Call it the Hollywood way. Call it the cool mom approach. Call it whatever you want. The new(ish) trend going around is letting little kids play the part of teenager. Not just for play time or dress up, but all the time. Between wearing clothes way beyond their years, sporting dark lipstick and (gasp) even...

pastels with a punch
Friends, I’m here today to confess the cold, hard truth. 1. Today was literally freezing. 2. I may be slightly obsess with the Easter Bunny’s fashion sense. But back to the first truth. This is not the balmy Florida weather I know and love. I was all bundled up like the kid in The Christmas...

casual chic: boots + leggings
I’ve only been in Chicago for a few short days and already I’ve noticed a few things. 1. It gets really cold here. Shocker, I know! 2. The wind blows a lot. Hello, Windy CIty! 3. Black leggings and boots are the most spotted fashion combo (usually topped with a sleek jacket or layers of...

casual friday – grey stripes
It’s casual Friday, arguably the best day of the week (hello weekend!), and I’m loving this grey stripe/jeans look, complete with snazzy clogs, a friendship bracelet, a crafty necklace and the coolest Michael Kors bag I’ve seen yet. It definitely goes from work week to weekend fun.

casual friday
Inspired by Jessica Simpson’s extravagant birthday gift, a new orange Birkin bag (can you imagine?!), here’s a complete outfit with more budget friendly pieces to balance the high and low. Crisp white pants in the summer never get old and the math nerd in me is drawn to this red geometric top. A few gold...

accessories galore
With the baby belly growing at what seems like an exponential rate, I’ve had more interest lately in fun accessories than anything else fashion-related. Even when my feet get too big for the shoes in my closet, a big necklace, chunky bracelet or watch always works. I spent my lunch hour today checking out the...

the uniform
I’m still avoiding maternity clothes like the plague with the exception of a few dress pants and these skinny jeans. My go-to look is either a tank top and flowy cardigans or fitted top and scarf, both with jeans and boots. I guess I’ll have to find a new look when it warms up a...

Golden Globes Dresses
Is it raining everywhere this weekend? I love watching the red carpet and seeing what the stars are wearing. They still look fabulous despite the weather. There’s no way my hair would maintain a hairstyle with rain pouring down like that. It would be puffy and curly in no time at all! As for the...

A New Take on the Locket
I used to have a long locket necklace I wore almost every day until I broke the chain, but I haven’t been productive enough to fix it yet. It’s still sitting in my jewelry box waiting to be repaired. I think people put the most interesting things inside lockets — everything from old photos to...

Get Dressed in Nude
It looks like skin is in or at least, skin colors are in. Is nude the new black? I’ve never been a huge fan of tan, but it’s starting to look better and better. It’s on Hayden Panetierre… At Jenni Kayne…and Michael Kors…on Chloe Sevigny… At Forever 21… … and don’t forget the girl with...

30A Favorite: Nike Tempo Running Shorts
Sure 30A is a hot vacation spot, but it’s becoming more obvious that our little community is now one of the more popular places for people to get their exercise on. It only makes sense when we have 20 something miles of paved trails and some of the best scenery you can find. In the...

Get Your Bib On
Lately, when it comes to necklaces, bigger is better. Specifically, bib is better. I still think dainty is delightful, but why not make a stronger statement every now and then with a bold bib necklace? Check out a few from ShopStyle: Stormy Sea Necklace from Anthropologie $48 and Matte Bib Necklace from Arden B, $28...

To Dye For
It’s another cold day at the beach, so I’m trying to survive by focusing on the warm weather and sunshine coming this way soon. I love this dress on Ashley Tisdale. Her Gypsy 05 tie-dye would be perfect as a beach cover-up or even better dressed up for some shopping or lunch out. You can...
