Quick Dash


I ran some quick errands and managed to snap a picture of my outfit between going to the drugstore from the bank last week. It was our first week back to business casual, and this little dress from Mod Cloth was perfect. I love the ease of the fabric and the print for the price (believe it or not, it was $26!). I kept it very simple by pairing it with a long dark cardigan, tights and booties.

Outfit: Spicy Girl dress; Mixx booties; Target tights; H&M cardigan; Burberry sunglasses; Tiffany & Co necklace; Juicy Couture & Forever 21 rings

Head Over Heels


I absolutely love these “Make Your Mark” heels by Quipid Luxe from Mod Cloth (seen here and here). As with a lot of things I buy, I live in them for a few weeks, then they go right into my regular wardrobe rotation. I’m finding that they are incredibly versatile, so I’ve been wearing them with everything from jeans to trousers to skirts. I think they’re just ducky, don’t you?

Have a Little Heart

I don’t know about you, but I’ve got that lovin’ feeling. Since we all know it’s going to be pretty hectic to try to go out tonight, my husband and I will be spending today with our son at home. But later this week, we’ll be leaving the little one with my mom to go out on a belated Valentine’s Day date. In the meantime, I found a few romantic themed items on Mod Cloth that could inspire me to write a few lines of pretty prose to my handsome hubby. Happy Valentine’s Day!

(PS: Check out this fantastic Valentine dedication from Bella at The Citizen Rosebud to the “agelessness” of fashion.  Thanks Bella!)

Wanted: Retro Revival

I’m starting to really like this seventies/retro trend, and I think my latest finds on Mod Cloth reflect that vibe. I love the tie front blouses, pan collars, sheer sleeves and thick heels. Maybe it’s because I was born in 1970 and grew up wearing some of these things that I adore that decade so much. Whatever the case may be, I’m going to enjoy this fashion trip back in time.

(Please note: I just bought the “Make Your Mark” heels. I’m excited to see how they look on!)

(Update: I received the shoes in the mail after I wrote this post, and they are fantastic on. Pictorial to come!)

(Another update: I also got those Matiko heels, but from Urban Outfitters. LOVE THEM!)

Blue Velvet

My recent color obsession is navy blue. Since I bought that navy blue pea coat from Old Navy (seen here), I have been looking at everything ink and indigo. I can’t get enough of the almost-but-not-quite-black depth of the blue, which makes for such an incredibly subtle contrast when worn with black. I ventured so far as to buy blue boots (seen here).

My recent fabric obsessions are velvet and velour. I didn’t even realize it, but I bought four velvet or velour dresses. Velvet and velour can look incredibly cheap when done wrong. But when done right, there is a richness that can be brought out of any color, especially in jewel tones.

I went to Polyvore and made this little set, combining my current obsessions (including Polyvore itself). I own only the Juicy Couture and Mod Cloth dresses, everything else was used to create the set. Although, after seeing some of these other pieces that I picked to make this set, that may change!

Shoe Dazed

I’m sure it’s been apparent that I’ve been doing quite a bit of shopping lately. I also recently joined Polyvore, so I created a set of some of the things that I’ve purchased (aside from the previously mentioned Juicy Couture venture). I seem to have amassed several pairs of shoes, including two pairs from Jeffrey Campbell.

If you are not familiar with Polyvore, it’s a site where the user can create “sets” and “collections” that can be shared with other Polyvore users, through social media places like Facebook, or they can be embedded in a blog, like I did here. I’m nowhere near being website savvy, so it took me a little while to figure out how to embed the image here, but I finally did. I hope you enjoy my first venture on Polyvore!

(Please note that I actually purchased the Naughty Monkey boots on Zappos.com.)

Twilight Sprinkles


Having a tripod just gives me such freedom, not only for myself but for my husband. He has been so patient with me and all the pictures I want to take. I would still love to have him help me with location shots, but for these outfits that I wear on a daily basis, I’ll just turn to my tripod. I’m still working out camera positioning and poses, so bear with me as I get the hang of it.

I took these pictures just as it started to sprinkle. I wasn’t going to use my umbrella, but I almost had no choice with the wet weather we’ve been having lately. I am wearing my “Walk the Walk” boots again. I’m having so much fun wearing them and wanted to show how versatile they are. They really do work with any outfit, and any kind of weather.


Outfit: Cotton On dress; H&M velvet jacket (seen here); Target tights; “Walk the Walk” Boots (seen here); Old Navy scarf; Coach umbrella; Juicy Couture ring; Vintage cameo pin

So Newly Charming

I got the chance to use my new tripod and was inspired by yet another Duran Duran song with my outfit. I felt my jacket was quite androgynous with the pin-stripes, so I kept it simple with a white sweater and black skinny jeans. I had the hat on, but felt better holding it to give a hint of Duran Duran’s “The Chauffeur” without going overboard (the title of this post is a line from the song).

I’m also loving the “Walk the Walk” boots that I bought from Modcloth.com (sorry kids, they went on sale and suddenly sold out!). They are quite comfortable and flattering with everything from jeans to dresses. I have worn these boots everyday since I bought them.

I always get asked where I bought this distressed white sweater. It looks like it’s been sliced or run all over like stockings, and has loose threads on the sleeves and on either side of the sweater, giving it an almost spiderweb look. Believe it or not, I bought it at an “Everything $5.99” store. We went in the store, looking for little knickknacks. I walked over to the 99 cent rack and found this sweater. The best dollar I’ve ever spent!

Rebel Yell

When I put this outfit together, my Mod Cloth package had not arrived yet. My husband and I went out to a company holiday dinner and returned to find the package at my doorstep. I wore the clogs because I liked the height, but I wasn’t sure how much they kept in the “rocker” feel of this outfit. If I had my “Walk the Walk Boots”, I think it would have complimented this outfit just fine.

No matter what, I’m always going to love my rock t-shirts. I have so many from dozens of concerts that I’ve attended over the years. Back in the 80’s, I bought them large to cinch them a bit on the side or wear them long with leggings. Now I wear them more fitted and with everything. I wear them dressed up or down, and even to bed (my older shirts that are bit too big). My all time favorites are my first Duran Duran concert shirt from 1984 and a Depeche Mode one from 1985. They’ve worn over the years to that soft vintage feel. My more recent favorites are Joy Division, Recoil, a limited edition John Mayer Trunk shirt, Marc Broussard, and the Billy Idol one I’m wearing here. Music is a big part of my life, and I don’t mind incorporating it into what I wear.


Outfit: Forever 21 sweater; Billy Idol concert shirt (2008); Hudson bootcut Jeans; Hot Topic pyramid studded belt; Gifted Union Jack belt buckle from Bristol, England; Burberry scarf; Juicy Couture sunnies and ring; Jeffrey Campbell clogs
