Minty Fresh

I love mint! I am obsessed with trader joes dark chocolate mint creams. I could eat the entire box in one sitting. Just like the taste this mint color is mildly cool and refreshing.   

Red Carpet Fashion!

2012 Golden Globes Fashion

I love watching the Golden Globes every year for many reasons! Not only because I love seeing what films and TV shows are being honored and recognized, but more importantly I love seeing the beautiful gowns that the women are sporting! This year there were several people who rocked the blush color! I love neutrals so naturally those who wore the blush color stuck out to me. However, I had two favorite dresses for the night. As the face of Christian Dior, Charlize Theron of course wore a beautiful Dior gown. I loved the high slit and the blush color against her skin tone. And as if the dress isn’t beautiful enough, her Cartier accessories were a perfect pop that dress.

Angelina Jolie showed the red carpet the true meaning of red in her silk Atelier Versace champagne colored gown with red collar accent. It was sleek and modern, yet had a classy vintage appeal to it. This dress looked phenomenal on her figure and her red clutch and red lips were a bold complement to the red collar on her dress!

tangerine tango: 2012's color of the year!!

I am obsessed with tangerine right now! I love this color because not only is it bright and fun, but it is so versitile! I personally think it works during any season! The combination of red and orange allow it to be a color that is a warm enough tone for winter and fall and bright enough for spring and summer! Pantone's website voted the tangerine tango as 2012's color of the year...“Sophisticated but at the same time dramatic and seductive, Tangerine Tango is an orange with a lot of depth to it,” said Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute®. “Reminiscent of the radiant shadings of a sunset, Tangerine Tango marries the vivaciousness and adrenaline rush of red with the friendliness and warmth of yellow, to form a high-visibility, magnetic hue that emanates heat and energy.”

Santa Please!!

#1 on My Christmas List!

As if loafers aren't great enough already, lets bedazzle them and add some glam to your step as you hit the town! I love loafers because they are slip ons and that makes getting ready one step easier. They also provide more support then a pair of flats which I love because I am a grandma and my feet get tired throughout the day! I just love this suede look with scattered studs!

Prepster (noun): Hipster and preppy...living it up on the trails!

I love outfits that are classy enough where people are going to compliment a well-put together outfit, but casual enough where you are not overwhelming everyone you run into. I love this outfit because it meets both of these requirements to the T. Jeans naturally make an outfit more casual, while a blazer especially one of a bold color dresses up the look and adds excitement.
