So what can you do on the other days?While looking through a magazine we saw this picture of Rihanna and thought that it would be perfect for summer.     Read more >

shopping, 4th of July outfits, style

Years ago my nod to Fourth of July fashion was an Old Navy T-shirt with a sparkly American flag on it.  And pretty much every exhausted mom at the town parade had on the exact. same. one. This year however, I'm going to try harder. Ditch the flag t-shirt. There’s no need to be so literal with your patriotism – you can try a nautical themed tank, a scarf, a pair of red wedges. Here are some ideas that are cute and completely unfrumpy.  Read more >

In sunny California, sunglasses are a must! But it's also fun to use them as an accessory to punch up a boring outfit. I have been wearing my cat eye sunglasses for over a year now and am still in accessory-love with them! I've even added a rounder version in a light gray just to mix it up a bit. If you're unsure the look is right for you, I've found some really fantastic shapes at really fantastic prices that are really REALLY hard to pass up.  Read more >

eyeglasses, glasses, specs, trends, eyewear,

Way back in fourth grade (no, I'm not going to do the math for you, but you can safely assume it was back in the late '80s, early '90s days of fashion), I got my first pair of eyeglasses. Now, I didn't really need them, but I was a huge bookworm and constantly reading, often with the book just inches from my nose (you know, in true nerdy style), and, more importantly, I already had a real thing for accessories.  Read more >
