What can I say? I’m totally mad for plaid. And it’s fantastic how plaid continues to be trendy this spring. I paired my plaid dress with a blazer, making me office-ready. But in the evening I can easily remove the jacket and shake things up at happy hour.  I got the dress at Shopgoodwill.com for [...]

Now that I’m coveting all the great shirt dresses out there, I just had to pull out this white one from my closet. I have the brown version, too. I got this particular one at H&M a couple of years ago. They currently carry a similar one, also sheer, but with a cleaner design and [...]

The wonderful people at Cirque du Soleil treated local Las Vegas bloggers, which included my husband and me, to a special night at “Zumanity.” Even though I live in glamorous Sin City, I’m not a show kind of girl. Until “Zumanity,” I had never seen a Cirque show. And now, I can’t wait to see [...]

This skirt is a recent purchase. I got it while at First Friday, which is a community arts event here in Las Vegas that occurs, well, every first Friday of the month. Located just outside the gates of First Friday is The Gypsy Den, an eclectic vintage store with great finds and featuring art, jewelry [...]

I love to wear a pop of color with black and white. Blue, yellow, green, orange or red. Any color goes with black and white. But, just a pop will do. It can be on your shoes, bag or belt. Or you can do what I did which is to wear my pop of color [...]

I can’t believe it’s still cold here in Las Vegas. Okay, it’s not cold-cold, but cold enough that I need to wear a sweater. This one by Elan is actually a convertible drape. I can wear it loose, tie it in the front or drape a corner over my shoulder. So versatile.  I love having [...]

The story behind this outfit is that I was going for that whole neutral look that’s so hot right now and for spring. And, I wanted to show that you can go neutral without looking like you’re going on a safari or looking drab. Texture and layers add dimension and the right shoes can add [...]

Our current economic climate (which I won’t call a recession, because there’s still debate about that) has really influenced today’s fashion. For instance, Prairie Chic is totally hot right now. When I spotted this tiny floral print wrap dress at Buffalo Exchange, I knew I would invoke the spirit of Laura Ingalls Wilder. I’m so [...]

I wore some cute outfits this week, but nothing that felt like it was worthy of the Outfit of the Week title. So come Friday, you can imagine how much pressure I put on myself to put together an Outfit of the Week. I mean, it was my last chance. As such, I had to [...]

Shiny blazer. Shiny dress. Shiny shoes. I’m ready to shine in 2009.   Dress: Zara     Blazer: Zion     Socks: Ozone. Courtesy of The Sock Boutique.     Shoes: Payless

This is what I like to call my “The Devil Wears Prada” outfit. Inspired by one of Andy’s many fab outfits in the movie, I love the city slick style of this look. The hat doesn’t have a label, but I do remember picking it up in New York City. Image owned by 20th Century [...]

My Outfit of the Week is also my holiday dress. It’s shiny, metallic and I love the pleated details on the front. Picked it up at Shecky’s for only $59. But the pièce de résistance is the Tiffany necklace my hubby got me as my holiday gift. I love that little blue box, and now [...]

This Diane von Furstenberg dress has appeared in Outfit of the Week before. But, that was during the summer when I wore it alone with a pair of flats. Now that it’s cold, I simply layered a sweater over it, added tights and ankle boots and this pretty printed dress takes me from summer to [...]

I could be on the honor roll in this outfit. I’m totally studious! Top: H&M Pants: La Redoute Shoes: Payless

The weather in Las Vegas has finally cooled down enough to wear some knee high riding boots. These Paul Green boots are comfy and casual. I got the belt in the men’s section at Savers. It’s very old and very distressed. Love it. White Tank: Gap Dress: Old Navy Tunic: WeSC Boots: Paul Green

I swear I bought this tunic at a thrift store for all of $5. Maybe even less. But paired with the right pants and layered strands of pearls, my thrift store find becomes fashionably chic. Top:Thrift store find (Sorry, no label.) Pants:Style & Co. Shoes:Enzo Angiolini

These patent oxfords are my latest and greatest deal. Originally $350, but I got them at Gilt.com for only $93 (Gilt price: $118, minus my $25 Gilt credit). I’ve been fantasizing about a pair of lace-up oxfords for awhile, waiting for a great deal on something luxurious. I held out, and my wish came true! [...]
