Inspired by Petite Silver Vixen: My New Beret
‘Tis the season in the North Country when hats are a necessity as temperatures have a tendency to drop below freezing quite frequently. Also, living so near a Great Lake, winds can often become a problem. So if I don’t want a mouthful of my own hair every time I step outside, hats are sort of a prerequisite to keep my tresses from blowing around in a blinding and choking manner! But there is no need to sacrifice style when choosing a hat. You already know my current obsession with those 20’s inspired cloche hats. But I have recently been inspired by the fabulous style of Jacqueline of Petite Silver…

Inspired by Fashion Fairy Dust: DressLily Lace Extender & Networking
Last week, I attended a meeting with a group of amazing women and two fabulous men. We were discussing the topic of networking in business and the fact that many people tend to shy away from the term. I suppose the whole concept of networking and network marketing can be rather intimidating especially if you are bashful and laid back. Not wanting to be pushy, I find networking my small business a rather daunting task. Until I realized what it actually means to network. *This is a sponsored post. All thoughts and opinions are entirely my own. *Lace Extender: Plus Size Lace Extender Sheer Mini Skirt c/o DressLily. As we…

Inspired by Random-osity: Peaceful Retreat
Tamar of Random-osity shared a post about the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C., a few weeks ago. It was a short post with beautiful photographs of the cathedral both inside and out and it included very few words. But these words struck a chord and sent me deep within myself and searching the furthest recesses of my memory: “[I]t’s a stunning architectural work that I found to be my peaceful retreat early in my college years. The second I entered the main chapel I sighed and felt at peace.” *This is not a sponsored post. And so the thought process began: When was the last time I had a peaceful…

Inspired by Cindy Sherman with Rosegal & Link Up On the Edge #56
I have been enamored with the artwork of Cindy Sherman for more than half of my life. I was first introduced to her work by a college professor in one of my Philosophy classes back in the late 90’s. I was embarking on a quest to complete my first very large research paper, the requirement being a minimum of 30 written pages. Egads. That was a daunting assignment for a teenager. Even more daunting, I decided that I was going to tackle the concept of voyeurism. *This is sponsored post. As always, all thoughts and opinions are entirely my own. I had no idea where to begin. I just knew…
