Style Icon - Diana Ross

The Incomparable Ms Diana Ross

Before there was Madonna and Lady Gaga...there was Diana Ross!!! Diana was the epitome of style...her look was always daring and she was not afraid to put sexy on the stage. She took glamour to the limit and then added more to it. Her outfits were always full of dramatic flair...and Diana never saw a fur she didn't like.

Winter Gloves

I am always anxious for it to get cold enough to require wearing gloves...and it's finally cold enough in Texas to wear them. But I'm not talking about any old glove. I am talking about vintage gloves. I love vintage gloves and I own quite a few.

Wearing Vintage

So, I blog about vintage a lot...but I don't have many pictures of me actually wearing my vintage finds. So, I've decided to start a new series called "Wearing Vintage" on Mondays. I will try to overcome my camera shyness and share pictures of me out and about wearing vintage clothing. So here is the first attempt...Ok, Ok, so it's not my face...but I absolutely LOVE these shoes. I found them at Gratitude Vintage and I wear them with just about anything I can.

Dressing for Winter - Cardigans

I love cardigans for the fall and winter. They are the single-most versatile piece of clothing for the season. It's quite easy to dress them up or down, layer them over a simple T for extra warmth or use them as a cover over those leggins (if you're butt conscious). You can also find some of the most lady-like and beautiful pieces that will flatter that LBD or wear it as a top over that skin-tight jeans for a night out on the town.  While I can't buy or wear all the beautiful ones I've found...I can at least share...
