What to Wear When it's Summer Weather in the Winter

Happy Washington's Birthday,  National Margarita Day and Full Moon!  Who knew February 22 was such a party day? LOL  Hope everyone had a great weekend.  Ours was busy but good. Quality time with loved ones always makes the days good, regardless of the activities.  For some reason my son woke up at 5:45a on Saturday morning (then slept in until 6:45 today, go figure) so my weekend started early.  We got out of the house early to get the car washed (our car came with free car washes for life when we bought it a little over a year ago) only to find out that the dealer has cancelled that perk due to the California drought.

The Perfect Swimsuit - thanks to Target

The Perfect Swimsuit - thanks to Target

Alright, who's ready for swimsuit season?! LOL, I know, what am I talking about, right?  It's still freezing around the country (in SoCal, "freezing" = 50 degrees.)  And we're all still kicking our New Years fitness resolutions into gear.  No one feels they're in "swimsuit shape" in February.  But that's exactly the point of Target's #NOFOMO campaign.  It stands for "No Fear of Missing Out" and encourages women (anyone, really) to get out there an enjoy what life has to offer, and not let your insecurities hold you back.  We should not miss out on opportunities/activities/invitations because we aren't "swimsuit" ready.

How to Wear a Dress as a Top

Happy Hump Day everyone.  Hope everyone is doing well.  We've been dealing with some seasons cold/sinus issues in our house lately.   My little dude has had a sinus cold for the past week+, and has had a steady daily flow running from his nose, and also post nasal drip giving him a very wet cough (TMI? ;) #momlife, LOL)  Then I was hit by something - maybe the same thing? - that had me out with a fever for day, and now I am having sinus issues and a sore throat.  'Tis the season, I guess.

When I was a kid, the channel AMC (now home to original programming like "The Walking Dead") was known for playing classic oldie movies (after all, "AMC" stands for American Movie Classics). Being the cinema lover that I was, I loved watching the old Katherine Hepburn and Jimmy Stewart and John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara films.  There's just something about those Hollywood golden years, and the beautiful, feminine style of the 40's and 50's.  I always loved the women in their dresses (although I didn't envy the girdles you know they were wearing underneath to get their trim little waists.)

You Found Me in a Blue Maxi

Hello there! I've been MIA lately, I know, I'm sorry.  I had a little post-holiday productivity slump, and the weather and my schedule were not cooperating to get any images taken. We needed the rain, but it makes shooting outside a bit difficult.  But now I'm back!
