Daily Outfit: C’mon Fall!

Seasonal milestone: last week was the first time I was able to wear a real pullover!  And then the next day I wore a sleeveless shirt.  So here’s my message to Florida: please tell Fall to stick around instead of coming and going constantly.  I like my cold weather, thank you.

This was also the first [...]

Daily Outfit: Dress, Fall v1.0

Over the summer and early fall, I challenged myself and wore this dress in six different ways.  Now that some actual fall weather has arrived, I am challenging myself again to create six new unique looks for fall and “winter” (as wintery as it may get here, which will be no colder than the 30’s [...]

Daily Outfit: Out on the Town

Last weekend my boyfriend and I went to this really nice place in downtown Tampa to visit with a friend from out of town.  I love a good excuse to get dressed up.  The location wasn’t too fancy, so I picked an outfit that would be chic but not uber dressy.

I didn’t realize until writing [...]

Daily Outfit: Un Petit Peu

Somedays, you just need a little bit of francais in your life.  This was one of those days.

If I only had black ballet flats, it would have been perfect.  The striped cardigan, the black slim capris, and the scarf tied casually around my purse all evoke a wonderful French feel that I absolutely love.

I also [...]

Giveaway: Size 36 Dansko Necci Sandals!!

This is a very belated giveaway.  Over a month ago, I received an e-mail from a reader asking if I would be interested in holding a giveaway for a pair of shoes that she bought, but that just weren’t working for her feet.  I agreed, and she mailed them promptly, and then they sat on [...]

Happy Halloween!

I love Halloween.  Something about the festive spirit appeals so much to me.  And it’s not Halloween without roasted pumpkin seeds, jack-o-lanterns and costumes.
Here’s how I made these delicious pumpkin seeds: Take seeds out of pumpkin, clean off all pulp and rinse in a colander.  Mix raw seeds with 4 tbsp butter, 1 tbsp Worcestershire [...]

Daily Outfit: New Dress Love

Like I said before, this dress is going to get an insane amount of remixing.  It looks great by itself, with tights, or with leggings here.  The fit is perfect, and it’s so comfy and soft.  And with it’s neutral color, there’s no end to how I can accessorize it.

For this outfit, I focused on [...]

Daily Outfit: Hello, Fall.

Last week, we had a nice cold spat, and the morning of this outfit, it was actually in the fifties!  I had to take advantage of the cold while I had it, and I’d been itching to try a new layering technique inspired by Lucky.

This was just the right amount of warmth for the morning. [...]

Daily Outfit: Fall?

We’re finally starting to have fall-ish weather in Florida, and it couldn’t have come soon enough.  The summer heat was starting to drive me crazy, and I’m so glad to have more layering opportunities now.  Albeit, the low on the coldest day was 52, but most of the time it’s been in the mid 60s [...]

Daily Outfit: Watermelon

Sometimes, certain color combinations can have very strong associations that go with them.  To me, this color combination of bright pink and green with touches of black and white just screams “watermelon”.  In a good way of course.

Sometimes I like to wear bright colors to perk me up.  This is actually what I wore last [...]
