“There was a perfect outfit for every minute of the day”

When ridiculously cold weather hits Florida, I go for lots and lots of layers.  Flexibility is key.  My house stays chilly at 64 degrees, outside it’s in the 40′s, and in my office the heater is keeping it in the 70s.  Having to be in so many temperatures throughout the day, I need an outfit [...]

“At least try to act cool”

This beautiful Boden sweater vest was one of the last items I purchased during my recent shopping ban.  And I adore it.  More and more I am falling in love with Boden and their beautiful, colorful clothes.  But they’re so expensive that they’re often out of my price range.  However, I’ve found that buying them [...]

“All I want is to play”

This outfit made me feel fun and playful all day.  That full Boden skirt is oh-so-fun to twirl in, and wearing the tunic layered underneath the skirt helped me to keep warm while not having a thousand crazy mismatched layers on (which was my original outfit).  Unfortunately, after spending a day in this outfit, I’ve [...]

Shopping Ban: Weeks 16 and 17

Well folks, it was bound to happen eventually.  With only a few weeks left of my six month shopping ban, I finally cheated.  Not just a little cheated, but $175 cheated.  Now what would I buy for $175?  These stunning beauties. Way back when I was first craving the goldenrod Fluevog Malibrans, these caught my [...]

What I’m lovin’: Boden Autumn 09 Collection

I’ve been a big fan of Boden for awhile, as you can probably tell from my previous reviews of their spring and summer lines.  I only own one item from them right now, which I actually thrifted, but now that I’m done with grad school and will (hopefully) have a full time job soon, I [...]

Daily Outfit: Vintage Glamour

It always amazes me when I can put together an outfit in less than half an hour.  Most days I spend way more time than I should trying on multiple combinations, changing my mind at least five times, and feeling very frustrated by my tiny closet.  Some days though, like yesterday, an outfit just magically [...]

Daily Outfit: Purple and Green

Welcome to the debut of Diana tucking in a shirt!  Seriously people, I don’t think I’ve tucked in a blouse since middle school.  But I’ve been seeing so many stylish women rock this lately, and with a somewhat high-waisted skirt, it’s actually kind of flattering on me.  I do have a bit of a belly, [...]

What I’m lovin’: Boden’s Summer 09 Collection

I posted a few months ago about Boden’s spring collection.  I still haven’t bought anything from them yet, but it’s more from a lack of funds ( and my struggle to learn how to control them) than a lack of desire.  I just got the summer catalogue today, and I am already smitten with the [...]
