{Sparkle and Shine}

There are three items that I would like to find while roaming the streets of New York this weekend: 1. leather {faux-leather} pants, 2. shoes/boots, and 3. sequin top and/or clutch. All of these items shouldn't be hard to find - I will just have to decide how much I want to spend on them. Some people have asked me "where would you wear sequin other than at a Christmas party or New Year's Eve?" And my answer to that is EVERYWHERE - the grocery store, out for a day of shopping, out to dinner... For day time limit sequins to a top, like a tank or embellished cardigan or sweater. Off set the texture of sequins with jeans or a chambray shirt or cotton to balance out an outfit. Accessorize minimally to avoid an outfit looking too busy. Sequins at work, you say? Yes, you can totally wear sequins at the office - it’s all in how you wear them. Choose a smaller size sequin in a neutral color to minimize their flashy reflective appearance. Some come in a matte plastic instead of ultra shiny and iridescent that still provides texture to an outfit minus the flash.

Be bold - be different - and if people stare...let them - consider it as you're being noticed! Shine on!

{Comfort Food For The Soul}

In my quest to a healthy body and life, I'm learning to eat to live, rather than live to eat. It wasn't an easy task at first, but I'm slowly making the transition. But if I can contradict myself for a quick second and ask - what about the pictures below don't make you want to cozy up and indulge in a huge bowl of tomato soup with grilled cheese croutons? One of the reasons people following a weight loss plan 'cheat' is because they feel deprived of their favorite foods. So I say - eat that tomato soup, eat those grilled cheese croutons - just watch your portions and make sure that your splurges only happen every once in a while. I saw a quote on pinterest that said "do not reward yourself with food - you are not a dog" - right? lol!!!

{I got a runner in my pantyhose - I'm not wearing pantyhose}

You know I'm a movie buff - so what classic movie did the line {Honey, I got a runner in my pantyhose - I'm not wearing pantyhose} come from??? lol
-----------------
Now that the weather is chilly enough to wear tights - what better way to add another layer to your outfit than by dressing up your legs in rich colors, bold graphics, and delicate lace…
