As usual it's taken me a while to rotate my summer wardrobe out for a proper fall/winter wardrobe but with the temperatures fluctuating between warm & cold every other day I find myself wearing a combination of both summer & fall clothing. I don't know what to expect most days but I find it's better to have extra pieces I can remove as opposed to not enough layers and freezing. So, layers are our best friend. 

This Zip Back Double Layer Dress from Avon was so much fun! Featuring a fall '17 trend of a sheer chiffon overlay a seemingly simple dress became so much more. With every turn, every flutter of the

Happy Monday!

It's been a while since I posted an ootd but I finally got to pull out this mark. by Avon Soft Touch Trench that I purchased earlier in the year when the weather was still to cold for me to wear it. I first fell in love with it months ago when a fellow teammate wore it and I loved the way it looked on her. It was so flowy and elegant and as always ​looked so much better in person than in the brochure. Of course 

Last month after months of successfully saving & working on a tight budget to wipe out my debt I finally got to break my no clothes shopping rule. I needed to replace a blazer I had ruined but you know how us ladies are. I ended up buying not one but 2 blazers plus a few dresses. BUT on the bright side

It's shopping list time! Here are some of my favorites items for a selection of gift ideas for that geeky girl in your life.

Ahhhh November is here! That means I can officially talk about Christmas shopping without the Scrooges getting upset. I actually start my holiday shopping over the summer but what girl can resist a sale? It's shopping time! I will still be shopping right through to post New Year sales so stay tuned because I'll be sharing plenty of holiday gift guides, top pics, home decor favorites, and sale

Last weekend was New York City Comic Con! For the first time I decided that I wanted to get dressed up, started looking for a costume... and then I punked out. Cosplay has never really been my thing but when you're in the crowd and surrounded by all the cosplayers and having fun, you get tempted.  My 

Here I am on my second day of NYCC. I also had to go to work that day so I was definitely not wearing anything over the top. I just paired a Mark blouse with a pair of jeans and to change it up a little bit I added a corset, a pocket watch I was given for my birthday and a hat. Then to my surprise I 

The other day I was browsing through the Nordstrom collection, adding a few items to my Coveted List, and I came across the French Connection Lace Panel Fit and Flare Dress (above left). 

At first I look I thought "Hey! I know that dress"! It took me a minute to remember where I had seen

OOTD: Nerd swag meets work wear. 

Today I'm featuring two new wardrobe changes my recently colored hair & my new Tory Burch Kerrington Square Tote bag.  This past August, after years of debating whether or not to change my 

Nobody really needs a pair of blue suede shoes but thanks to Elvis Presley there's a part of us that wants them.

The other day I tried on these mark. By Any Stretch Pumps and loved them! I saw them in the brochure

In my last post  Upcoming Series Three Habits for Accomplishing More I mentioned that this week I would share three upgrades I made at the start in 2016. The first habit I implemented was to set a goal to surround myself with positivity and distance myself from negativity.

I realized that I was internalizing problems that often had nothing to do with me and allowing other 

​It's that time of year again! Time for the Avon annual sale. They have some really great products that will bring you right through summer into fall and a bunch of them are on sale! But, the sale is actually not what this post is really about.
