I haven’t written an “I Like Her Style” post in awhile.  Lately, I haven’t been felt like there is anyone in the public eye whose style has been too inspiring lately.     However, this “I Like Her Style” has been long overdue since I’ve been an admirer of musician Janelle Monae and her style [...]

Choosing the right perfume can be difficult.  I find that for me, wearing perfume is like sharing a personal part of myself with others.  So much of what type of perfume I choose to wear mirrors aspects of my personality, so I can be quite picky when it comes to finding something I like.  For [...]

Last night, I had the pleasure of attending the Vert Couture fashion show, part of Chicago’s Fashion Focus week,  which showcased some wonderful sustainable fashion by Chicago designers.  I was initially drawn to the show, because I heard that Vaute Couture would be showing their designs, and I have been interested in seeing their clothing [...]

Finally, some preview images from the Rodarte for Target collaboration have shown up online.  After much anticipation (on my end, at least),  the line which launches in Target on December 20th looks to be a mixture of textures and prints.  I see sequins, lace, leopard print and bows.   Overall, I’m a little underwhelmed by the [...]

Hello everyone and yes, I can say that I am still alive.  I’ve been semi-active on Twitter lately, but I went MIA as far as writing on this blog goes.  I tried,I’d sit down to write, I really would, but I’d become easily distracted.  Things like the special edition Billy bookcases from IKEA would grab [...]

There are a lot of outside influences that can affect the way we dress.  I’d say one of the biggest things is music.  I love, no really, I love music and in many ways, music is always intertwined with my life.   Music and fashion for me, can easily go together as a confluence of style [...]

Okay, okay, I know they say that about Christmas, but for me, I always feel like Halloween is one of the most festive holidays of the year.  Dressing up, yummy treats and costume parties are what makes this holiday great for me.  I’ve been a Halloween enthusiast ever since I could remember.  Finding a suitable [...]

Not sure how many times I’ve typed this, but I’m sure you know by now that fall is my favorite season. There are always subtle hints that fall weather is creeping in and summer is slowly fading away. The cooler weather, being forced to turn on the heat at night or piling blankets on before [...]

Edited by Debutante Clothing I just turned 35. It’s a landmark year not just chronologically, but style wise. I am now approaching that next age bracket in the How to Dress for Your Age features in mags. You know the ones. Thank goodness for my blogger pals here at Independent Fashion Bloggers. You’ll find some [...]

Have you ever thought about what you would say to yourself when you were younger  if you were reflecting back at the age you are now?   There are times when I do stop myself and think, “If I only knew this when I was 18, 19, then I’d be a lot better off”.  Of course,one [...]
