  • User Post: When Mans Best Friend is Female

    You may remember Ben..my non jean wearing bestie from a previous post. Well Ben is back on the dating scene (single ladies please note: he's a catch) and apparently left both his jeans (yes, we are back at the intersection of khakis and pleated khakis) and me as his "friend" Tara in his previous rel

  • Why the Sarong Should be Your New BFF...

    Lets chat about swimwear, shall we. Seeing that I sell swimwear I hear the constant dreads of "ugh, bathing suit season" "I will look good in NOTHING" "I hate my belly, arms, legs, knees, elbows, fingernails, and anything else that is or is not exposed during summer months." I understand the stress

  • User Post: When Did Yoga Pants Become the New Jean?

    As I walked through the mall recently I realized one thing...anyone selling yoga pants is making a killing these days. Window displays filled with chic blazers, tailored skirts, ankle boots and textured tights lined the mall, while yoga pant clad gals walked on by. Hmmm...now I know some of these gi

  • Do You Have a Style Statement that is All Your Own??

    As they say.."New Year, New You"..for me it is more like...new Monday, new Tuesday, new everyday of the week, new me, I just love switching up my look. I am constantly exclaiming to my husband "I think I want a new look!". I then go into a long speech about how i need to redefine myself, come up wit

  • I've Jumped on the Jegging Train...Have You?

    When the old jeggeroos came out a year or so ago, I thought they were the most ridiculous invention ever, in fact I used to make fun of them...fast forward to fall 2010 and I am head over heels for them.The jegging has evolved quite a bit since its initial debut. Today they literally look like norma

  • EasyTone Clothing?...Oh Reebok, What Will You Think of Next??

    Yesterday afternoon I happily exclaimed to my husband that I would like a pair of Reebok EasyTone pants! He kind of just looked at me, said I was weird and walked away, but maybe this time I was just being weird. Do I really need to wear resistance band clothing in my daily life to feel like I am wo

  • What is Your Take on Fake?

    I read an article yesterday about the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and whether or not they had any "work" done, i.e. what about them is real or fake. The reason this article sticks in my head is not because of the amount of work they have had but more so how candid they were about it. Not one of

  • User post: What Are the Fashion Rules at 35,000 feet?

    Or aren't there any. I spent the past two weekends in two completely different airports only to find one thing in common...people seem to forget all sense of style once they hit the departures gate. Now, I don't want to say everyone, because there were some people like myself who were dressed stylis

  • What is Your Winter Hair Wear Routine?

    Okay folks, I know it is not quite winter yet, but these cold mornings have already brought me back to my winter hair routine. As you can see from the pictures, my hair is quite long and thick so when it is wet it takes a good 45 minutes to blow dry completely. 45 minutes that I just don't have to s

  • Do You Raid Your Husband's Closet??

    Or boyfriends, or brother, or fathers? I noticed my perusing was becoming noticeable when I exclaimed the other day "Great! I have nothing to wear as usual!". I then went on to say how I actually did have something to wear, i wanted to wear my plaid flannel apple picking purchase with boots and legg

  • Update Your Winter Wardrobe for Under $10!

    As the crisp Autumn air rolls in and the leaves begin to change, it is easy to find yourself looking to update last Fall's wardrobe. There is just something about that new sweater, coat and boots that jump starts us into the Winter ahead. Trust me, the only reason I feel motivated for the winter mon

  • How Far in Advance do You Start Picking Out Outfits??

    I am currently thinking two months in advance...let me explain.

  • User post: Wrinkles at 26....Oh My!

    I'm a wrinkled mess...No, it is not my shirt or pants that are a wrinkled mess...it is my forehead. Yes, you read that right...my forehead. For most people a Friday morning brings much joy as it starts a fun filled weekend, however, for me it marks a day of mourning. I woke up this morning with a br

  • Caps for Sale! Caps for Sale...50 cents a Cap!

    Although 50 cents a cap would be quite wonderful, I don't see that happening anytime soon. In elementary school Caps for Sale by Esphyr Slobodkina was one of my absolute favorite books along with the Berenstain clan of course. Anyhow, I had the pleasure of taking a jaunt down memory lane this past S

  • I Just Got a $34 Boob Job..And it Wasn't a Scam

    I didn't even have to go under the knife or be wrapped in loads of ace bandages after it was done. Nope, I walked right out of there with the same comfort and ease I walked in with, just a mere twenty minutes prior. No, I am not talking about some "magical" lotion, I am talking about a brand new ove

  • Mr. or Mrs. Consignment Shop Inventor...I Salute You

    I mean really...whoever decided to open the first consignment shop was pure genius. The consignment shop has literally given gals on a budget the ability to shop designer on a whim. Of course I am on a consignment shop kick because I had another fabulous find this past weekend. The key to finding co
