Valentine's Day Gift Guide

Sometimes it can be so hard to find the perftect gift for that special man in your life.  I came across a great gift guide on Perry Ellis that finds gifts based on your love's personality.  Here are a few of my favorites:

Sweet Sophisticate



Charming Creative




Rugged Romantic



Ladies, does your guy fall into any of these categories? For the men, do any of these best describe you?

Look Great While Losing Weight

I know most of us have set New Year’s Resolutions that have something to do with working out and losing weight.  I know if I’m going to be dragging myself to the gym I’m at least going to look decent.  The hardest part of going to the gym is getting there and with these three looks you’ll look forward to getting ready and showing off your great work out outfits.  Best of all, you can get free shipping on these orders by clicking the link below and using the promotional code.  I stocked up on all the workout clothes I’d need for the year!

Black and White:

The first look is the most subtle.  It's just black and white and covers the most as it comes with long pants.  You could also just throw a plain black or white T-shirt over this if you'd like more coverage.

Red:

Red stands out and gets you motivated. I love capri workout pants because you stay cool while working out yet don't have to reveal all of your legs.

Neon Green:

This look is when you're confident enough to call attention to yourself with neon colors and wear revealing shorts.  I know I personally am not at that point yet but some of you fit moms may love these.  If you've got it you may as well flaunt it!

Have you been working out a lot this year? Which one of these outfits do you like the best?

For the Holidays!

With the holidays coming many of us have many different activities we have to go attend such as parties, plays, school functions, lunch dates, and many more. I know I have many days when I have different functions scheduled back to back that I need to look nice for. I needed a couple outfits that I could wear in different settings. Here are two that you can look nice in no matter what holiday activities you need to attend.

Boots by All Saints

Longsleeve Tops by Merona
Sandals by Caparros

Simply Red by The Limited

Red is the color of the holidays!  From the fall hues of Thanksgiving to the red and green of Christmas to striking red on New Year's Eve, red is perfect for any function this season.  With red, the key is to just let a little say a lot. Here are some great looks from The Limited:

Satin Peek Knit Tee

I love this shirt because of the way it falls.  It helps to define your waist yet is forgiving of any imperfections.  It is sophisticated yet comfortable and I think the look of effortless elegance is what we're all going for when we dress up a little.

This shirt can be paired with:

Bias-cut Pencil Skirt

The next look is a flattering plaid that is side zipped and lined.  It's easy to vary how casual or dressy this skirt looks based on what you match it with.  I've offered several different shirts below so you can determine what fits your style best.

This skirt can be paired with any any of these:
