elegant spring

With the polar votex in full swing, yet again, I am beyond ready for some spring 

weather — or maybe just temperatures above freezing — so spring style, here I come!

I am finding this grape color popping up all sorts of places and love the mix of 

rhinestones and pewters. It is a great "pop" color and is a perfect hue for 

transitioning into spring. 

A black maxi skirt is a must in everyones closet and this Equipment leopard tee is 

a perfect combination. Dress it up with these fun heels or dress it down with

 these pewter booties. Not to mention the beautiful handmade handbag by 

Glenda Gies — an ultimate accessory for the springtime splurge!

Extra Special Holiday Frock

While, of course, the holidays are a time to splurge — maybe your budget 

is running thin while you play Santa among your friends. But remember you can 

always look fabulous without spending the extra $$ (cha-ching!).

Piperlime is one of my favorite places to find steals, deals and splurges of

all sorts. I am really loving this new '20s trend of fringe and the art-deco look.

Lace seems to repeatedly stay in style and I love how this Ted Baker dress

strays from the normal lace. 

Lace, fringe and metallic can each go a long way — but keep it minimal.

Don't pair a lace dress with lace heels — do pair a lace dress with a solid

color (colors of the season: emerald and oxblood/wine) heel. 

A little bit of a trend can always be overdone and can go a long way with 

just one piece. And you can never go wrong with a pair of nude pumps

if you just can't figure out what to pair with your trendy number.
