Summer Fashion Trends – Sneak Peak
21 Monday May 2012
This weekend was completely hectic. My house stands in shambles as proof of the fact that I barely had time to eat this weekend. Which is a big deal. I’m not one of those people who forgets to eat. It was busy because I’m putting together a summer fashion trends segment for the Fox 13 weekend edition. I’ve been planning trends, coordinating schedules, borrowing outfits from local boutiques. I underestimate how much time it would take, if I’m being honest. But it’ll be fun! Here’s a sneak peek of three of the four outfits that will be featured. And if you watching TV this Saturday morning at around 8:45 am (and you’re local), click over to channel 13 and let me know what you thought.
Outfit post: Neon yellow and bright pink

If you’re in the area tomorrow and looking for a fashion fix, you should stop by the Fashion Walk at 9th and 9th. A few of the local clothing stores are previewing summer trends, style consultants will be on hand to answer style questions and, of course, there’ll be time to stop for gelato. I think it’ll be a great even and a perfect start to the weekend.
Hope to see you there!
Matching your lipstick to your clothing: Do or Don’t?
17 Thursday May 2012
Posted in Fashion, Hair & Beauty
I’ve been really in to bright lip colors lately (yes, a little late on that bandwagon, but at least I made it). I’ve also been very drawn to bright lipstick-hued clothing lately. This made me wonder: Should you match your lipstick to your clothes? Should you forget the bright lipstick when wearing bright colors? Or, if you do opt for lipstick, should it contrast the color you’re wearing? Or am I the only one overthinking it this much? (I realize it’s most likely that last one)
Here’s a few looks I’ve tried with both matching lips to clothes and contrasting.
So, what do you think? Matching or contrasting? Or should I stop worrying so much about this altogether? (again, probably that last one)
Outfit Post: Geometric dress with hi-lo hem
15 Tuesday May 2012
I really love the hi-lo hem on dresses. And this one has a splash of neon in it, which makes it even better. As the weather gets hotter, the idea of wearing skinny jeans sounds less and less appealing. It’s amazing how much cooler a skirt is.
What do you think of hi-lo hems? Neon?
Trend I love: Lace

Arguable the most ladylike of trends, lace has really been growing on me. It’s one of those looks I used to consider only appropriate for dressy occasions. Lately, though, I’ve been seeing it around in a more casual way and I’m loving it. Here are a few lace pieces I’d love to own and how I’d style them.
What do you think of lace? How would/do you style lace?
Outfit Post: Tied Shirt
10 Thursday May 2012
I tried the tied-shirt trend I saw last year, but I’m not sure I pulled it off. And while a tied button-down shirt still conjurs up images of Britney Spears a la “Baby One More Time”, I thought I’d give it a whirl. And ya know? I like it.
And in case you’re thinking my hair looks wet, it’s because it is. I just really hate doing my hair. So I put some wave enhancer in it, scrunch it and let it do its thing.
I also just got these platform sandals in the mail yesterday. I love the way they look, so hopefully they’re comfortable enough to keep me happy this summer.
What I want now: Floral pants trend
09 Wednesday May 2012
I’m absolutely dying for a pair of floral pants right now. The problem is most floral pants are just still too expensive. Like colored denim last year, they just aren’t as readily available in the lower price points yet. So until I find the right pair of floral pants in my price range, I’ll have fun imagining how I’d wear them…

Shopping in Salt Lake: Seasons Boutique
08 Tuesday May 2012
Living in the south end of the valley, I usually feel like I have to take a trip north to find a fun, local, unique boutique. So I was thrilled when I found Seasons Boutique right in my neighborhood.
What’s funny is I’ve been to this shopping area a lot. Five Guys is there, so, a LOT. But I had never really noticed Seasons Boutique until my little Google search brought me here. And I’m so glad it did. Like many of the other boutiques in the Salt Lake valley, this one was very well merchandised. But while many boutiques can be on the pricey side, all the prices in Seasons Boutique were very reasonable. It’s definitely someplace I could come spend some money without feeling the least bit guilty about it.
What really puts this local store over the top is the fact that they have a full-blown online store affiliated with the boutique, Panache. Sure, plenty of boutiques have a website with at least a few styles on them. But theirs is high quality and easy to navigate.
Needless to say, I’m really happy to have such a cute store nearby.

Outfit post: Pink, denim and green
26 Thursday Apr 2012
Well, I finally did it. I wore my pink maxi skirt to work. And ya know what? It’s not so bad after all. This time I paired it with my very favorite piece in my closet, my chambray shirt. It’s one of those pieces I can’t believe I lived without. And, since it’s overcast with a chance of rain today, I added my anorak jacket. It’s another piece I absolutely love, but it’s a bit too small for me. As in, it won’t zip over my hips. So, I’m on the lookout for a new one. But for now, this will do.
I’ve definitely found that pairing the skirt with neutrals and basics really tones down the shock value and helps me be a little more comfortable wearing it.
And, because he’s cute and turns 1 this week, here’s a picture of my puppy. My 76-pound puppy.
