Earlier this year I had a white lace moment.   I fell for a lace dress and it pretty much sealed the deal.  I was now a lace convert.  Before that I felt like it was old and dated — but this year’s lace is ladylike and…

This dress really combined two of my favorite summer trends. First of all, chambray will always be A-OK in my book (yep that rhymed) and secondly, I’ve developed an addiction to off the shoulder anything.  Combine the two and you have the perfect summer dress.  So much…

Fringe is back and in a big way for fall.  Or did it really ever go away?  How can you not like fringe! Fringe can be mod, boho, or western.  It’s fun, flirty, and gives your outfit that extra something.  I tried on a friend’s fringe…

Staying at Round Hill was an unforgettable experience.  I loved the quiet elegance of the hotel along with its friendly staff.  It’s a destination I highly recommend! Here are some of the highlights you need to experience when you go… Start off one of your…
