Sponsored Post: Jewelry With A Heart Busy with Style
The Victorian Era brought us so many quaint nostalgic styles and trends, not the least of which is the phrase: "Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue." In fact, much of what's old is new again, especially with antique and vintage jewelry styles that are making a strong comeback with brides. Antique engagement rings are a style trend that are just getting hotter each season and with good cause. [...] Read More

A Timeless Watch The Jewelry Weblog
There's something about a gold pocket watch - timeless (no pun intended) with a whiff of nostalgia. Perhaps that's why a lost pocket watch always makes for such a sad story. This lost watch story has a happy ending. A teenaged grocery store employee, Piero Ramos, spotted a gold watch in the trash behind the store. He traced the owner of the watch from the inscription on the back, [...] Read More
Gossip Watch Wardrobe The Jewelry Weblog
As part of my holiday loot, I received this Gossip Watch Wardrobe. I'm sure the gift giver got it from QVC, since I know she's up too many late nights with her baby. Now, I'm not sure sure about the animal print strap, but most of the others I really like. Plus, it comes with two watches, so I finally have at least a small watch collection now and this [...] Read More

The dress has a horizontal ribbing, which instantly adds height. Also, the halter style neckline does wonders for "the girls" and enhances the shoulders.
The back of this dress is stunning. The criss-crossing of the straps gives the dress an edge to the generally classy look. The crossing of the straps also accentuates the small of the waist while also creating a gorgeous hourglass shape.
This dress is perfect for a formal event because of the classical shape and sensual edge. It is also casual enough for a dinner party or night on the town. The look is completely versatile and timeless, and is an essential to any woman's wardrobe.

I've been walking by Zara at the mall for ages, and I never went in. But summer is here and I desperately need shirts. I was ready to try anything: why not a new store?
To begin with, the store had tons of white cotton shirts - feminine blouses with just the right amount of stitching and graceful finishing touches. Just the right number of ruffles - not too much, but enough to keep things sweet, and unique.
I was with my husband so after seeing barely half the store, I sent him off to look at iPads at the Apple Store while I tried on my selections. They allow six things in the dressing room. I ended up leaving the store with two.
So sad there wasn't time to enjoy the rest of the merchandise - I feel certain I could have freshened up my wardrobe in an afternoon. Anyway, this gives me something to return to!

The model in the photo great, doesn't she?
I ask myself, when I see an outfit like this, if I would have the wherewithal to put it together. I blog about fashion so one would think so. Still, putting together an "effortless" outfit like this one takes nothing but effort.
When I see an off-the-shoulder blouse in the store, I inevitably shy away. I imagine the discomfort of a strapless bra, and the shirt, no matter how good looking, stays on the hanger.
Then there's the shoe/belt matchy thing. I'm always struggling to find shoes, belts and bags that perfectly match - especially when we're talking about the saddle brown pictured here. Let's face it: it's a challenge to get three medium-brown items that all go together.
Then there's the white pant. I am still searching for the right pair of white dress pants. The last time I went to select some, every pair I tried on was slightly see-through, as if seeing underwear lines and pocket lining was somehow attractive.
With all this in mind, I am grateful for Neiman Macus' packaging abilities. I could click through on their site, and buy the whole outfit - then I'd be done!
I look, then look again… Sigh. The Off-the-Shoulder blouse isn't available, and without it, there is no outfit.
Oh well, who ever said fashion was easy!
