One of the trends that has caught my attention recently is the “sporty look.” It consists of wearing sporty shoes (sneakers mainly) with a non-sporty outfit. The images from Chanel show that sneakers are being worn with girly pastel outfits. I do not remember when was the last time I wore sneakers with a dress […]

Since weather conditions in Massachusetts are bad, I have decided to write about some trends regarding bags. It has been “snowing cats and dogs” lately and it is not very pleasant to be out. I believe two feet of snow have fallen within the last week and a half. I decided initially to write about […]
Continue readingMatching Sets and Crop Tops
Something that I have seen almost on every shopping website is a matching set. This seems to be going against another main trend, print / pattern mixing. Matching sets usually involve a crop top and a skirt. Here are my favourite picks. This time I have selected both expensive and affordable choices, most of them […]

Today is a little bit warmer here in the Boston area. It is 0 degrees Celsius, and it is definitely better than few days ago. However, I guess everybody here wants spring and summer temperatures as soon as possible (even though that is not possible for the next two months at least). Of course, there […]

This is my first post concerning everything regarding beach clothing and accessories. Right now in the Boston area, the temperature is getting very cold and we are expecting a snowstorm tomorrow evening. I am starting to miss the last two weeks in which the temperature was around 10 Celsius (it felt higher than that though). […]

Recently everything with a heart print or texture has been catching my eye.

However, heart prints are basically on a variety of clothing items and accessories. If I have to […]

Happy New Year! I apologize for being late in providing updates. Basically, one of my boys brought home a terrible illness just before the Christmas vacation. I felt very weak and tired for two days, and my whole body was aching (and I do not usually get that sick). As a result, I got delayed […]

Since Christmas and New Year’s Eve are in less than two weeks, I have decided to write about what to wear for these two main events. This post is going to focus on dresses and jumpsuits. Last year, lace, brocade and sheer panels were the main trends for the Holiday Season, and they are still […]

I am already planning what do this weekend. One of the things I am planning to do is to read George R.R. Martin’s The Princess and the Queen. I miss the days in which I did not have anybody asking me for cookies, apples, grapes and juices all the time. Back then I had time […]
Continue readingGraphic Tees and Sweatshirts
Graphic tees are one of those clothing items that some women do not like to wear. They are considered too “casual” and it is not something that most women can use after a certain age. I love graphic tees, and I confess I am very lucky still to wear them with jeans and maxi skirts. […]
