The Classic Breton Striped Shirt

I think everyone needs at least one or more Breton striped piece.  A good striped top is such a classic, any season, fashion staple and can be styled in countless ways.

Shop Sunday: The Curiosity Shoppe

If I had to describe the Curiosity Shoppe in one word I would choose quirky, deliciously quirky, which is the reason I love it. You'll find items unlike any other, from homegoods to art to jewelry.   So many creative and unique gifts abound, perfect for the looming holiday.  I wish I could have it all.

Saturday Style Icon: Abbey Lee Kershaw

Abbey Lee looks incredible on and off the runway.  I love that she is not afraid to experiment with texture in her clothing (and also her hair)!  You can usually find her wearing lace of some kind, scarves, and numerous accessories.  Her fashion and beauty fearlessness is what earned her the title of this week's style icon.

Vintage Gloves

This winter, I've substituted my usual Dollar Tree knits with 50's vintage gloves.  They add a bit of glam to my winter wear and make going outside in the freezing cold a tiny bit more fun.  Of course, vintage gloves cost more than $1 but are certainly worth the investment and can usually be found for around $10 or less.
