Fringe Sequin Dress: Did Someone Say Holiday Attire?!

‘Tis the season to wear sparkles. Hellllooo Thanksgiving week! SOMEHOW Thanksgiving is this Thursday and before you know it it’ll be time to break out the festive fashion. I love dressing for holiday parties because it’s sort of like dressing for New York Fashion Week. There is no such thing as “too fancy” and the wilder the outfit the more questions are asked. The more questions I answer, the more people I can tell about my blog! See how that works?! Let’s begin with the first of many holiday-ready looks: a fringe sequin dress.     Fringe Sequin Dress There are some trends I can do without. Dad sneakers…I’m not even gonna go there because I’ll probably offend someone. Sequins, on the other hand, I cannot live without! I am the happiest version of myself when I like my outfit. When my outfit involves sequins there’s a 99.9% chance of happiness. Sounds silly, but it’s the truth! This fringe sequin dress is ME in dress form. It’s playful, bold, and oh so girly! The long sleeves make it ideal for holiday parties and the fit is surprisingly flattering. Sometimes shift dresses hang shapeless. If you had to describe yourself in […]

Vici Meet and Greet Recap

Last week I had the pleasure of shopping with some of you during a “Meet and Greet” at VICI in Walnut Creek, CA. If you follow this blog, then you probably already know that VICI is the premiere destination for contemporary women’s fashion. Their thoughtfully curated collection of styles is suitable for glamorous gals of any age, anywhere! The VICI online store receives shipment daily and you can get real-time product updates on Instagram.     My experience in the store was wonderful. I cannot say enough about Lauren and her dream team at the Walnut Creek boutique location. Just know you are in good hands when you choose VICI to dress you for your next fashionable occasion! There were SO many noteworthy items haute off the rack, but you have to see it to believe it. Luckily @teslanatv was there to capture some footage. See a short video clip below, or click here. You don’t want to miss it! Spoiler Alert: GG takes the show!   About the Look As far as a personal favorite, I am still swooning over this not so average pair of overalls!

Burgundy Jumpsuit for the Busy Season

Happy November! Can you believe I am saying this? October was a whirlwind of a month, but now that it is behind us, it is time to start thinking about the HOLIDAYS. I confess: I will be living in this color through the New Year. More specifically, this burgundy jumpsuit!     I think we can all appreciate a versatile item that is well-made and under $50. This pretty little thing is one of them and can go dressy or casual for the party busy season. Maybe you are meeting your girl gang for Happy Hour then continuing on to a work party. Simply swap a jean jacket for a faux fur capelet, a cross-body bag for a glamorous purse and VOILA! You’re ready for whatever life throws at you.     Somehow I missed the memo that this burgundy jumpsuit was “petite” when I ordered it. What a pleasant surprise when I tried it on only to discover that the pant legs were not miles long. It’s like it was made just for me…oh right, it was! Reason 999 I love shopping at Asos. They are size-inclusive and offer tall, curvy, petite, and maternity styles. Click here to peruse […]
