33 Years and 33 Birthday Wishes

I know you are not supposed to recite your wishes out-loud, but considering blowing out birthday candles is a thing of the past, “asking” the universe seems appropriate in 2021. May we all manifest a year full of good fortunes, and stylish outfits that make it out of our living rooms! I am feeling very hopeful.     33 Things I am Hopeful/Looking Forward to in 2021 Meeting Baby Bae. I am officially 52 days away from my due date and it’s hard to think about anything else! Will he look like a mini version of Jonathan?! What will his personality be like?! While we are on the topic of babies, I cannot wait to meet all the covid babies in my friends group! Never in a million years did I think we’d all be parents the next time we saw each other. A lot can happen in a year. I hope to celebrate my dad’s life in the most colorful way possible. When he passed away last spring we were at the peak of the pandemic. Funerals, memorials, or any “social” gathering with people outside of your home were strictly prohibited in Connecticut. He deserves a party. I cannot […]

Black Head to Toe with Pearly Accents

It is no secret that I LOVE color. In fact, it is a rare occasion when I dress in black head to toe. Hence the reason I am dedicating a blog post to this outfit…but sometimes it speaks to me, and that is exactly what happened as I perused the new arrivals page on the Akira website. So how does a lover of color and everything girly style an all black ensemble?! Allow me to explain!     Accessorize It’s all about the accessories. I’ve said it once, and I am saying it again, when in doubt wear pearls! These classic jewels will never go out of style, and will effortlessly feminize your look. Speaking of feminine accents, evening gloves…this vintage style of dress is SO regal. I cannot help but associate them with a lavish afternoon tea! This pair is perfect for the holiday season even if you just play dress up at home – no judgement. Finally, let’s talk about this fab pair of sunglasses: RHINESTONE FRINGE! Ok, I think I made my point. With the right accessories, an all black ensemble can be just as glam and girly as a pink one!     Combat Boots Combat […]

Unitard and Sneakers: The 2020 Mom Uniform

It is no secret that I do not have the most practical taste in clothes. I love over-sized bell sleeves, ruffles, and larger than life earrings to name a few. But with #BabyBae on the way I am trying to incorporate simpler items into rotation without sacrificing my style! Let’s begin with this unitard and Air Force 1 sneaker.     When I tried this outfit on for Jonathan he laughed out loud! He said I looked like a mom straight out of the 80s. Well I was born in the 80s…does that count?! But he didn’t think it was ridiculous – he thought it was cute and harped on the fact that fashion really is SO cyclical. Here we are in 2020 and shoulder pads, spandex, AND fanny packs belt bags are trending! He encouraged me to wear my hair in a side ponytail but THAT would be crossing the line. Haha. Anyway, I have a feeling a unitard and sneakers is going to be my “mom uniform.” It’s comfortable, flexible, and you can easily layer one up with outerwear.     This is my first pair of Air Force 1 sneakers. Y’all know I am better at walking […]
