Spring Trends | April Stylish Monday Link Up
Fashion trends change as quickly as the seasons do. Except where I live, the trends change much faster than the seasons. Yes, we are still experiencing winter weather as we begin our Spring Break. And Spring Break is the time to start showcasing your favorite spring fashion trends. It was snowing yesterday but we are expecting a high today of 60˚F (15.5˚C). That’s a big jump from the sub-freezing temperatures I woke up to this morning. Once again, I am curled up in my fleece leggings and a sweatshirt with a giant blanket scarf wrapped around my shoulders to stay warm because heat is expensive with these crazy gas prices.…

Salty But Sweet in the Snow & Link Up On the Edge #290
Which do you prefer…salty or sweet? Both together? Or perhaps you don’t have a taste for either. If that is the case, what do you eat? Only bland foods that lack in flavor, I suppose. Well, let me assure you that there is nothing bland about me or my tastes…so I am a salty and sweet girl all the way. However, I don’t think my sweater is referring to culinary marinades or various other savory infusions. While it is supposedly referring to the personality traits of the person wearing the sweater, I am the first to recognize that I am not really a salty person at all. Unless really provoked!…

A Cozy Easter Outfit & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up #269
While it did snow here in the North Country over this past weekend, it does not look anything like these photos which were taken back in the beginning of February. All the snow has melted now and it is getting warm enough to melt the snowflakes before they start piling up and forming snow mountains. But as the snow hits the warmer ground and melts away, it merely makes mud season that much muddier. I can’t say that I miss the snow accumulation all that much, but the trade off for mud is not much better. I got on a bit of white boot kick this winter but quickly realized…

Songful Style Link Party | “Leather and Lace” by Stevie Nicks and Don Henley
It’s time for the second installment of Songful Style and it was my turn to choose the tune!

Confetti Sweater & Link Up On the Edge #288
Are you all sick of my snow yet? I am. It is almost April, after all. I know that April showers bring May flowers for most of the northern hemisphere. But in my part of the world, it is more accurate to say that March snows followed by April showers simply brings mud season. No clever rhyming there. What rhymes with mud anyway? Nothing all that savory, to be honest. Also being honest, I shot these photos back at the end of January when we had much more snow on the ground. Right now, there are only few gray patches of filthy snow scattered at street corners and in a…

The Thrifty Six in Thrifted Faves
Technology was playing some silly games these past few weeks which resulted in missed communications all around me. It was kind of weird actually. When those sorts of things happen in abundance in a short period of time it usually means Mercury is in retrograde. But the last retrograde period ended on February 3 and Mercury doesn’t go retrograde again until May 10…just in time to really goof with summer planning. In any event, established email contacts were going missing all over the place. I ended up finding a bunch in my spam folder which I still cannot understand. So if you have sent me an email and I never…

Jewel Tones & Your Own Twist Link Up #42
I know today is St. Patrick’s Day when all of the internet is exploding with all things Irish and all things green. But I didn’t want to do what all of the internet is doing today. Instead we are celebrating Jewel Day by putting our own twists on jewel tones. Yes, I ended up in green anyway but that’s only because green is my forever favorite color and emeralds are my favorite gemstone (and my birthstone) so emerald green was the obvious choice for me. Jewel Day is always celebrated on March 13 and it is simply a day to celebrate gemstones and jewelry…by either giving or receiving these gifts!…

Denim for Days | March Stylish Monday Link Up
“You can make jeans and a t-shirt super stylish. It’s what you make of it, you know?” – Phillip Lim It seems like the world of denim has gone completely crazy with an endless amount of styles to suit everyone’s aesthetic and needs. I have gone through many phases of denim love and sometimes hate over the years. There was a time during my grade school years and a time in my 20s when I didn’t own a single pair of jeans. Over the last five years, however, I have become a bit of denim collector. I do believe that I own every style of denim (skinnies, flares, cropped, boyfriend,…
