Boot Cuffs .....I'm LOVING them!

As most of you know from my previous pictures and posts on Facebook, I am obsessed with boot cuffs and socks this season. This trendy fashion statement adds character to your outfit, as well as, gives your boots a POP!

When you look at the picture below, you can see that I clearly had an #epicfail when I wore my fabulous boot socks out for a night of bowling. I sure did give the people there a good laugh.

Where can you shop for this look?

Makeover Adventures: Part 1

I have been spending my extra time, snow days, and nights, while Jeremy is working, getting this house in order. There has been lots of tossing, organizing and shopping to make this happen, but I have truly loved every minute. I will blog about these home improvements as we complete them.

My first major makeover was my office closet. This closet was not being used to its fullest potential. I consulted my resident 'expert' on how we could make this happen.....after a trip to Lowe's and Walmart, my closet cubby was complete. Well, maybe I need just a few more decorative items - I think that calls for an IKEA trip!

I will be blogging about these fabulous makeovers and how your too can complete them.

Materials I used for my Closet Cubby:

Lowe's:
3 16in deep wire shelves
12 16in brackets
4 vertical wall-mounts
16 butterfly screws
1 22in deep pine desk top
4 small L brackets (to anchor desk top)

Walmart
A circular saw.....found out this is a must for all home, especially if you rely on me for measurements!!

Decorative storage a boxes, lamp, baskets, etc to make it cozy.

Happy Home Improving!!!

Winterizing a Maxi

We all love our maxi dresses in the summer....why not take them into winter?!? To winterize this comfy dress, all you need to do is add a sweater or cardigan over the dress, tights and boots. These added garments allow the feel of a maxi while keeping you warm. Add long necklaces or a scarf to give that added "dress up" it may need.

Where can you shop for this look?

This outfit is made up from simple tights from Target, a maxi dress and cardigan from Old Navy, boots from Macy's after winter sale (CHEAP) and my gorgeous accessories are Premiere Designs.


Fashion Tip 101: Premiere Jewelry is a fabulous way to get accessories and for FREE!! Ask me for details and I will send you a contact for more info.

Ten Years Later

I decided that I would enter Kathie Lee and Hoda's contest #tenyearslater to see if I could win a trip to NYC and have lunch with them. The point of the contest is to see how much you have changed over ten years for the better. Take a look and see what you think!! 😊

SnowDay Morning Treat

Today is our first snow day of the year, so I was able to enjoy coffee by the fire and a special treat....Cinnamon Rolls on the waffle maker! These are super easy, delicious and require little clean up!

Directions:

Preheat waffle maker
Spray with nonstick spray
Place cinnamon rolls in waffle maker

Let cook 2-3 minutes.


Cutting Calories Tip: Use reduced fat cinnamon rolls and pre-portion them All the flavor with less calories and you don't have to make them all (no added temptation).

Sassy Pants and a High Pony

Nothing makes you feel more sassy than red pants and a high ponytail. This trendy pair of pants allows you various ways to look fabulous!! You can dress them up, dress them down, wear with boots, wear with pumps and even flats! You can purchase these modern skinny jeans from The Loft.

Rocking the Brown & Black

I was completely against the thought of pairing black and brown together two years ago....but now it is one of my favorite trending styles. I should have listened to Kara Jo when she told me I could do this two years ago, but I was a chicken.

Where can you shop for this look?

This outfit is made up of simple black leggings from Target, a sequin tank from Express, a beige t-shirt and denim jacket from Old Navy, my $20 Macy's boots again, color blocked scarf from The Loft and my custom boot cuffs from KnitWit Creations (knitwitcreations.blogspot.com). The purse is a Michael Kors purse that I purchased at a purse party, which helps complete the outfit.

Fashion Tip 101: Having a purse party allows you to get purses, scarfs and other name brand accessories at a fraction of the cost.
