The other day I was chatting with my friend and we were discussing menswear. While she can totally pull it off, I find it looks costumey on me and that I can’t carry it off with my curvy frame. And as soon as I said that, I thought of Bianca. Bianca isn’t built like Katherine…
Like fashion, I believe in quality instead of quantity for my social life. My evenings and weekends are primarily dedicated to my family, and only a few choice blog events. Last night I attended a fabulous and quality event; Hive on the Hill from The Shoe Hive. While The Shoe Hive has the most adorable…
Tonight is the opening night party for The Shoe Hive‘s pop-up shop “Hive on the Hill” at Tabula Rasa on Barracks Row. The event starts at 7pm and there will be drinks, noshes, and tons of gorgeous shoes and accessories. I am going straight from work to the event so this is what I am…

Dear Allie, I was wondering if you could help me, my best friend is really fashionable and I have no clue what to get her as a present. I was thinking you may be able to help me and suggest some gifts that fashionable women would like thank you. I must admit it’s hard to…
