Signature Style

Not only does this woman have style, but she has a beautiful voice!  I don't know what Francoise Hardy singing about, but it's captivating.  Check out her collaboration with Damon Alburn, singer from Blur and Gorillaz.

where in the world can I get that awesome umbrella?

Summer hues

There is nothing better than keeping cool on a hot summer day, so I thought I could hope for cooler days with cooler colors.  Dressing in the same color family is cool now, didn'tcha know?

Historically Mine

Using a nifty web browsing tool, I "stumbled upon" these awesome images by Claire Hummel.  She has taken our favorite Disney princesses and altered their clothing to look historically accurate. My favorite is the 16th century German garb that Snow White is sporting...

So very berry lovely

Here are a few things that would add a punch of color to a fabulous outfit. 

Plus a couple of images that have caught my eye.

Berry Lovely

This summer I couldn't resist every maxi skirt I could get my hands on.  So elegant and effortless, this berry red skirt paired perfectly with a striped silk top and chunky belt.

Milestones

Today marked a special birthday milestone that I celebrated by skydiving.  This is something I have always wanted to do, and here it is!
