Style Guide: Halloween Spooktacular

Full disclosure: I’ve had the idea for a Halloween Spooktacular fashion round-up saved as a blog post draft since right after Halloween last year!! Maybe that means I’m just a wee bit excited about it? All those ghouls and goblins (and the fact that it’s National Candy Corn Day) must be working their mystical magic and putting me in the Halloween spirit.

Remember that time I donned a pumpkin costume?? Well, I don’t think I’d ever go that far again, but I most certainly wouldn’t be averse to adding some festive flare to my look. So, in the spirit of all things spooky, I give you 8 fashion faves to up your Halloween game this year…

Which is your favorite piece, friends? Will you be dressing up this year? Or just enjoying the candy? Because, you know, the latter is perfectly acceptable too!! xoxo

Style Guide: Solar Eclipse Celestial Celebration

For real, I’m legit terrified of the solar eclipse!! Like, this is no joke — I was actually tossing and turning last night, struggling for sleep as I pictured the scene in the sky today as the moon obscured the effervescent, radiant sun. All this talk of damage to my retinas has got me completely shook, as the young people say!

I’ll be at the library and will be walking across campus during it. But, as you can see from the photo, I’m fashionably prepared for said eclipse with my snazzy pink hat…gotta be protected!!! My plan is to look down and put my wheelchair on high speed. Maybe even *suuuuper* high speed.

So, if you’re like me, I propose we focus on the fun: Fun fashion, that is! Don’t think you can link fashion to the solar eclipse 2017…? Think again and get in the spirit with these celestial celebration finds. Trust me, you’ll be over the moon for them (pun intended)…

Did you see the solar eclipse today, friends? Hopefully, you were a lot less scared than I was! At least I’ve got until 2024 to prepare myself for the next one… xoxo

Style Guide: Pale Pink

I’ve developed a Saturday morning ritual over the last couple months. As soon as the new issue of Us Weekly arrives, I immediately flip right to the style pages. Why? Because not only do I love seeing what the oh-so-fashionable celebrities of the day are wearing, but I also *love* seeing all the latest trends right before my very eyes. And this past weekend was most definitely no exception. What exactly did I learn, you wonder? That my pretty-color-loving self is 100% on board with the pale pink spring trend. I’m literally here for everything it has to offer!

The Wall Street Journal even heralded pink the IT color for spring, saying, “It can be suffocatingly girlie. Aggressively silly. But spring’s tougher takes on the color of the moment might just overcome your objections.”

Indeed, I love how the look has evolved from being strictly feminine — now, there’s a chic, tougher edge to it. Pretty badass, if you ask me!

So what’s the verdict, friends? What’s your take on all things pink? Would you go for this spring trend or avoid it? What’s your fave look/style/color for these warmer, sunnier months? Let’s chat, shall we? xoxo

P.S. Or, how about a fancy floral Garden Party afternoon?

Style Guide: Garden Party

You know what they say, don’t you? April showers bring May flowers! And this year, that statement has never been more true. In some parts of the country, the old thermometer reached high temps over the weekend, but in the Midwest, the weather remained cold, wet and rainy. For two solid days. But on the bright side, we now have lots of green and everything is blooming beautifully, which got me thinking: What’s better than a laid-back garden party? Answer: The fashion that goes with said gathering, of course! So pull up a lawn chair and enjoy these picks brimming with garden party style…

Are you in the mood for a garden party, friends? Which party pick is your favorite? With the weather getting so nice, all I want to do is sit outside in the sunshine…what about you?? xoxo
