Sweater Dress Season

  Fashionistas Set the Stage Photo by  Alex Block  on  Unsplash *Shopping Affiliate Links Included Sweater dresses are in vogue for Fall 2023.  Did you happen to see Nicole Kidman in a gorgeous pink, Self-Portrait  knit dress at the US Open that was figure flattering?  Of course, it is now sold out.  The dress was an instant sensation paired with flats.   Or how about Meghan Markle, on a major comeback, sporting a figure hugging wool-blend grey halter-neck knitted dress by Toteme ?  Both wore these sweater concoctions with aplomb.  What about you? I have found a few that are eye catching.   Not only are these numbers chic and elegant but will keep you warm during the cold days ahead.  The pink sweater dress like the one Nicole Kidman recently wore can be combined with flats or white leather tennis shoes for our current September weather. The other two selections can be paired with boots or pumps.  Pretty in Pink Staud Shoko Sweater Dress  The Sophisticate Paige Carmen Belted Long Sleev

"Suits" Is the Rage!

  Strong Suiting Comeback Photo by  Lance Reis  on  Unsplash "I win because that is what I do."  Harvey Spector (Suits - Netflix) I am late to the party.  The " Suits"  party that is.  We just started watching "Suits" on Netflix.  " Suits" (2011-2019) which has   nine seasons is being rerun in 2023 on Netflix.  Everywhere I go daily I hear, "Are you watching Suit's?"   What an entertaining, well-crafted, and executed series plus incredible fashion. Cast members Rachel Zane, (Meghan Markle), Jessica Pearson, (Gina Torres), and Donna Paulson (Susan Rafferty) stand out sporting suit jackets, pencil skirts, high heels, blouses, subtle jewelry, and makeup. They walk with presence, grace, speak eloquently, are witty and intellectual about the law all the while exuding elegance.  Of course, Harvy Spector, (Gabriel Macht), Mike Ross, (Patrick J. Adams) and Louis Lit, (Rick Hoffman) hold their own in high-end suits with custom made shirts.

Thanks for shopping in advance!  Let's Chat Recently, at a local department store, I received a hair blowout using the Drybar Double Shot Dryer Brush .   A sales representative noticed me and asked if I wanted a hair blowout?  I was waiting for someone and thought why not!  To start with the stylist used several Drybar products on my hair, which by the way smells divine, plus a fabulous detangle brush that rivals my Mason Pearson hairbrushes.  They then proceeded with the blowout.  What I loved was that instead of using a hair dryer and then a styling tool, this number was an all-in-one hair wizard.  The results were runway stunning.  Additionally, if you are a vacationing fashionista or an active cannot sit still traveler, you will love packing only one hair tool.  You will be able to create curls, waves, or shiny straight hair. Please note semi-dry hair

Lady Gaga Do I hear makeup on sale?  Yes, I do.  One cannot forget to peruse the beauty department online or instore at the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale.  This is the ultimate opportunity to snap up items that you will use throughout the year.  Why not get these lovelies at a discounted price.   I do not get an affiliate compensation for giving a shout out to these beauty marvels.  My Top Selections Lush Lashes & Brows RevitaLash works.  Period.  To me false lashes or lash extensions look plastic and out of place.  Unfortunately, social media or the media in general portrays women as overstuffed birds, with either bird like or buffed masculine figures and are often seen half naked.  Everyone clucks over them, and women at large follow in suit.  Fake breasts, fake eyelashes, fake faces, fake enhanced bodies, and the question is why

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale - 2023

  Are You Ready? Wish List? Photo by  freestocks  on  Unsplash The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is in process for select card holders.  With the official sale open to the public on Monday, July 17th.  Lately, many of my friends and I, have been debating on what we really need.  Are we shopping for our "fantasy" life?  Will we wear these pieces or will they sit in our closets?   Many of us love fashion and enjoy buying the newest and greatest item only to never wear it.  I, for one, am thinking about what I wear throughout the year.  It seems so wasteful to purchase when you do not need it. Everyone always says "It isn't about what you need, it is about what you want."  This year I am content with my fashion world.   I must note that it is important to have classic staples such as a stunning blazer or two, elegant pants, statement blouses, the little black dress and quality pumps.  After all, if you are working, in the public eye or meeting friends for cocktails,

Photo by  MakeSumo  on  Unsplash "As a Barbie you can do anything". - Anonymous Are you ready to see bright pink, neon green or vivid yellow on the big screen?  Did you grow up with Barbie ?  Perhaps you are a fan or not?  I grew up with Barbie's.  The era was simpler then and imagination plus creativity was paramount.  Barbie allowed us to dream of being someone extraordinary.  Or perhaps you were a budding businesswoman and admired Jill E. Barad, CEO of Mattel , in the 1997 who expanded the Barbie line? She started at Mattel in 1981 and rose in the ranks. The results were astounding.   Mattel under her leadership grew from $200M to $2B.  She revitalized the Barbie brand and was one of four women CEOs in 1997 to lead a Fortune 1000 company, which was an admirable feat. She transformed Mattel to a premier glob
