What's your style? 
 
That's a question I've asked myself many times. But on a day in late September, it was all vintage. 
 The ladies from Fashion Redeem'd asked me to do a shoot for them and since I'm a huge lover of vintage, I happily said yes.
Here's a sneak peak of the shoot:

Pixie Mama!

Audrey-Hepburn-hair.jpg
There's been an onslaught of women cutting their hair to a pixie, (myself included if you haven't noticed). So I thought I'd go back to the first pixie I remember seeing. Audrey! And it was so good on her. 
Also thought it would be interesting to turn back time & review the pixies through the years. Enjoy!

This week in blogging has turned into a week of CMH Fashion Week. I'm not complaining. The show was my baby, and with the help of some fabulous people, my vision came to life. Thank you to all the designers, models, volunteers, the CMHFW board, this years title sponsor Worthington Jewelers, Charles Penzone Salons and the many others that made this show happen! xoxo to all!
I'm unplugging for a week of relaxation as I've been going hard for months! So until the 28th, enjoy

Tunic Tales.

download5-1.jpg
On the rare day I have free time, I enjoy browsing local thrift stores. The day I found this tunic was a good day! I've been a long time thrifter and people are genuinely surprised when they compliment something I'm wearing and tell them I found it thrifting. Gone are the days of grandma's stiff starched Poly & her sister Ester (my terms for polyester ;-). Now, if you know where to look, you can find some gems. 
Happy Hunting!

Marmi Bloggers Breakfast at Easton.

marmi2.jpg
This Saturday I attended the invite only Marmi Bloggers Breakfast at Easton Town Center. It was a fun event as I met several local bloggers that I'd met on social media but never in person. (Are you too finding that's quite common these days?) We chatted, we ate, had our morning coffee and of course checked out the finds in the store. If you haven't been, its definitely worth checking out as they have some great pieces there. 
Snaps from the event:

Reading In Style.

Zhanna+bianca+rachel-zoe-live-in-style-mg-600x900-1.jpg
I couldn't resist picking up Rachel Zoe's new book yesterday and I have to say, I'm thoroughly enjoying it. As opposed to a focus on the red carpet as in her first book, 'Style A to Zoe', 'Living in Style' covers Rachel's style go-to's, style tips and lifestyle, the living in style lifestyle.....I would expect nothing less from one of my favorite stylists (who also shares the same birthday as me.... and an equal love of Chanel). :-)

With all the style books out there now, I'm happy to say this

Unexpected Cowgirl.

cb-1.jpg
I Instagramed these boots the other day having no idea what I'd wear with them. They came to me by way of one of my 24Seven Couture consignors who simply didn't want them anymore. I just thought they were cool so when she offered them to me I said yes. They're by Ariat. Fatbaby (love that name) originals. I adore the embroidery and detail in the leather too! 
Who'd a thunk it? Me, in cowboy boots. Ha!

Monday Muse. Stevie Nicks.

stevie-nicks-30.jpg
I've been told (and I've said it many times myself), I should have been born in a different decade so I could have lived my adult life in the 70's. 
One of my fashion greats of that decade was Stevie Nicks. To be honest, her style today still inspires me. Her style transcends decades.
An icon who made her own style and didn't care what anyone thought of it then or now, Stevie your my girl!

It's An MP Thing.

Live local. Love local. 
2013 CMH Fashion Week designer, entrepreneur and friend , Damien Sheppard of Manufactured Products custom designed this ensemble for me. He had originally designed this for his male clientele only so it took a little convincing for him to design this for me.
The denim side zip pants are a new fave of mine. 
Comfort, style, velvet detail stripe, gold zip side ....LOVE! The reptile front print sweatshirt w/elbow patch, yes please!
