"If you’re carrying the whole world on your shoulders, there’s no reason to carry your sleeves too”.

Welcome back FI readers!
I can't believe we just blew through another week and September is here! What are your plans for Labor Day? Hosting or being hosted? Wardrobe wise, are you retiring your white outfits until memorial day weekend rolls around or are you snobbing the unspoken rules of fashion and hugging your white ensembles even tighter? I say that 'no white after Labor day' belief went right out the door a long long long time ago and I will don my whites whenever I feel like it. Both crisp whites and warmer Winter whites. In my book, wearing white is a year round trend.

Welcome back FI readers!

So I was carded today when I stopped at the store to pick up some wine. Whaaattt!!! I thought it was super funny and a joke. But he insisted and I showed my id. The whole time I was thinking dude, I’m old enough to be your mom, don’t be fooled by the lipstick. Hehe. Like my good friend said, it’s a great problem to have. But what if you don’t have your id on you?

The Color of my Life

"When in doubt, wear red” 
- Bill Blass

"The single most dynamic and passionate color, symbolizes love, rage and courage. Demanding attention, red has great emotional impact. Those who select red are aggressive, impulsive and strive for success. The desire to experience fullness of living leads to constant activity".

Welcome back FI readers!

It was another busy week. My poor kitty Azul went outdoors, got in a cat fight and was badly injured. So as you can imagine we've been in and out of the vet's office. He has a cast on his left arm and an E-collar around his neck. Honestly he just looks miserable. And his misery is almost contagious. My older kids are away but are constantly on face time with him. Hopefully the cast comes off soon and he is 100% again. Poor thing, :(.

Anyways, timeless styling and a classic red color lend an air of elegance to this great skirt suit, the perfect pulled together look for a gal in a hurry. Add some great shoes, minimal jewelry, a pair of dark sunnies, some stylish tights and you’re out the door in a flash. 

I discovered this impeccably tailored chic suit while cleaning out my closet. It has the perfect cut for shape and definition. The red and gold buttons add a touch of fun and speak to the age of it while the cut makes it ideal for pairing with skinny jeans or a killer pencil skirt. This piece is very chic, yet practical, making it perfect for daytime. I think it’s truly a testament to the ‘power chic’ of the 80’s jet set.

I love the mini, curve hugging not so matching skirt. Perfect length for the nude top of the super sexy tights to be in full view. A pair of ankle boots with a pop of print completed the look while a fox fur stole added interest.

"If I had my way, I’d wear jewelry, a great pair of heels and nothing else.”
 - Jada Pinkett Smith

Dare I add ‘I’d be draped in jewelry from head to toe.’ Like I say my love for statement jewelry is no longer a secret. Welcome back FI readers!

How has everyone been? So I got injured in a crash last week and all I wanted to do over last weekend was lay in bed. Didn’t get to go out and take pictures and for the first time I skipped posting. Had to take care of me but I’m better than ever and I’m back. Thanks so much for the calls, messages on iG and FB, texts. All that goodwill. Sheesh I am loved (dancing emoji)! Thank you darlings, I love you  right back.

How’s this necklace for a piece of jewelry? Did you just say ‘Now this is cute?” I heard that, hehe. Those who know me know that this is PERFECT for me. Huge thanks to Takai By Angela for another stunning piece. This multicolor Crystal necklace is as unique as it is beautiful. With different colored crystal pieces cascading down and finishing off in a beautiful V, beyond amazing! The tiered structure of this necklace worked beautifully with the slight V neckline of my camisole and like most bib necklaces added some dimension too. Need I say more? Lol...

But wait, if this stunner just got on your 'lust list' then you should head on over to Takai By Angela and treat yourself to one. Too bad you may not get it in time for mother’s day but knowing that this has been added to your arsenal makes it worth the wait. I promise, you’re going to be shaking things up with this lovely piece. I can just imagine how perfect the sparkly crystals will look with a LBD. Go make a statement, thank me later, ;).

The trending palazzo pants are easy to dress up or down. They’re perfect with sandals and great with heels. And don’t we all love a great versatile piece that’s perfect for both casual and formal use. These soft wool pants are elegant and flattering. It has this sportswear meet runway feel to it. I love the flat front effect thanks to the overlapping button closure that has a flattening effect on the stomach. So I wore my jacket open with confidence for a chic and effortless look. A crop top or even a tee works well with these pants as well.

Impeccable quality and so much attention to detail reign in this white blazer The slight peplum bottom creates a perfect silhouette while the 3 button detail, an unexpected and fun touch add some structure. And boy do I love structure! Other details like the chain closure and the faux pockets make this piece a wardrobe staple that will look just as fantastic paired with tailored pants, skinny jeans and even leggings as it did with the chic palazzo pants I paired it with.


How are you styling your wide leg pants? Your statement jewelry?
