The Must-Have Mittens of Winter & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up #54
Are you all getting tired of me telling you how cold it is outside yet? Or are you just plain old tired of being cold this winter? In an attempt to keep as warm as possible, I have been adding layer upon layer of clothing. But accessories also play an important role both in maintaining some sense of style through the long winter months and for practical purposes like keeping you warm. Just yesterday, I shared 5 Reasons to Wear a Hat this Winter and last week, I talked all about Winter Style with blanket scarves. However, the one thing I never leave the house without in the winter is…

Inspired By High Latitude Style: Black Plaid, Red Tulle, and A Side of Frostnip with A Link Up On the Edge #76
Did you know that there is a difference between frostbite and frostnip? I did not until I just looked it up on emedicinehealth. During the outdoor photo session for this post, there may have been some slight weather related injuries to myself and my photographer, Amy. And since I am so frozen these days, my brain has been unable to produce meaningful content for you all…so I thought this was a great opportunity to combine a little science lesson with my style post. But I would remiss if I did not send a shout out to my fellow cold weather blogger and science enthusiast, Nicole of High Latitude Style. I…

Winter Style with Ada & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up #53
Happy New Year! I hope everyone enjoyed a wonderful and safe holiday season! I am ready to get this year started in the most energized and empowering way…and I have so many ideas flooding out of me for 2018. Now I just need to get myself organized and take it one step at a time. First on my agenda though is to get a planner! But this post is not about my big, disorganized plans! That topic is for another day perhaps. Instead, let’s get to some styling business to kick off the new year. Of course, if you follow my blog, then you know Ada of Elegance and Mommyhood.…

Keeping It Golden & Link Up On The Edge #75
Welcome to the final Link Up On the Edge of 2017! A few days ago, I wrote a post discussing the torment of menopause. If you missed that post, you can read it here. Just like most uncomfortable things in life, I like to inject a bit of humor in such topics. And just like most struggles in life, I try to take it all in stride, make the best of the situation, and smile and laugh my way through it. But knowing that on the other side of menopause lies our golden years gives a glimmer of hope that makes it a little easier to keep perspective and stay…

Three, Two, One…Countdown to Classy: Dressing Up Colorful Skirts for the New Year & Thursday Moda Link Up
I have never been one to make New Year’s resolutions. I just don’t really see the point of feigning commitment to some new goal just because the calendar year is turning. I am more of the mindset that when I decide a change needs to be made, I’m going to start making it right now, not on some arbitrary day dictated by a weird societal tradition. Nope, not for me. Not at all. *This is a sponsored post. This jacket was provided to me. As always, all thoughts and opinions are entirely my own. *Jacket: Plus Size Double Breasted Epaulet Flare Coat c/o Rosegal. Available in 4 colors. At this…

#SpreadTheKindness Link Up #52
Your favorite posts from last week. Lisa of Coast to Coast shared her post Monday Musings – A Whole Lot of Random. I have gotten to know Lisa a little bit this past year through blogging and she is the sweetest person ever! I particularly love posts like these where you get a peak into the real life of the woman behind the blog. And I must say, Lisa is totally someone I would be friends with in real life, too! And Jodie, Nancy, and Charlotte of Jodie’s Touch of Style are a favorite once again with another Charlie’s Angels inspired post, It’s Alex Munday of Charlie’s Angels at your…

Inspired by Fashion Should Be Fun: Girl Power & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up #51
If you are a fashion blogger or even the tiniest bit obsessed with fashion, I am sure you know Dawn Lucy of Fashion Should Be Fun. I have been following Dawn Lucy for a few years and I have to say that she has not shared an outfit yet that hasn’t sent me into a complete swoon of adoration. Last month when she shared her post Lily Silk – High Quality Silk, Black Friday Deals, it was her studded booties that made me gasp with delight and sigh, “Oh, I need a pair of studded booties.” Seriously, how fabulous are her booties? The studs just scream girl power. Since I…

Big Boobs in the City & Link Up On the Edge #73
Here it is…my story about Big Boobs in the City. If you recall, I attended the Forever Fierce Meet Up at Chico’s in New York City back in October and I met some amazing women at this event. One of the women who attended the event was Sandra Smith, the owner of Boostwr, a new line of loungewear for young girls and women who are full chested with small frames. When she described her product to the group, I was so excited because this is something I have been searching for…cute and comfortable loungewear that supports my breasts without the restrictions of a bra. I am that woman who removes…

Where Aztec Meets New York & Link Up On the Edge #72
I will be the first to admit that I am not a huge fan of tribal prints. I’m not exactly sure what it is about the geometric shapes and lines that are traditional in this type of pattern, but it just does not appeal to me. I have wondered before on my blog what exactly it is that draws certain people to certain prints and patterns. Even colors, too. *This poncho was gifted to me by Zaful in exchange for this post. All thoughts and opinions are entirely my own. I realized that one particular quality in a print that tends to bother me is complete symmetry. I prefer a…
