My day gig as a medical sales consultant in the oncology field typically calls for traditional suit garb.  Thankfully, my clients know me well enough to know that a suit just ain't gonna cut it--and they've grown to appreciate my interpretation of business wear.  For you gals looking to infuse a little personality into your work day...take the printed pant for a ride.  I'm obsessed because they give us the ability to play with separates, textures, prints,  & colors, too!  Take a look at some lovely options below.  Also, in celebration of s + s' big bday this Thursday, stay tuned for some flash giveaways popping up throughout the week...Make it a good one!

Hello Sunshine

 



 

 



 







dress (Zara), shoes (Zara), clutch (JJ Winters), necklaces (BaubleBar, BaubleBar), watch (Cartier), ring (Lagos)

So I discovered something with this look...I REALLY love the look of yellow & lilac together!  I am already envisioning some yellow jeans with a lilac top maybe anchored with a navy or white blazer.  But let's talk about this Yellow Dress (disclaimer here, get yourself a tan prior to wearing unlike my dang pasty legs).  Here's what I love about it...it goes with a slew of colors--turquoise, purple, hot pink, red, black or even white. Big fan of  a frock that's fluid, comfy, & most importantly---versatile!  Alright, gang, enjoy the weekend & make it a good one!

PS:  Think I'm having some comment issues with Disqus--hope to have it resolved shortly!

For us Kentuckians, this is a wonderful time of year.  The horse races are in full swing at Keeneland which can only mean one thing....The Kentucky Derby is right around the corner.  Now look, many a spectator is in it for the races; however, I am a horse of a different color (so bad, right, but how could I resist that pun).  For me, the Derby is all about the fashion!  What with the glamourous hats & the lady like dresses--it is a fashion spectator's dream.  While I am loving the idea of a minimal stripe paired with a peplum (clearly, as I paired a very similar Look Last Year) , don't steer clear of vibrant hues or even florals.  My gal Danielle of Lou What Wear is basically giving it to us live from Churchill Downs---she is doing a series this whole month illustrating different frocks that suit the different areas of the track--I am so loving this! Also, the lovely ladies over at AJs Casuals can outfit your look from head to toe--gorgeous dresses, fascinators, & hats galore! Even if you're not visiting the Bluegrass State for the races this year, throw a little soiree in honor of the horses---what better excuse to get all dolled up Southern Style!  Make it a good one, gang!

Hometown Homage



 

 

 

 







tunic c/o (Pomegranate), jeans (7FAM), sandals (J.Crew, love THESE), belt (J.Crew), hat (HM,  J.Crew Panama Version), necklaces (Maya Brenner State & Erin McDermott), watch (Michael Kors), bracelets (J.Crew & Gap), shades (Ray Ban), bag (Louis Vuitton), ring (Anna Beck)

It's always this time of year that I start getting the itch to make a trip home.  Leave it to this Pomegranate Anchor Tunic to transport me back to the Sunshine State in the meantime.  Let me tell you my fellow Floridians, if you don't already own a tunic...you must.  She's versatile, lightweight, and stylish--all things one needs when living and/or traveling beachside.  And for us Lexingtonians that are prepping for summer & a tropical getaway, luckily Monkee's of Lexington exclusively carries Pomegranate.  Another must have for the warmer months, White Denim--specifically distressed white denim.  It adds a slight edge to the classic factor just enough for my liking. Alright gang, cheers to a smooth start to our week--make it a good one!
