A few of my favorite things...


Are there certain products or pieces in your wardrobe that you feel, define your style?  I'm currently loving my Benefit "Simply Dandy" lip and cheek kit, my trusty J Brand Skinnies in Nirvana Blue, my new Isabella Fiore Bella tote...and these sweet and simple Gorjana earrings.

I struggled for a long time with the notion of "personal style" and in the past, have felt a bit lost.  I would struggle over purchases that were overly trendy or didn't fit me the way it looked on the beautiful model.  My girlfriends would tell me to dress outside my "comfort zone" to find what I was looking for. Two words. No bueno.

I realized that personal style works for some people and it looks natural and effortless for a reason.  It's because they're wearing what they like, what fits their body type...and pieces they're genuinely drawn to.  You've got to dress with what YOU know looks good on you (styles, cuts, colors), not what is currently trending or what everyone else is wearing. Snoozular.

These days, I only shop for pieces I truly can't live without - bags, products and styles I've learned over time, that suit me.  

...On the record; you'll never catch me wearing metallic anything, overly processed blonde locks, over-the-knee stiletto boots and god knows what shade of bronzer I use to dabble in - because well, they just ain't my style.
