My Hardest Working Transitional Piece

My Hardest Working Transitional Piece

I've found the perfect summer/fall transitional piece — a black loose fitting Mango jumpsuit. It’s an accident that I even have this jumpsuit. Originally, I found it on Poshmark for my youngest daughter. But when it got here,  I knew it was way too big for her. Thinking that I might alter it, I tried [...]

Artful Creations

I’ve made a few pieces of jewelry. When I find some beads I like, I string them together. Of course, I know about jump rings, crimp beads and own a few tools. So I guess I'm a stringer, not a true jewelry designer--which is why I really respect the creative ladies behind Kansas City's Artful [...]

Turquoise, coral, orange with a little brown and golden tan: these colors evoke clear skies, desert, sun and heat. Add a bit of turquoise jewelry and I feel an American southwestern vibe. This look wasn’t instant but fell together one element at a time. The Dress The Rachel Kate lined chiffon dress is from a [...]
