Last Monday, as I was doing my blog rounds, linking up my Monday post and visiting blogs, I stopped by Laurie’s blog, Vanity and Me Style. I have always loved Laurie’s classy style but this is the first time I have tried to replicate one of her outfits. Laurie is a 50+ lifestyle and fashion blogger from the UK and she always looks put together in her outfits. On that day, the first outfit she wore really stood out with its white monochromatic tone and because I knew I could come up with something similar from my closet. I always have loved all white outfit and this was a perfect…

My floral Modcloth skirt is a fan favorite and also a favorite of mine. Here are the two post (here and here) where I have already featured it and I wanted to continue to show its versatility with new outtfit. I chose to wear this on Orthodox Easter (Pascha) this Sunday. I felt that is was a great way to celebrate the resurrection, with an outfit full of cheer and happiness with sunny colors and white! Of course, I had to take some pictures at my favorite bench as the spring background of new leaves makes for a pretty backdrop. This outfit is actually quite budget friendly coming to less…

In the fall and winter, I have been wearing solely my Zella high waisted leggings when I want to wear leggings instead of jeans. I always wear a tunic or long sweater with them. A few months ago, Jodie from Jtouchofstyle recommended the Go2Socks compression leggings in a post (the link takes you to one of 3 posts on reviewing the leggings). With such a difference in price, I decided to go ahead and purchase a pair and put them to the test. Of course I took advantage of her discount code too! Zella High Waisted Leggings I paid full price for my pair of Zella leggings but they do…

After I read a couple blog posts about signature styles, I decided to think about what constitute my personal or signature style. I asked myself a couple of questions: what items do I add no matter my outfit? Which pieces of clothing do I reach for? Which things to I feel tempted to buy? What do I like most in my outfits? Here are my conclusions: Statement Earrings It is rare that you will see be out and about without a pair of statement earrings and most often than not, it will be a pair of Nickel and Suede earrings. It used to be that I would only wear studs…

I always find it interesting how you see a piece of clothing on a model, and you either like it or not, then you see in on a “real person” and you like it better and then you try it for yourself and you either do like it or not. It is definitely a hit and miss especially when you are shipping online and cannot try clothes till after you have paid for them. While I have not been successful much with finding dresses online that fit me well (I have had some good laughs with some things from Amazon), I was pretty successful with my skirts from SheIn (3…

Well, we are nearing the end of the month. March sure ended differently than it started. With at least another month of online learning ahead, I am hoping for temperate weather as it goes very quickly from spring to summer here in the South. My outfits haven’t really changed much in the past few weeks as my lifestyle hasn’t changed much. Of course, there is no weekly playdate and no fun trip to Target but mostly, I was a homebody taking care of my 2 year old and my blog while the oldest were in school. I have been wanting some graphic tees so you will see more of those…

One of my first posts last year was about investment pieces, items that I was willing to spend more money on, knowing the versatility and the longivity of the piece. A couple of years ago, I bought a pair of Zella joggers that I continue to wear frequently in the spring and summer especially when traveling. When I saw Erin from Living in Yellow shared the Zella Getaway Cargo pants, I knew they were my next new pair of joggers. They seem to be made of the same material as my old joggers and the description is 88% recycled polyester, 12% spandex with 90% recycled polyester, 10% spandex ribbing. As…
