Leopard Eats Turkey

Cheers to a happy and healthy holiday season for you and yours!

No Need for Shoulder Pads

I'm a sucker for blazers (obviously), so finding a unique, vintage one is my ultimate score. I just ensure that I remove the shoulder pads since I don't need any help in the big shoulders category.

Fill in the Dots

My best friend's daughter, Ffion, and I were coloring in her Hello Kitty coloring book the other day and I found myself having a hard time choosing colors for the clouds, Hello Kitty's bow, and the flowers. Literally, I was getting ajada from a lack of color scheme! When did I lose creativity and imagination? It must have been when I discovered the "never have to think about it" blouse. This blouse, with all colors already included, creates your scheme and all you have to do is match up the shades! Thankyouverymuch.

Going Global

The Lucky Community started a contest entitled "Show Us Your Lucky" where the members (all fabulous fashion bloggers) interpret looks from this month's Lucky magazine. The story "Wear a Little...Wear a Lot" featured global and lace as two of the trends to try. For the global look, I piled on patterns and textures with brown as the uniting tone. Tomorrow, I'll rock head to toe lace, so come on back!

Happy Holidays

The combination of emerald and leopard felt too festive to pass up this time of year. I wish all of you the happiest of holidays with your family & friends! Thank you for viewing my daily outfit posts and fashionable ramblings...it's my passion and I'm so pleased to have you join me from time to time.

Doble Ve

Despite four years of Spanish in high school and two trips to Espana, I am inept with the language and often can't remember if a word is Spanglish or really Spanish. Sure, there are words that I can pick out of a conversation, like "jugar," "amor"," and, "cerveza," but ask me to conjugate a verb or count beyond nueve and I'm lost. However, when I thought my necklace resembled a "W," I immediately started singing the alphabet - u, ve, doble ve, equis!

Furry, But Friendly

Despite the fact that I despise anything that sheds, I cannot get enough of anything faux fur. I'd imagine that this is how my mother felt upon welcoming home a yellow lab after years of Maltese pups. You love 'em so much that you don't mind cleaning up the hair. Therefore, I'll just put a lint roller in my purse and call it a day.
