IMG_6799IMG_6795Hello LadiesWelcome to another #Turningheadstuesday!   I hope everyone had a nice weekendI know it is March and we are getting antsy for Spring. I , however, just found this vintage  tweed jacket and didn't want to wait until next year to share it. So, I promise a spring look for next week. Today I am sharing a few tips on wearing Vintage without looking like you went back in a time machine. I do tell my husband from time to time that I would love to travel back to a different era. Not stay there forever, but just experience the time, clothes, people.music . If you are watching the Stephen King book turned tv show 11/22/16 the character has traveled back in time to try and prevent a historical event from happening, having to know the era, the clothes, cars, and events pertaining to that day.

IMG_6678Hello Ladies!I think my brother was "feeling the heat" when I called him out on the blog last week.  He knows he can reply anytime :-) . Today I decided to put together and share with you how much details can make an outfit. You all know I love lace, leather, ruffles, ( faux-fur, tweed  and vintage inspired looks. I love texture and the fall/winter season certainly lends itself to incorporating texture into one's outfit. I wanted to put together a neutral look, but add rich tones like this rust ruffled lace  top by Zara to add spice to this fashion recipe. I first wore this as a sleeveless top at NYFW, I will wear it again as a vest, putting a button down top underneath. I saw this cashmere leopard cardigan as part of the Mad Men collection for Banana Republic and loved the style straightaway!

Hello ladies and Matt!( I had to write this as my brother Matt mentioned he would like to comment on my blog, but that I always begin with "Hello Ladies") so I have included my awesome brother in today's introduction. :-)It is close to that time of year, the time of year that Hallmark and other card companies pull out all of the stops with cards large enough to serve as the place mat  one would need if going out for a Valentine's Day dinner. I suppose a small card or gesture doesn't cut it anymore? Well, I love the...

IMG_0043IMG_0042Hello Ladies!10 more days  until Christmas! I am like a kid when it comes to Christmas Day, minus the usual getting up at 5 am to see what Santa brought me. No! Since Gibby and Truffles do not know any better, they do not pat me with their paws in the morning,  saying "Mommy, Mommy, SantaPaws came! TIme to wake up!" I put them in their Santa Suits and we make our way downstairs. We make it a leisurely morning, brew the coffee, have the smell of pastries or bagels in the air, and take our time. We do not make it arduous and open one gift, tenderly picking at the paper as if to save it, but we don't exactly tear in to the gifts not knowing what each other was given!! The pups do have their own stockings which resemble a puppies face and they are ready when I put the stockings on the floor to stick their whole head in to find the puppy treats. I do love giving gifts! I need to master the art of wrapping a bit more, but the bar was set high by my mother in law! I have always been excited for Christmas and giving gifts. I love decorating the tree, and over the weekend we went a bit wild, and Michaels going in for two items like gift bags and tape, only to leave with a cartful of garland, ribbon for the tree, ornaments and more.

 Hello Ladies, I hope you enjoyed the weekend!I always feel like December rushes through the month, while other months drag on. I think it is all the preparation and anticipation that comes with the Holidays. All of the memories and traditions we may try and recreate with our families this time of year. Last night, we attended a party on a boat, enjoying the lights from the houses that were waterfront. Good food and drink were offered as was the Captain's attempt at humour. He did try so hard! He did have a captive audience though.  This was one event...

Hello Ladies, I hope you all had a nice weekend!This month is going fast, as it usually does with anticipation of the Christmas Holiday. I always start thinking about the traditions we used to celebrate this time of year. One of my favorite was going  Downtown ( Dahntahn  if you are from Pittsburgh) to see the magical Christmas window displays at Kaufmann's Department Storethat were so enchanting to me as a kid! I miss them though now. I loved seeing the scenes of the holidays in each window in which we would stare for what seemed like hours. Hot cocoa and...

 Hello Ladies,I thought I would share some of my favorite looks for November, and also some gift ideas for him. Just some ideas to get you started..I am the type that likes to shop-online. No hustle and bustle for me, just the quiet of me and the pups lounging on the couch or a coffeeshop with a tasty gingerbread latte by my laptop.. If you are following along with my blog, you will notice I have collaborated with Jord for their wooden watches, and Obaku Denmark for their sleek dressy, timepieces. I am almost done with shopping as I am...
