Hey Glossies, I had eyed the J. Crew Cotton Crepe Safari Cat cardigan because it is A.) absolutely adorable and B.) lightweight. I received the garment measurements from Customer Service and felt very comfortable in purchasing the item. (There is nothing like have a gift card burning a hole in your wallet.) I just knew […] Read more…

What I Wore Wednesday – Preppy Plus
Hey Glossies, It is not easy to find plus-size blouses in the classic Americana style. I see a lot of crazy looking fabrics used to make plus-size tops as well as unflattering silhouettes. My soul cringes. And what is even more difficult, is to see blouses and tops that I love from brands that will […] Read more…
Top Tuesday – Polka Dot Chambray
Hey Glossies, I am obsessed with the polka dot chambray (or denim) shirts. I cannot get my hands on one because they either not available in my size or sold out altogether. I like the Anthropologie Pindot Chambray Shirt because it is a tunic. The dot size is great for those who are not true […] Read more…
What I Wore Wednesday – Diamonds Are Forever
Hey Glossies, Some may know that I was born in Jamaica, a member of the (British) Commonwealth of Nations. So I have always had a strong affinity for Great Britain, the culture and the Monarchy.

Friday Footwear – Zara Wide Strap Sandal
Hey Glossies, The Friday Footwear pick is the Zara Wide Strap Sandal. I am not a huge white shoe fan, so I love that the Zara Wide Strap Sandal include black and grey.

What I Wore Wednesday – Black and Brown
Hey Glossies, I love the idea of wearing black and brown together, especially if one of the items has a print. I also like wearing black with a light to mid-tone brown, which helps to provide a contrast with the black. The contrast will help to create an elegant classic look. Read more…
Hot Ticket Tuesday – Talbots Trellis Lace Dress
Hey Glossies, Summer 2011, Talbots found itself in a precarious position. The brand was trying to reach out to the younger demographic and it seemed that the (newer) young and long-term customers were not liking the offerings. Well, it seems this year (Spring/Summer 2012) that Talbots is working diligently on catering to both demographics while […] Read more…

Hey Glossies, After posting about Eloquii a few weeks back, I decided to purchase a few more items from the brand. One of the items that I purchased was the Chiffon Ruffle Front Shirt in Okra Green. The blouse fabric is stretch cotton and the ruffles are polyester. The blouse actually fit well in the […] Read more…
FRAAS Animal Print Scarf – Spring/Summer 2012 Collection
Hey Glossies, Back in the day, a scarf was the only way I could spruce up an outfit because jewelry (excluding brooches) was not an option. I love scarves and have collected many of the years and continue to add to my collection. The FRAAS Animal Print Scarf for the Spring/Summer 2012 Collection offers fun […] Read more…
What I Wore Wednesday – A Splash of Sunshine
Hey Glossies, My locale has experienced traditional spring weather in the last couple of weeks, so a cardigan continues to be in play. The weather has been a bit dreary, so I wanted to add a splash of sunshine to the outfit i.e. the Ann Taylor Circular Contour Print Shell in Chartreuse and the Zara […] Read more…
