FASHION AND STYLE INSPIRATIONS, STYLE DIY,

One of the best dresses I ever bought I almost returned. It’s by Splendid from Shopbop and I thought it might be a little ho-hum. But boy has this dress pulled it’s weight in cost per wear! Navy being a universal color that flatters most everyone helps. The cut is very roomy without adding weight […]

On our way to the Plaza to catch the tail end of the Rosenthal event with my good friend Nikki we ran into the super dandy Patrick McDonald (who by the way if you don’t know who he is…you’re living under a rock-go check him out). What a great omen to see him coming from […]
