Power Color | Mustard Yellow Sweaters

Fashion•Shopping

Today’s post is all about mustard yellow, specifically, mustard yellow sweaters thanks to the suggestion of my mom (thanks MOM)! When she was visiting, we found her a gorgeous mustard blouse at Primark and were talking about it being a “power color” – meaning it’s definitely a color that grabs attention and is a bold choice! Now, I’ve heard people say “I can’t pull off this color” or not everyone can wear this color. I disagree, as I believe anyone can pull anything off – all it takes is a little confidence! And anyone who TRULY believes that you...

Silver Jeans Loft Grand Opening

Lifestyle•Shopping

Last night I had the pleasure of attending an event for the grand opening of the Silver Jeans Loft at the Mall of America. Typically I avoid the MOA at all costs, but this was definitely worth it! I have been a fan of Silver Jeans since I was in high school because I could always find pairs that really fit my curves well. They really have it nailed down at this place for finding the perfect fit! The styles include Tuesday, Aiko and Suki, which are all suited to fit certain body types. Tuesday is straight fit, Aiko...

Polka Dot Maxi + Cowl Neck Sweater

Outfits

To me, nothing is more comfortable or stylish than a maxi skirt. You don’t have to worry about length (which for tall girls is always a problem when it comes to dresses, pencil and mini skirts) and they look incredibly chic, but you feel like you are still at home lounging around in your pajamas. I love winterizing  maxi skirts by simply pairing them with a sweater. I always belt a combo like this because the skirt and sweater are looser items, so by adding a belt, I give myself shape. Add some tall socks and a pair of boots and...

Our last full day in Paris, we went to the Louvre and saw Ms. Mona Lisa and Cupid, then wandered over to the Arch de Triumph and got dessert at a McCafe!  It was the perfect day and a perfect way to spend our last full day in Paris.  I loved Paris and hope to go back sometime!
