When people ask me to describe my personal style, I find it difficult. Angie from YouLookFab once defined it as Modern Classic, and I feel this look is a good example of modern classic style. Not only that, the black watch blazer is from Talbots, which has the tagline Modern Classic Style. A perfect match, no? blazer | t-shirt | jeans | boots | bag | earrings Blazer: Black Watch…
Likely most of you have done your shopping this long weekend, but if not there are some amazing deals this Cyber Monday. I did a list of the best sales for Black Friday and many of those promotions are still taking place. So instead of a repeat, here are items I own and love that are part of a Cyber Monday promotion. Talbots: 50% Off First Item, 40% Off The…
When Karl and I got married, our wedding color was orange (with hot pink accents). We had a signature cocktail at the wedding reception, an Orange Crush. Considering I'm wearing an orange cocktail dress in today's blog post I felt Orange Crush was a fitting title. Orange is my favorite color, and I think it's such a fun color to wear.

To make it more festive I swapped out the traditional brooch for one shaped like a snowflake. sweater | pants | bag | brooch | earrings | shoes Sweater: Audrey Cashmere…
While I don't like the taste of a pumpkin spice latte, I do love the color. Not quite orange, not quite brown, the color becomes a neutral like olive green that looks great with other neutrals but spices up jewel tones and makes surprisingly beautiful color combinations. Paired with berry, plum, teal, navy, mustard, red, or purple, pumpkin spice adds an unexpected elegance and glow. Looking for pieces that will…

Corduroy is back in a big way, and as usual, cabi is ahead of the curve with fashion trends, offering their cord Journey Jacket this season. I'm a bit shell-shocked from my elementary school years practically starting a fire as I walked to class in my cord jeans but I'm liking the idea of corduroy for blazer, dresses, and jackets. And this jacket is one that I bypassed online but…
