vs convertible dress

With Valentine's Day coming up that also means Date Night dun dun dun.....What to wear!? Victoria's Secret new Ruched Convertible Dress changes with every occasion. I say Fabulous!! With 11 different colors to chose from and a multitude of style options, the $88 dollar price tag is money well spent. I've posted the 4 sample styles they show on their website. You be the judge!

Day 1

Today I visited http://fashionpulsedaily.com/

While some of the other fashion blogs I've visited are very couture, runway specific, this one is down to earth and a bit more realistic. Writer Julia DiNardo blogs on fashions even I can afford! Filled also with contests and a touch of humor, I have to give this blog of the day a thumbs up. I have subscribed to the newsletter and will be a returning admirer.

blog a day

There are so many blogs out there, I get so extremely overwhelmed and don't know where to start!! So, I've decided to take it one day at a time. One blog a day. With commentary.

tribal blue

Guess has always been one of my favorite stores and while I was perusing their website, I found some fabulous T strape heels. I’m in love with the zebra print/royal blue combo. Check them out!

thoughts for today

So, today is a new day and after recovering for the wedding weekend, I feel like a new woman! It’s amazing what exhaustion can do to a girl. Mandie and Grant’s wedding was a great success and fun was had by all! They are in the Bahamas right now, probably enjoying the beach. They deserve it! The photographer was even nice enough to take some pictures of Olivia, Matt and I while we were all dressed up. I’ll post them when I get them!! I really do enjoy attending weddings. They are always such a joyful occasion. Being at the wedding made me really appreciate Matt and all he does. It truly is all about the little day to day things. A little bit goes a long way. A touch of kindness or a helping hand with nothing expected in return. I read an article in ELLE talking about a study about how woman have become unhappier over the last couple of decades. One opinion was it began when people stopped helping each other and the focus became all about us. That made a lot of sense to me. The article also talked about how perhaps this recession is what we need to get our acts together and start caring about people again. I’m not sure if it will all play out that way, however, it did catch my attention. With the disaster in Haiti and so many people out of work, how can we not? The bible speaks about when you give your rewards are 10-fold in heaven. Yet, it’s so easy to come up with excuses not to help or give or even lend an understanding ear. I have a passion for clothes, accessories, make-up and hair, you get the idea….however, I make a vow to never let it corrupt me into someone who doesn’t care about others. I greatly dislike being judged by others. Let’s hear it for the golden rule!

the discovery of McQueen

As I begin to explore more of the fashion world, the names and references can be a bit overwhelming, as well as, intimidating. However, there has been one that seems to stand out above all others. The first time I viewed a collection by Alexander McQueen on style.com (my all-time favorite website) I was mouth-open in awe. I may be new to it all, but it was obvious this was no ordinary designer. His attention to detail and line were astounding. The color and patterns are so vibrant and alluring, I just couldn’t get enough. While Betsey Johnson, Versace and Valentino have held high regards in my limited knowledge base of designers, Alexander McQueen has now topped them all. Runway achieves here I come! What fun!!
