You see, IF I was going to wear slippers, I was going to wear socks, and IF I was going to wear socks I was going to pretend like I was ice-skating on our slick floors and totally give Kristy Yamaguchi a run for her money in Olympic Gold.

As a volunteer in the fight against cancer, since like so many families, our family had been affected by cancer, I went on a full-court press to do the show and luckily, they said yes!

What better way to celebrate cooler weather than to shop clogs. Yesterday’s clog-filled show was a blast! The two highlights included a pair of Birki’s quilt print clogs with a back strap (yes, I bought a pair of these for myself) and Papillio’s leather floral embossed metallic clogs.

This year was one of the warmest Memorial Day weekends I can remember. Some years we are still wrapped up in sweatshirts when we head to the beach for the unofficial start of summer. So since it was so warm we decided to stop for some ice cream. The line was out the door and we were shuffling along hot and bored, until I looked down and the woman behind me had on the cutest shoes! Of course I had to tell her I loved them, and that started a conversation about how we love shoes, love to look nice, and feel good dressing up. The line seemed to speed up just be...

So you ladies might know by now that I've fallen in love with a new concept this season. The high-low hem! I must confess when I first heard and saw the idea of a dress being shorter in the front and longer in the back I thought it wouldn't be a trend for me. I was so wrong! Here's where trying things on matters so much. I judged a book by its cover and thought, "nah, not for me," but when I tried on a high-low hem I couldn't have been more wrong. It's the perfect example that sometimes clothes look different on the rack than they do on the body. So this season, I want you to at...

Maxi
When I don't feel like putting any effort into getting dressed, I throw on a maxi dress. It's a quick way to look put together and it cuts down your getting-ready time. If it's a print, try a great pair of earrings. If it's a solid, wear a big, chunky necklace and call it a day!
Crochet
I've been incredibly drawn to wearing crochet in two ways—footwear and bottoms (skirts and shorts). Shoes that are fully crocheted or have crochet detail add such a sweet, feminine touch to any outfit. There's something so high-end Parisian about crocheted shorts or skirts. Talk about feeling tr...

Everybody's feet are different, and one of the great things about these clogs and sandals is that over time, they mold to your individual foot. Having that support underneath your arches also supports the stress you put on your knees, back, and hips as well.

It was one day last winter when the forecast was calling for a significant amount of snow. My husband was going to be out of town, so I asked him to show me how to use the snow blower, hoping of course that I wouldn't have to use it! Unfortunately for me, the weatherman was right. I woke up to five inches of snow and it still was coming down. It was windy, it was cold, and the last thing I wanted to do was go outside. I got dressed, layering all the clothes that I could to keep warm, but then suddenly realized that I didn't have a boot to handle what I was seeing through my window. I... Continue Reading
