Over a week ago I shared with you my personal challenge to travel for almost 2 weeks with just a carry on. Here is A Two Week Vacation Wardrobe With Just 12 Pieces. Day one had me traveling across the country with just my carry on and a basket that acted as my “purse” containing my wallet, plane tickets, magazines, a book, healthy snacks and my beloved Canon camera. I wore a sweater as I always get cold on planes, a striped blouse, navy capri’s, as well as easy slip off/on shoes for security. ... View the Post
Updating Old Blazers

Back To Cool
Last week I went back to school shopping with Sweet Boy. As we embarked on our quest I asked him if there were any specific items that he was looking for. It was time for Back To Cool. Back To Cool His reply: “A white shirt, pants I can roll up and definitely a vest and suspenders.” Luckily, I had just swallowed my big gulp of Pepsi. I tried playing it cool and said “That’s an interesting combination. What is your inspiration?” “Mom, you know how sissy (aka The Fashionista) loves One ... View the Post
