Outfits Not Just Clothes

shirt / shorts -Jcrew Factory, loafers-DSW(similar here ), bag-Forever 21(similar here ), necklace- Jewel Mint Last of the vacation outfits and we are back in real life for sures now.  On our second to last day in Canada we took a water taxi to Quadra Island for some lunch and exploring. It was great being in the sun and watching the water planes take off.  Whenever I think of outdoor activity(besides happy hour on the deck) I gravitate toward preppy plaids.  Plus, I had packed this shirt for the trip and had yet to wear it, and with the colors in the plaid the shorts were a no-brainer. AND TOMORROW!!!! I'll be at the Carnegie Library's Oakland Branch presenting "Rev Up Your Personal Style" event details here !  AND if you attend you'll be eligible for a discounted closet visit session with me!  

        This bracelet is just fabulous!   Gosh, I look so severe here. I'm not mad, I promise.         top- LeTote , shorts/bracelet-Jcrew(similar here and here ), loafers-DSW(similar and kind of expensive here ), bag-Nine West(similar here )     I'm back in the Burgh, but the party keeps on rolling.  Since returning we've been hanging out/catching up with friends almost non-stop.  This outfit saw quite a bit of action this weekend. It went to brunch, ran some errands, and had a few beers in the beer garden over at Hofbrauhaus. This top is such an easy piece to wear, just slip it on and go.  The vibrant color of these shorts makes them really pop, always a great element in an outfit.   Don't forget my workshop/lecture "Rev Up Your Personal Style" is this Saturday, August 3rd 3-5 in the Quiet Reading Room at the  Carnegie Library's main branch in Oakland.  I...

Saturday, August 3rd I'll be giving a lecture on personal style and figure-flattering fashion! This event is free and open to the public. So, if you are in the Pittsburgh area and free from 3-5 Saturday August 3rd then get on down to the Oakland (main) branch of the Carnegie Library !  Official event and contact details here .  I'll be presenting in the Quiet Reading Room on the first floor.  Be ready to learn some tricks and tips for revving up your style AND dressing for your body shape. Additional talking points will be fueled by audience questions and concerns.  Check it out on facebook  here . NOW, the big concern for me (besides actually putting together the presentation) is WHAT AM I GOING TO WEAR?!?!?!  I honestly, have no clue, and while I'm currently on vacation I really can't bring myself to think about it. But some things I'm keeping in mind: 1) This event is on  August 3rd, so it'll probably be hot and humid. 2) I HAVE to ...

This week I am a guest on Act Classy's podcast Lunch Break hosted by Brad Stephenson and Joe Lyons to promote my upcoming lecture at the Carnegie Library!  Yes, that's correct I am giving a styling seminar on August 3rd in the Quiet Reading Room of the Main Branch in Oakland from 3-5. This event is free and open to the public, and there's no need to register.  Check it out on the events page here .  And check out my amazing interview here !  Since I'm such a well-mannered lady I brought lunch as a thank you: Ceviche Burritos! Of course Brad doesn't like shrimp so he had a turkey sandwich.   And since I was on the podcast to promote my Fashion Lecture next month I had to critique their outfits:   Actually, they were just wearing clothes and it was NOT pretty.   I let Brad in on a blogger secret, Sunglasses!   These shoes are horrible   Joe enjoys posing. At least he's w...
