Restyling My Wedding Dress for Thanksgiving Day
First, I want to wish all of my American readers a very Happy and Blessed Thanksgiving! We are hanging out at my sister’s house today in our most comfy clothes, stuffing our faces with all the delectable treats. Recently, I restyled my wedding dress for a photoshoot and seeing as it probably won’t fit me after all the holiday food consumption, now is great time to share it. My tenth wedding anniversary is quickly approaching…January 23 will mark a decade of wedded bliss with my favorite soldier. Being married to a man in the military means that we are both married to the military. Once again, my husband will be…

Radical Ralphie is the Bomb & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up #150
Last week, I introduced you all to a new series here at Shelbee on the Edge…Radical Ralphie: The Boy Fashion Blogger. And if you recall my post from last Tuesday about Unexpected Gifts, you may recognize this adorable little bomber jacket that Mireille of Chez Mireille so generously gifted to my style crazed 6 year old. He can be finicky and rather stubborn when it comes to his clothing. Actually, he can be finicky and stubborn when it comes to just about anything in life. As such, I wasn’t sure if he would be overly excited about his new jacket when it arrived or if he would toss it to…

The Fab 40’s are Mixing Prints like Pros
Before I started writing this blog, I only admired outfits with quirky combinations of prints. I struggled with combining clashing patterns myself for such a long time, feeling somewhat like an imposter of sorts. Like who the heck was I to think I could possibly pull off these cool mergers between seemingly opposed patterns that you only saw on fashion icons and street style celebrities? I always have had eclectic taste when it came to fashion, but print mixing was something completely new and totally foreign to me in my styling choices just a few short years ago. I remember back in September of 2016 being inspired by my dear…

The Sunday Afternoon Quarterback #12: Sometimes the Other Team is Just Better
#8 Penn State Nittany Lions 17 – #2 Ohio State Buckeyes 28 Penn State versus Ohio State. It’s the football game that every Nittany Lion fan looks forward to every year. A game that is tied for most played opponent for White Out games. I’m fairly certain this matchup will lead White Out opponents when next years opponent is decided. A game that for the last four years has determined the winner of the Big Ten East Conference and the right to play for the conference championship. In order to be king in the east, Penn State must first dethrone the sitting one. However, this task has proven difficult for the Nittany Lions. After dropping two heartbreaking losses the last two…

The Benefits of Flaxseed Oil for Skin & Link Up On the Edge #172
Oh, sweet menopause and the years that lead up to it. Are any members of the female gender exempt from the symptoms? There are dozens of symptoms that accompany this change of life and every woman experiences a unique combination of them. From cold flashes (I don’t get hot, I freeze) to severe cramping and raging PMS to itchy skin and consistently disrupted sleep, I have to say that none of the premenopausal symptoms are really pleasant except perhaps the part about increased sex drive. However, that can be a nuisance as well if it hits at inopportune times leaving one feeling all frisky and no way to scratch that…

Inspired by SpyGirl: All the Prints
This was by far my most challenging inspired outfit ever. That sounds kind of weird, doesn’t it? I mean, if it is an inspired outfit, it shouldn’t be a challenge, for the inspiration was already there. So let me explain. My very dear friend, Anne M. Bray of SpyGirl and other blogs, has been an inspiration to me in countless ways over the past few years. She is one of the funniest women I have ever met. In life. Ever. In my 45 years on earth. We get bantering on and on in blog comments, Facebook comments, and emails and I am always in stitches by the end of the…
