Not into bows but looking for soft blouses for Spring?  These work in the office as well as out on the town.

long sleeved gowns

Move over strapless.  Apparently, all the cool girls now wear long sleeves.

Have you noticed that long sleeved gowns are making a comeback?  I fell in love with this long sleeved wedding dress.....but never found it.  

Some highlights of long sleeved beauties.  What do you think?  Elegant & refined?  Will long sleeves make an appearance on the Red Carpet this weekend at the Oscars?


white boho dress

Planning a summer vacation?  Headed to a music festival?  Is your city warm in July unlike San Francisco?  You may need a white boho dress!  

As you can see from photos below, looks just as cute with boots & a hat as it does barefoot or with gladiator sandals.  Would also be adorable to wear during your wedding weekend if you are an upcoming bride.  Dreaming of summer!

ski wear: wonder under

Lululemon Wonder Under pants.  I originally purchased these for skiing.  I would wear as long underwear under my ski pants or lounging around the cabin.  They have now migrated their way into my city life as well.  They are comfortable enough to wear around the house, and attractive enough to walk down the street to get coffee.

An excuse to buy shoes!  

Whether you're going out to dinner with your man or heading out on the town with your girlfriends to celebrate being single.....Valentine's Day is an excuse to buy magenta, red, or burgundy shoes.

Rain rain go away.......unless I get to wear my fancy rain boots!  My polka dot rain boots cheer me up while keeping my feet dry as I walk through puddles in SF.

If you live anywhere that is experiencing El Niño, go buy some happy rain boots!

January is a great time to buy cashmere!  Aqua is an affordable brand from Bloomingdales.  Sweaters that are normally $200 are now $75.  Stock up!  I love the soft material in soft colors.

Golden Globes Fashion.  The first four are my top choices!  Other contenders below.  Who was your favorite?

Pouches: the way to organize your purse.  Corral your earphones, charger, lipstick, and pen.  Double duty-these can also be used as a clutch bag for the evening.

under my umbrella...ella..ella

Umbrellas: listed under Glamour's "30 Things Every Woman Should Have.....by the Time She's 30."  Specifically, "a purse, a suitcase, and an umbrella you're not ashamed to be seen carrying."  Any of these cheerful choices would qualify and would make a great gift!
