Wardrobe Staples: Chambray Shirts

This one is for all the readers out there, ladies and gentlemen! A chambray shirt is a closet staple, dress it up or down - it will be one of the most versatile pieces in your closet. Being in the denim family, it looks great with any color or texture and is pretty foolproof. It lends itself to a laid back vibe that is approachable and comfortable even with dressy attire and its durability offers a casual ruggedness.

Fox Yeah!

So my forever favorite seems to be the darling of the fashion community this winter with foxes popping up all over the place. Taylor Swift was just spotted at the zoo rocking a fox sweater and Tory Burch has a whole line of products dedicated to the fabulous red fox. In case you want to get in on the action I have assembled a large collection of fox finds, most are pretty easily attainable, while a few are definitely for hard core fox lovers like myself. (Number 2 & 9 are my top picks.)

Birthday Foxes

Fox Blouse Detail

Today is my birthday and I share it with my twin sister. We are full-on identical twins, which is awesome; we both feel bad for people that don't have twins because we can't imagine life without each other. Happy Birthday, Terrie, I love you and think you are the best! This year I have received some fox-themed birthday gifts and wishes, but my absolute favorite came from my absolute favorite twin sister. It is a pretty sweet fox blouse that I've had my eye on. I had my husband take a few pictures for me to share because my look today showcases the majority of my blog posts so far in action while highlighting my foxy gift.

The Ultimate Mixed Neutral - Leopard!

I have an affinity for mixed neutrals and have been rocking black-brown combinations for over a decade, long before Gwyneth stepped out in it. Black, brown, grey, tan, cream, & white are just begging to be mixed by their very nature. If they go with anything, why not each other? By far, the ultimate mixed neutral is leopard print! There is fine line between a great leopard print, and a Nana or trashy leopard. Let’s explore...
