The Ponytail Beanie
Where I live, we have already has two pretty decent snows and the temperature has dropped below freezing. Naturally this means that it is time to break out all of the winter gear we have despite it still being technically the fall season. However, with all of the basics being covered, there still needs to be some innovation in your seasonal wardrobe once in a while. Enter, the ponytail beanie. Last winter I saw this style of beanie here and there, but it was quite the trend that it is this season. The nice part about having a ponytail beanie is that it keeps your hair from getting tangled in…

The Faux Shearling Transitional Top
One of my favorite aspects of spring is not needing to wear a jacket or coat any longer. Living in the Midwest still presents the difficulty of cold mornings and warm afternoons. So, that is where the search for something that works for both weather types begins! I found this faux shearling sweatshirt by Poof! last fall, but I resisted wearing it during the bitterly cold months because it just wasn’t warm enough. However, since a jacket or coat is no longer necessary when walking around outside, this sweatshirt is just perfect to keep you both warm and cool! Another element of this top that I find endearing is how…

How to Wear the Neon Trend This Spring
Months and months ago I predicted that neon was slowly becoming one of the trendiest color schemes of fall 2018. At the time I didn’t know it, but I was also predicting one of the biggest trends of spring 2019, too! I know that pastel is typically the colors that come to mind when you think of spring fashion, but I am here to say that there is most certainly plenty of room in the colorful spring market for more bold shades. Today, I want to expand on that prediction by talking a little bit about how you can incorporate neon into your spring wardrobe. #1. Try a bright version…

A Simple Outfit for Valentine’s Day and Galentine’s Day
Whether your celebrating Valentine’s Day or Galentine’s Day this year we can all agree a simple go-to outfit always comes in handy. Although it is fun to get dressed up for a night out on the town, wearing a cozy sweater never gets old. This is the time of year we see red become the shade of the season, I like to part from tradition a little. Pink has always been one of my favorite colors so I will use any excuse to wear it. That is why I have chosen to sport this pink turtleneck I found at Gordman’s. It is so soft, and I love that it has…

Kate Spade Spring/Summer 2019
Despite all of the fun and fashion, New York Fashion Week was also a emotional milestone. This was the first fashion show after the loss of company founder Kate Spade. There were many impactful tributes dedicated to her, from the all pink runway to the programs with the iconic quote “She left a little sparkle wherever she went”. This collection will be a memorable one for the brand for many reasons, only one being how amazing all of these pieces are. Photos by Vogue This whole runway show seemed to be 60’s inspired and I loved every bit of it! From the fun prints to the all pink outfits, this…

ILYMIX Sunglasses
Something that may surprise you to learn about me (or maybe not) is that I am a little clumsy with my sunglasses. Naturally I a gravitate towards the cheapest pairs I can find because I know that I will either drop or scratch them. So when I opened my mailbox to see a box from the ILYMIX brand I could barely contain my excitement! The first think I noticed when I saw these sunglasses was how well made and sturdy they are! I felt like I could trust myself so much more wearing and using these sunglasses without breaking them. Besides all of that, the styles are so one trend…

“Women” Old Navy T-Shirt
Similar to my look: T-shirt Jacket Sunglasses Pants I am all about female empowerment!! That is why when I saw this tee at Old Navy, there was no doubt in my mind I was going to purchase it!

A pair of black skinny jeans and a cool biker jacket would be one way your could pair this top! Another way you could go would be with navy skinny jeans and a nice denim jacket! However you style it,…

The Summer Floral Trend
Photos taken by Darla Sigmon (@mcsig96 on Instagram) I have never been much of a print girl, but this summer it would seem I am wearing lot more of at least one print. Normally, I like a solid color top with some denim shorts or something else simple and classic, but the floral trend bug has bitten me. Florals are HUGE this summer! You really cannot go shopping without seeing at least one flower on some sort of piece of clothing! The floral trend is so different than most other prints. Every summer it seems like there is at least one kind of print that takes over, but with florals…
