6 Tips to Make Your Hiking Outfit a Fashion Statement

Hey girl! If you're going to visit the Pacific Northwest, be sure to buy a quality pair of hiking boots. And definitely a rain jacket. Being the self-proclaimed queen of style and the girly-girl that I am, it took me awhile to come to terms with wearing something as casual and sporty as hiking shoes and attire. (The most sporty look I've ever worn are my golf outfits when hitting the course. But even those typically include a pretty cute mini skirt or golf dress to embrace my feminine nature!) If you're relating to this at all, stick with me. I've mastered th[...]

Learn to Love Your Kitten Heels: AKA “Everyday High Heels”

Hey, girl! First off, let me lead by saying that I know kitten heels typically get a bad rap. But hear me out - the ones I’m going to talk about are not the same kitten heels you’ve probably heard your nana rant about still being in style. Or maybe that’s just mine…who by the way is a total fashionista – love you Nana! I have come to love kitten heels, and they have honestly saved my life (and my feet). Don’t get me wrong, I have the super high heels too, but kitten heels, which are 2-inches or less, are my go-to everyday[...]

Over-the-Knee Boots: A Winter Must-Have

Hey, girl! I’ve raved about over-the-knee boots before, and that’s because they’re one of my winter go-to items for classic style. These boots are quite versatile – I wear them with miniskirts, jeans or tight pants, even with long sweaters worn as dresses! I have a variety of over-the-knee boots, but my favorites are my elegant black ones with the gold zipper running up the outer side and a small chunky heel from ShoeDazzle. The heel size makes them ideal for wearing all day without my feet hurting, which is why I wear them more often than say my grey knee-highs with the 5-inch stiletto that req[...]

Faux Leather Leggings: An Absolute Blessing

Hey, girl! Want to know how I make the fall and winter seasons my absolute glamour months? With well-fitted faux leather leggings, of course! You might be wondering why “faux leather”? Well, have you ever actually tried to put on real leather pants? I’ll save you the trouble and say, don’t even think about it because it simply won’t happen without some serious elbow grease. On another note, I won’t sit here and pretend to be a super environmentally conscious activist, but I’m a sane human being who will occasionally jump through a few hoops[...]

New Year, New Closet: How to Clean Your Closet

Hey, girl! It’s time for a serious makeover – for your closet. There is no better way to cleanse your mental AND physical space than by giving your closet the much-needed detox it’s been craving…and one you’ve probably been neglecting, no matter what time of year it is. If you’re a self-proclaimed fashion guru like myself, you probably have way more clothes than you do closet space. Some of us simply don’t live in luxury suites with our own boudoirs the size of other people’s apartments like the Montevega twins do…at least not yet we do[...]
