It's here!! Family Matters is out now.
Double OUCH!!! My not so positive review of Earth Aspire shoes Even though I love heels, there is a need in my line of work for flats. I actually love flats. They were my shoe of choice for the longest time, and they are my default shoes for my non-work days. However, not all…
Like every Fall in the past, suede is in. I saw lots of suede dresses, pants, handbags etc on the Fall 2009 runways. Mix it up a bit and go beyond your basic black suede and instead opt for rich colors like aubergine, burgundy, browns, and deep purples. Gray will still be a hot color…
Purple became the hot color of the season last Fall. This year though, it’s going to be even more popular. I’m seeing a lot of the other shoe trends for Fall 2009 incorporate purple into their design. Since purple is my absolute favorite color and my birthstone (February!), I couldn’t be happier. Think of it……
The strappy leather upper features an adjustable strap with a buckle closure for a snug fit; contrast stitching and antique-brass-tone stud accents add finishing touches. A chunky heel provides feminine height and maintains stability, while a textured rubber sole lends secure grip. These are the perfect Spring and Summer sandal. They are easily dressed up…
I never would of thought I would be posting about knit pants and fashion in the same sentence, but look at me go! Apparently knit pants are making a comeback in a big way. Take a look at any Fall 2009 collection on your favorite website and you’ll probably find Ponte Knit pants or Knit…
It started off as an act of desperation. I was three weeks into my new job as an event coordinator at a multi venue complex more than three times larger than my previous venue, and I realized that the heels that I had been wearing to work just weren’t cutting it. I had blisters and…

Labor Day is right around the corner, which means I only have a little time left to try Summer’s most controversial trend. I’m talking about one of 2009’s most love-it-or-hate-it fashions: the romper. Recently, I was lunching with friends, and when the subject turned to rompers, everyone almost gagged. One very stylish friend called it a…
Add a dose of instant style to any outfit by adding a gorgeous brooch. There are so many beautiful pins and brooches out there to choose from. Choose a bold statement-making brooch (a la Carrie from Sex and the City), or choose a smaller, more classic vintage brooch. I found a lovely selection of vintage…

She has always had a penchant for dressing in daring, flattering fashions, while exuding the utmost confidence. With a long history…
I’m a stay at home mom, but that doesn’t mean I don’t get stressed out. Some people think stay at home moms have it easy, but that’s probably because they haven’t watched kids for more than an hour in their life! Some days, I have all I can do to stay sane and keep my…
Ladies, there is no reason to sacrifice comfort for fashion ever again. Comfortable shoes used to mean ugly, orthopedic-looking shoes that your grandmother would happily wear. Thankfully, that is no longer the case. Top shoes brands that are known for their comfort like Aerosoles, Clarks and Naturalizers have recruited some fashion-forward designers to make sure…
