City Slicker

There is nothing like a staycation to quickly regenerate the spirit.

Denim on Denim (The Texas Tuxedo ) was a trend I have always shied away from.  In this case I embraced it and loved the look!  Between the embroidered jeans and the vintage Levi’s jacket I could not have been more appropriately dressed to arrive at The Firebrand Hotel n Whitefish.  Thank you Lori and Dan Avrill for allowing us to shoot on location.

Mixing the feminine and masculine always has a surprising effect.  A camo or leather jacket over an evening gown for instance.  In this case the army jacket with the print skirt worked well with the ever so on trend corset belt.  And, high heels always work with a pencil skirt.

For cocktails and dinner a robe like dress with a short neutral slip makes for a comfortable dinner look. The print is a great backdrop for the YSL cross body  bag and a statement necklace and vintage cuff seal the deal.

Whitefish Weekend

It looks  like I ran away from home and this is my first cappuccino!  Maybe that is why I brought along that book? 

I am so thrilled that Kimonos  are back.  Actually,  they have always been part of my wardrobe.  I love the ease of throwing one over a pair jeans and a tank.  Some signature jewelry and you’re off.  Wearing basics with a pop of color makes for a casual chic combination.

Again a robe like dress with a short neutral slip dress makes for a comfortable dinner look.

I love this silk top.  The elbow length bell sleeves are perfect, not too hot for summer, just enough coverage in the arms.  

Such a fresh vibrant color is set off perfectly by white jeans.  Raffia and camel accents add interest without overpowering. A touch of trend in the pompon on a staple summer bag and you are off.  Remember your go to gold tone jewelry.  Just a touch not too much.
