These boots even made it on my “A Few of My Favorite Things” list for winter 2018/19! Duck boots have gotten me through the sludge of fading away snow and puddles of rain.

So at this time of year when the colors of the season call for a cheerful red, I am happy to pull out some of my favorite Tommy Hilfiger designs. This shirt I an absolute classic, in my opinion!

Plaid Made Chic
Fall is known for bringing out everyone’s secret love for flannels and plaids. Blame it on the chilling weather or the clouds that begin to gather in the sky, whatever the reason plaid is one of my go-to prints for fall fashion! I always love to find an oversized top, like this one, and tuck it in. This gives outfits a more layered look, in my opinion. For an even more layers, couple a plaid top with a denim jacket or a cool vest and you’ve got yourself a winning combination! Normally, with a black plaid blouse, like the one I am wearing, you might wear it with black skinny…

Louis Vuitton Spring/Summer 2019
Louis Vuitton is creating a whole new kind of street style chic! Chock full of puffy sleeves and western style ankle boots, there is nothing that is off limits with this new kind of casual style! These photos are not mine. In the wide world of high fashion, Louis Vuitton is a leading figure.

Color Blocking for Fall 2018
As the weather slowly becomes colder, we are all still looking for ways to cope with the in between weather days while also staying stylish. Here is the perfect solution – color blocking. This cute striped sweater has quarter length sleeves, and a scoop neckline. With this neckline you could pair it with a cute scarf or a nice vest. If it gets a little warmer outside on that in between weather day you could style it like how I am wearing the color blocked sweater above! I decided this sweater from Old Navy would be so cute with a cutoff pair of denim shorts and some sandals. Also, color…

Rhoda Morgenstern’s Style
I don’t know about you, but I love it when television shows or films use fashion to speak volumes about a character. It helps set the mood whether that be sadness, fear, joy, or excitement. Style can also be used to display the deterioration or growing of one character’s confidence. That growth of confidence and use of fashion is exactly what we saw from the one and only Rhoda Morganstern! These photos are not mine. When we were first introduced to Rhoda on The Mary Tyler Moore Show, she was considered the fat (even though she was not and looked perfectly fine) loser friend. But we were told that she…
