Outfits of the Day #ootd
I love to put together outfits. I find something calming and exciting in the process. And if I think I look good, I tend to feel great! Hopefully, you can find some inspiration here for feeling amazing in your own body.

Styling Tall Boots for Fall & Your Own Twist Link Up #2
Remember my post, Running on Empty? I told you all I had about a million collaborations coming up…and here is my third one this week. This one was Monica’s brainchild and it’s a fun one! We have Ada of Elegance and Mommyhood joining us co-host this month. Last month, we brought to you Fashion Icon Halloween Costumes and this month we are sharing our fall outfits featuring tall boots. As I stated in yesterday’s edition of The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book, you know I love my combat boots. And this over the knee version that I got from ShoeDazzle last year are some of my absolute favorites. They are perfect over…

The Holiday Series 2018-Thanksgiving Outfit Inspiration & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up #97
Ada is at it again with a huge blogger collaboration series this year! Of course, I am always ready to join her and this fabulous line up of amazing blogger friends. Today, there are 13 of us bringing you lots of outfit inspiration just in time for Thanksgiving Day. Get cozy, get comfortable, get warm, and eat all the yummy food! For my outfit, I chose my super comfortable, extra stretchy skinny boyfriend jeans from Torrid layered up with a plain gray long sleeve tee shirt and a very old, but very cozy purple poncho sweater. And to keep some edge with my casual style, I added these fun gray…

Shelbee’s Sunday Morning Quarterback #10: Why Can’t We Just Close Teams Out?
#20 Penn State Nittany Lions 22 – Wisconsin Badgers 10 Welcome to the tenth episode of Shelbee’s Sunday Morning Quarterback! Before I turn it over to my husband, the Sunday Morning Quarterback, I want to briefly explain what I am wearing for today’s post. Recently, Dawn Lucy of Fashion Should Be Fun hosted a giveaway for a $250 shopping spree to Foxcroft NYC who specialize in no-iron classic button down shirts and I was the winner! I had to try one of their white button down shirts to see what the rave was all about. Since I was going with white, I also chose a pair of indigo wash denim cropped…

A Girl Walked into a Bar & Link Up On the Edge #119
You know that old philosophy that people come into your life for a reason? Everyone has a purpose to serve within each encounter and each relationship. What that purpose is will differ with each individual dynamic and each separate event. Some people will push you. Some will challenge you. Some will question you. Some will teach you. Some will frustrate the hell out of you. Some will bring you pleasure. Some will bring you pain. Some will enrich you. Some will empower you. Some will feed your intellect. Some will fuel your soul. Some will hate you with a passion. And some will love you with no bounds. So many…

Cold Weather Coziness with Ethyl Clothing
It is that time of year when the weather in Northern New York just turns kind of crummy. While the fall foliage is absolutely stunning up here, it lasts for a very short period of time and before we know it we are buried in snow until some time in May. And as you are all probably well aware by now, I get so damn stinking cold when the temperatures drop below 50. I honestly don’t know how I am going to survive this winter if we hit our typical temperatures of 20 to 40 degrees below zero. When Ethyl Clothing invited me to try out some of their fall…

Wednesday’s Quote of the Week & An Outfit
I know I only shared two Word of the Week posts so far, but I have to admit, I am not a fan. I don’t like it. It was supposed to be an easy post to write but then I found myself getting all stressed trying to come up with a great word for the day. So silly…getting stressed about such a benign thing. So I am bailing on the Word of the Week posts in favor of a Quote of the Week instead. I do love a good quote! And while I do enjoy the etymology of words, stringing a bunch of words together to create magic is way…

Shelbee’s Sunday Morning Quarterback #9: The Great, the Good, the Bad, and the Sad
#5 Michigan Wolverines 42 – #14 Penn State Nittany Lions 7 Welcome to the ninth episode of Shelbee’s Sunday Morning Quarterback! Before I turn the keyboard over to my husband, I just want to add a short preface. We are a few hours behind schedule on this one, making it more like the Sunday Afternoon Quarterback…there was a lot of drinking and way too much food consumed yesterday that left us both feeling lethargic this morning. Not to mention, the emotional aspect of yesterday…keep reading for details on that. By the way, I am so proud of my husband for addressing the topics he did in this post today. He…

Running on Empty & Link Up On the Edge #118
I had big goals today. Again. And my energy level did not meet my ambition level. Again. And I have tons of work that needs to get done. Again. And there are not enough hours in the day. Again. And I know that my little sob story here is not unique or strange or different. It is the world we all live in and the cycles we all pass through. So you can relate, I’m sure. So bear with me whilst I continue on my whiny way… I have much to write that needs writing. Topics of great importance to me that are becoming clearer in my head and prime…

The Magnificent 8 Are Distressed
I don’t know if you remember back in July when I introduced a new quarterly collaboration with 7 amazing blogger friends who each represents a different decade of life…The Magnificent 8 Showcase: Life’s a Beach. We range from teens to 80’s and are showing that style truly is ageless. Each quarter, we choose a theme and each create an outfit that suits our own personal tastes and fashion choices and we post them on the last Wednesday of every third month. So be sure to go check out everyone’s posts for lots of style inspiration at any age! Courtney of Sugar Coated Bears is representing teenagers. Michelle of Michelle’s Pa(i)ge…

The Fab 40’s Went Goth
For as long as I can remember, I have always been drawn to different fashion trends, never fitting into one clean little box of style. Throughout the seasons of my life as I have experimented with my own personal style, I have noticed that I favor certain styles more than others. But one genre of fashion that always makes me feel most comfortably like myself is Goth. Not the over the top, spikes and leather and morbid Goth, but a more subtle and tame version of Goth style. When Suzy of Pixie Chick in Portugal chose this month’s theme for The Fab 40’s, my angsty heart from my teenage years…
