What Your Zodiac Sign Says About Your Style!

What your zodiac says about your styleThe second people get a whiff of the sarcasm oozing out of my pores and notice that I feel my best while wearing black and sporting major cleavage they often ask, “What’s your sign?”  Now c’mon, I am never one to believe in aliens, ghosts or that every Scorpio happens to be the same… but every time I read that little blurb in the back of my monthly People magazine I have to say hmm. Always a skeptic, I will have to say-sounds like me so maybe they’re onto something!

The 5 Best Ways To Rock Fur This Season!

Fur at Michael's Consignment shop for womenThese days it seems like we all need to make a statement! We have seen classic shoes and accessories take on a new spin with colors, fabrics and embellishments so it’s no surprise that this Fall our old mink coats are now “yesterdays news”. Check out any runway show from this past fashion week and I dare you to find a designer that didn’t give us some boom boom pow slap in the face with a sick fur spin. Designers have really stepped up their game and reworked the lux classic into new daring and exciting looks. These aren’t your grandmas’ pelts, but now edgy takes on colors, silhouettes and innovative ways to rock what is proven to be the warmest (and most fabulous) winter fabric you can ever drape yourself in.

Packing List! 10 Fashion Essentials For Thanksgiving Travel

celine fur vest for thanksgiving!Say it ain’t so… Can you believe that 2016 is almost over?! I think we can all agree that this year absolutely flew! The holidays are here – and you can literally smell it in the air (apple cider with 1 shot of whiskey please). While I would love to just wrap myself in red plaid, tinsel and turn on the holiday jams it’s not quite that holiday yet. Turkey time is upon us and what we also know as the busiest traveling day of the year. Whether you’re road tripping, flying home to the rents or just laying low and thinking of tackling the parade (you are cray!) you certainly need the essentials. I can tell you from experience there is nothing worse than packing a bag full of items, to then get to your destination and feel like you have nothing to wear.
