Blue Suede Stilettos

Oh Coco, how you understand me so well! I can’t imagine a better quote to describe my feelings about fashion. This past week has proven that even when sudden & sad events occur in life, you can still remain positive and upbeat by the way you carry yourself, the way you act and the way you dress.

I decided to brighten up my day by wearing this vibrant, airy & cheerful number, just in time for the end of the summer season. I wore a variation of this outfit almost everyday this week – a flowy top and flouncy skirt – and felt infinitely cooler and more relaxed.

p.s. life can be very fragile so don’t forget to give your loved ones a squeeze and remind them how much you love them. 

The Little Black Dress

Chardonnay is like the little black dress. Classic and sophisticated. You never know when you'll need it and it's always good to have one lying around.

A few weeks ago I was rummaging through my closet in search of the few black items that I own {for a work related event}.  I finally stumbled upon this black number that could easily be dressed up with accessories and bright red lips. Like Chardonnay, the little black dress is right for any occasion. It dresses up casual evenings and makes formal events simply more fun!

In my opinion, there is nothing better than changing a weeknight of staying in into something fun, by enjoying a glass of wine and then slipping into your favorite cocktail dress to go watch a concert at your local venue. In this case, The Uptown Theater is my local hot spot. It’s classy, yet totally relaxed, and is the perfect place to unwind and enjoy some fabulous music. I can’t wait to check out more concerts there over the summer. Ole!
