The 4th of July is quickly approaching! It’s time to start figuring out what to wear to celebrate Independence Day with a cute red, white, and blue outfit. For the 4th of July I usually like to wear a dress. It’s easy and comfortable to wear from the morning parade to evening fireworks and every cookout in between. This year I will be in Columbus for the 4th. My hometown of Upper Arlington gets really into the 4th of July, it’s an all day spectacle. I bought this Maxwell and Geraldine stripe dress in blue to wear on the 4th. The city of Columbus host an annual massive fireworks display on the 3rd of July called Red, White, and Boom. I haven’t celebrated the 3rd of July since my early 30’s, but just in case one of my friends decides to have a cookout I am ready with my navy nap dress. I also bought this white romper for a costume change. Only kidding…. I am taken it with me for a backup plan. Besides it makes for a great summer outfit to throw on to go run errands or meet up with friends for dinner. The 4th of July is the best time to get dressed up and enjoy festivities with family and friends. Here are a few 4th of July outfit ideas wear while you celebrate America. (more…)

If you have been following me for a while then you know that I always wear sunglasses in my photos. This isn’t to embody some mystique, it’s because I have sensitive eyes. You would rather me wear sunglasses than look like I am crying in my photos. When it comes to wearing sunglasses, I don’t always follow trends of the season. No futuristic vibes for me. I buy what I like and usually in either black or tortoiseshell. Lately, however, I have been getting tired of my bland sunglasses. There are many summer sunglass trends to sport like large aviators, Y2K styles, rectangular shape, and playful colors. One trend I do love that has been around for a while now is the clear frame sunglasses. I just bought these recently and can’t wait to wear them!  Another trend that I am on board with is the cat-eye sunglasses; timeless and chic. It feels like the white cat-eye sunglasses are gracing my social media feeds more and more each day. Although I doubt I will plunge into that particular style, I am eyeing these cat-eye sunglasses. And for something colorful I have also been eyeing these pink sunglasses.Here are 10 summer sunglasses that I am currently coveting. (more…)

Although I am best known for dresses, I do like to throw on a skirt every once in a while in the summertime. Whether running errands or out to an event, skirts are the most versatile item in your wardrobe. Pair it with a white tee-shirt and sneakers for a casual look. Style it with a nice blouse and a pair of heels for an elevated look.  (more…)
