Spring is right around the corner!!

Okay that is a total lie BUT Spring Break is right around the corner, giving us all the perfect excuse to don a great dress. And this season the bolder, the better. All my favorite budget sites have a plethora of bright, bold dresses that are total beauts.

And the best about these banging buys? The bold color choice leaves the rest of the outfit simple. Feel free to pair with some gold bangles or a simple pair of earrings; just let the dress do the talkin’. That means no muss, no fuss, and no stressing out over which accessories to squeeze into that already over-stuffed suitcase. (Figuring out the clothes is hard enough.) Just throw a few of these in, toss in a pair of wedges and a pair of flats (right next to that bottle of Absolut), and you are ready for Acapulco or wherever your Spring Break destination may be. And – bonus round! – you can wear these well into spring and summer.

If only God would answer my prayers and let Spring come now! All I want is a sun dress, an iced coffee and a huge pair of sunglasses. But hey, he did answer my call with Pajama Jeans, so maybe I can hold out for a 60 degree March in the Midwest? Read More »

Someone has heard my prayers.

Maybe it was God, Maybe it was Marc Jacobs, I don’t really know and to be honest, I don’t really care but someone, somewhere has heard my begging and pleading and has done something about it.

A change that makes me so happy, I am twirling around like a 5 year old in my maternity style dress.

Magazines, newspapers, and TV shows alike have been abuzz with “What’s In and Whats Out” for your 2008 wardrobe. And thankfully (or perhaps FINALLY is a better word) I can throw my “Someone’s having a baby dress!” in the trash (and yes someone DID say that to me, to which I proceeded to jump off the nearest bridge)

While I have heard the phrase “return of femininity” the past three years (Fashionistas claimed the baby-doll dress was in fact feminine. I claim that it is a way to make me look like a fat-ass who is ready to pop one out). But this time, the trends for spring/summer are in fact, showing off that we are women.

Belted waists, bodice hugging dresses, flattering pants and a whole lot of bold colors and prints are what you will be seeing this year. Gone are the trapeze dresses. Leggings? So two years ago. Menswear for women, drab colors, skinny jeans tucked into booties, boxy pieces with no shape and oversized cardigans, that we all HAD to have, will be sent away like Lilo being sent to rehab.
