Lake Placid Travel Day & Link Up On the Edge #94
Life is really kicking my butt lately. Allergy season is upon us which seems to have gotten the best of me and my kids today. We are all coughing and sneezing and congested and ever so sleepy. So once again, I did not get my post written in a timely manner. And this bothers me some because I am a very timely person. But alas, my muse must be sleeping right now because the struggle is real trying to find the words I want to share. Maybe the allergies have got hold of her as well. Or maybe she is suffering with menopause like I am. I’m tired, my friends.…

Laughter, Luggage Carts & Link Up On the Edge #93
I dedicate this post to my fabulously creative, wonderfully quirky, brilliantly artistic, and fantastically goofy friend, Anne M. Bray of Spy Girl. Anne, I hope you appreciate how completely odd I really am. For those of you know me personally and probably many of you who know me virtually, you most likely already know that I can have fun just about anywhere at any time under nearly any circumstances. I could have fun in an empty room by myself…now don’t let your minds go all perverted with that idea…but well, you know, I will just leave that one alone. Moving on… One of my main philosophies of life is this:…

Taking a Blogging Break in Lake Placid & Link Up On the Edge #92
I have been running on nearly empty for quite some time now, pondering and battling with myself whether or not I should take a little blogging break. I love blogging. Sharing my thoughts, my philosophical wonderings, my fashion choices, and everything in between brings me so much joy every day. Reading your comments and your blog posts sends me inspiration when I need it most. I really do love every second of my job. But alas, I am exhausted and it finally hit me hard yesterday…just in time for an already planned girls’ weekend getaway. I had hoped to have scheduled posts ready to go before I left for the…

Camo Booties with Gooseberry Red & Link Up On the Edge #90
I have been wanting camouflage booties ever since I saw Cherie of Style Nudge showcase these Jeffrey Campbell Siren Booties in her Shoe and Tell Link Up back in November. While I still want these exact booties in the camo, I opted for this open toed version since Spring should be here soon. But since Spring weather did not arrive with the Spring Solstice, I had to wear socks with my open toed shoes. *This is not a sponsored post. All thoughts and opinions are entirely my own. And after checking out the Nordstrom link to the Jeffrey Campbell booties, I saw that they come in these other amazing patterns, so…

Keeping Perspective & Link Up On the Edge #89
I want to start out by thanking all of you so much for the wonderful comments that you shared on my post about the hacking issue. As I stated in that post, I was overwhelmed by how many people stepped forward to my aid when the problem with my website surfaced. I very much wanted to share the story with you all because there is always good to be found in issues like these. And the good that I found clearly was the willingness of so many people to help out another just for the sake of being kind. And that now leads me to the topic of keeping perspective.…

On Beneficence & Link Up On the Edge #88
Many of you may already know that my website was hacked this week which resulted in my having to pull the entire site offline until the issue was resolved. Clearly, it has been resolved and I am back up and running as if nothing had ever happened. Except I probably have a few more gray hairs and I may have lost a few pounds from lack of food consumption during the incredibly stressful past few days. I want to properly thank all of the people who were involved in fixing the problem, but I am going to save that for my Tuesday #SpreadTheKindness Link Up…because it is a perfectly suited topic…

How to Style a Spring Dress in the Bitter Cold & Link Up On the Edge #87
This is my final post for my collaboration with EvaTrends and I have been waiting to share this dress because it has just been too darn cold to photograph a lightweight Spring dress. But it had to be done. So I put it on, layered it up, snapped some photos, and nearly froze to death. *This is a sponsored post. This dress was provided to me for purposes of this blog post. As always, all thoughts and opinions are entirely my own. *Dress: Swan Print A-Line Dress c/o EvaTrends. The dress is super cute and flowy and will be perfect for a warm day due to its loose fit and…

My Week in Review & Link Up On the Edge #86
I just got back from a whirlwind trip to the tri-state area of New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. I have to be honest…I am so beat! I left Saturday morning and drove to visit my dear friend, Hallie, in northern New Jersey. I have not seen in her in probably 14 years and it was so great to catch up. She is a fellow fashionista and we just had a blast talking about everything from the business of style to parenting, marriage, relationships, moving, life goals, midlife, and everything in between! We covered a lot of ground in 6 hours. I am so excited that she has moved back…

Inspired by Not Dead Yet Style & Link Up On the Edge #85
So I got this dress from EvaTrends and when I first put it on, I did not look like the model in the product images. Not even close. In reality, I suppose I did not actually expect that I would look anything like the model but I guess I was just kind of hoping I would be so cute. I wasn’t. So I took it off and hung it at the front of my closet waiting for inspiration to hit. *This is a sponsored post. This dress was provided to me for purposes of this blog post. As always, all thoughts and opinions are entirely my own. Knowing that I…

Keeping Cozy with EvaTrends & Link Up On the Edge #84
Do you remember my wish list post a few weeks ago when I introduced a new brand collaboration with EvaTrends? I shared a bunch of adorable pieces that are on my wish list and today I am featuring the first one of three items that they sent to me for review. *This is a sponsored post. This kaftan dress was provided to me for purposes of this post. As always, all thoughts and opinions are entirely my own. *Dress: Moonlight Dance Tassel Kaftan Dress in Coffee c/o EvaTrends. Available in 2 colors. I know Spring is just around the corner and she keeps stopping by for brief visits every few…
