them! The adorable fabric patches sewn on these leggings are a sampling of some of April Cornell's favorite fabrics of the season! These leggings are made from 96% cotton and 4% spandex so they are made with a quality material and they also provide good coverage so nothing shows through! I really like the fit of these leggings too, they are not skin tight like some leggings. They fit perfectly making them look more like a fitted pant which is ideal! I am a very petite person so I personally had these leggings hemmed a bit just to compliment my frame better. The design is still absolutely perfect! So if you are a tall person these leggings will work for you as well so don't worry!
These patch style leggings also come in a blue color as well which are just as fabulous! I think I might need a pair of those too as I love these ones so much! LOL! Check out all the fabulous leggings that April Cornell offers! Trust me you will love them all! (See them all here - Canada - click here, USA - click here)
