Clogs are one of my favorite styles of shoes. Maybe it's the crazy shoe love coming out in spades, or perhaps it's the Swedish heritage. Whatever it is, I've had tons of pairs of clogs over my lifetime, and generally have somewhere between 4 and 10 pairs in my shoe wardrobe at any one time. I don't know - it may be an issue. I will say this - if loving clogs is wrong, I don't ...
14 Designer High End Mules that We’re Lusting After for Spring
I'm a huge fan of mules and clogs. I don’t know why, but it’s like if a shoe has a back, I have to think about it. One of the hottest shoe trends for Spring 2017 is the resurgence of the Mule shoe, and these high end mules are the cream of the crop. I’m sure part of my love of mules and clogs has a lot to do with the ease of wear. The ability to kick off my shoes at a moment’s notice is so ...
10 Awesome Booties that Transition from Winter to Spring
Here in the Midwest, our weather is totally screwy. One day it's in the 80's, and two days later it's snowing. What's that about? Rather than having to keep changing back and forth from winter boots to spring boots, I'm busting out the ones that are great transition pieces. That means the Uggs and Bearpaws are going back into the closet, and the shooties and booties are busting out. The good ...
How to Pick the Perfect Watch for Him
Why are guys so difficult to shop for? Mow, not all guys are this way. Of course, some give you quite the detailed and exact list of what they want, right down to part numbers and the store to go get the item. Others, though. Others....are more difficult. If you’ve ever been stuck figuring out what kind of present to get for your boyfriend or husband, you know what I'm talking ...
Cynthia Rowley + Staples Collab
I love to bring beauty and fashion into my everyday life. Not just clothes and makeup, but other pretty things, too. Tchotchkes like little boxes and decorative containers are a major part of my life. I’m also a sucker for office supplies. Show me a pen in a pretty color and I’ll show you a very weak woman. With all that being said, one of the places that I lack in any real design effort is my ...
Refresh Your Vanity with an Easy Vanity Tray DIY Makeover
I’m always looking for some kind of something to organize my cra….errr…treasures. Yeah, treasures. For a while it was trinket boxes, and then it was storage bins. While those are both great solutions, I needed something different. Something to sort of wrangle the bottles of perfume and larger items that I use regularly. I was looking at these vintage silver trays one day, and it hit me. A vanity ...
Romantic Date Night Outfit #StyleHop
This is a recreation of a recent romantic date night outfit. We went to dinner and an improve show. I didn’t want something too dressy, and was aiming for something sort of stepped up from casual chic. I don’t know about you, but I always feel feminine in ruffles. I’ve kind of always had a thing for them, and I guess I still do. The top shows a little bit of skin, but isn’t too revealing. While it ...
Venturing into Dresses with Monroe and Main + Giveaway #MMBloggerSpotlight
This is a Fashionista Event Opportunity. . Recently, I’ve been getting rid of the old, so I can bring in the new. I realized that during the Great Closet Cleanout (more on that later) that I only owned one single dress and one single skirt. How could this be? There was a very long period of time where I never wore a dress. For a while, if I looked at a dress, I was like “uh, no.” It ...
