Shop Your Closet: Touch of Pink | February 2, 2012

I know I’ve been on a black and pink kick lately, but I’m all about taking the staples you should always have in your closet and changing them up with a little something new for Spring.  Here I paired my black Tory Burch Eddie flats, a black and white striped sweater and black skinny jeans with a skinny pink belt. The belt was less than $15 and what a change it made to this outfit! I once heard Tory Burch say that the Eddie was her “go to” shoe when she had to do a lot of running around New … Read More »

Chic Street Style: The School Run Fashionista | February 1, 2012

According to a recent poll conducted by Debenhams, six in ten moms feel pressure to dress to impress whilst doing the school run. More than 1/3 wear  heels when they are walking/driving their little ones to school. On average,  they spend one hour and 15 minutes getting ready to drop the kids off. Why is the school run now a fashion event?

I have a three-year old, and  have just started doing the school run, I take my little one to nursery three times a  week. I started off going in jeans and flat shoes – it’s quite a walk and … Read More »

Trendy Tuesday: Work Chic | January 31, 2012

Tuesday always calls for being a trendy Wendy after starting off your week. Wide leg trousers will always do the trick in the office and why not crimson? If your co-workers do get a peak of your heels, wear your Louboutin Leather Pumps then, pair with a button down blouse, throw on your Kate Spade bangles, and carry all that is necessary in your Balenciaga bag. You’ll definitely be turning heads at the office and have a wonderful work week.

Chic Street Style: The Soul Mate Myth | January 25, 2012

The unseasonably warm weather this January certainly has enticed me to venture outside more and soak up the sunshine.

I’ve been dealing with the issue of dating and believe me – at my age – it isn’t easy.  I admit that I’m an extremely busy woman and my business often takes precedence over my personal life.  It just seems that most men over 50 are looking for a woman half my age or someone to help them juggle their own hectic lives.  I often think about throwing in the towel and just becoming comfortable at home on Friday night flipping channels. … Read More »

Tailored Tuesday: Feminine Red, Gold, and Black | January 24, 2012

Tuesdays are always when the week hasn’t quite started to look up but yet it just isn’t half as bad as the day before was. I love this outfit because it’s nice enough for work yet feminine enough to keep your spirits up!

The pants are gorgeous and the tailored cuffs make them wearable with almost any kind of shoe. I love this top because it’s the perfect combination of warm to cool to keep you feeling comfortable on those in-between icky days! Accentuate this outfit with ultra-feminine black and gold accessories and some glittered ballerina flats and you’ve got yourself the … Read More »

Shop Your Closet: Houndstooth | January 19, 2012

MUST HAVE staples in your closet are black tights, black booties, black opaque tights and a black cardigan.  Electric pink is all the rage this Spring.  It’s easy to give some punch to your black staples with a pop of electric pink!  I’m pretty sure it will brighten your mood too. I paired these with a black houndstooth skirt I had in my closet from LOFT.

Any solid black tights will work.  Mine happen to be Betsey Johnson tights.

My black booties are Clarks.

I’m still in search of the perfect pink tank.  I found a few I am considering:

Chic in the Cold | January 18, 2012

There is nothing more essential than a cute hat during the cold months!  Forget the proverbial “hat hair” or even the “bad hair day”.  These are both easily solved with a CHIC hat!  Now for some silly hat comments:

“Here’s your hat. What’s your hurry?”

“Wear a hat because all the heat in your body escapes through your head.”

“I take my hat off to you!”

“She changes her mind at the drop of a hat.”

I’m a multi-takers to I’m always “wearing many hats”.

Do you know any other hat sayings?
