Boom! Pow! Wow!

November 7, 2013 by robincharmagne 6 Comments

The Details
Here!

Hey pretties,
Almost the weekend, you know I had to tell ya’! I just love this trend. It is so fun and quirky! It’s based on campy television shows like the old Batman and Robin series where POW or BOOM popped up on the screen in those ridiculously scripted fight scenes. Yeah I know, some of you are too young to remember…LOL! I would definitely wear this trend with of course my favorite, boyfriend jeans and maybe add a biker jacket to make it more edgy. And remember you can always dip your toe in a new trend by wearing just hints of it, such as the ring or the socks.

Remember I told y’all about the wildly popular and successful 3.1 Phillip Lim Collection at Target. The boom sweatshirt was one of the most popular items, guess what…wait for it… it’s $20.98, Boom! It’s totally OK to have something unexpected in your wardrobe.

Do you have something fun in your closet?

Enter the Holiday Giveaway and getcha some POW or BOOM or hey both. Enter with the Rafflecopter!

The Details:
Sweater (Walmart) – here
Shirt (old) – similar here
Jeans (Macy’s) – here
Boots(old)- similar here
Handbag (T.J. Maxx) – similar here
Bracelets (old) – similar here
Watch (Coach) – similar here

Hey Pretties,
I should have titled this post blurred lines, it’s a bit blurry, bear with me. Like many ladies, I lean toward black a lot in my wardrobe. But this blue sweater called out to me. Love the v-neck and high/low hem, perfect for layering. Adding color can be scary but in small doses adds some spice to an outfit. The blue in this sweater is Mykonos Blue a Pantone Fall Color. Pantone is the organization that selects the color of the year for not only fashion, but across all industries.

Pantone describes this color as “…a bold, meditative blue, for a classic and relaxed fall look.” Describes this layered black and blue fall look perfectly.

What fall colors are you adding to your wardrobe?

Unplugged

November 4, 2013 by robincharmagne 6 Comments

Hello Pretty Ones,
Did you have a good weekend? I sure hope so! I had a blast hanging out in the Blue Ridge Mountains with a bunch of girlfriends. The “cabin trip” as we fondly call it is our almost annual event where we pack up and head for the mountains with no agenda except, talk, laugh, eat, sleep, repeat. These ladies are very dear friends that I’ve known for 10+ years and we take time out to catch-up and relax. The mountains provide a great back drop for chillaxin, one of my favorite pastimes.

The fall foliage was really beautiful and the setting serene and peaceful. I had some fun firsts on this trip – roasting marshmallows and playing Scattergories. Two thumbs up for both. But the biggest first was not using my cellphone for a whole weekend! Yep, unplugged with no cellphone service so – no calls, texts, or posts to Facebook or Instagram. Unplugged! I admit for the first few hours, I really missed my cellphone but not having it allowed me to focus more on fellowship than on status updates and photo opps. It would be a good exercise to unplug on a regular basis and use that time to nurture and strengthen all of my relationships. Seriously thinking about unplugging at least once a quarter! I’m recharged and refreshed ready for the start of the holiday season and another work week. Blessed and Thankful!

Have you ever just unplugged from all technology? Or would even do it?

Skirt(old) – similar here
Shoes (T.J. Maxx) – sold here too

If you follow me on Pinterest, you know I love peplum. The pearl and sequin detail in this top is so very feminine and girly and at under 50 bucks it was a fashion do! Every woman needs a pencil skirt in her wardrobe – slimming and sexy. I like comfy heels and these fit the bill with the t-strap detail. A simple, yet sleek satin clutch is just enough to complement the detail of the peplum. And, dainty, ladylike earrings and bracelet to finish off my blogoversary look.

Yak Pak And A Giveaway

September 3, 2013 by robincharmagne 8 Comments

Hello Pretties,

Disclosure: I received a complimentary product to review. Please note that all opinions are 100% my own and I only accept sponsors and products that fit this blog.

Did you enjoy the Labor Day Holiday? Catch any good sales? Believe it or not, I didn’t buy one thing over the holiday weekend. But if I did, a handbag would be my first choice. I posted about my love of handbags and I was thrilled when the lovely folks at Yak Pak sent me a very pretty tote to review. Yak Pak, a New-York based lifestyle brand, started in 1989 and produces an array of accessories including backpacks, messenger bags and casual accessories. They are regarded as industry leaders in providing bold and forward thinking designs and styles for their accessory line. I chose the travel tote.

In Orange, Black and Pink, with a hint of Gold Metallic

Really deep to hold all your essentials

Deep pocket perfect for holding valuables

Logo, fabric closeup, and logo tag

I really loved the vibrant colors in this tote and the deep center pocket that closes like a purse. The size and weight of the tote is perfect for traveling. The deep inside pocket provides easy access for all my essentials, e. g. cell phone, makeup case, wallet, keys, checkbook. Yep, this tote held all of those things I don’t leave the house without. For travel, I would not be concerned at all about theft with the deep pocket, so I would also put my camera and foreign currency in there as well. And, most important, this tote is constructed nicely and is high quality. The vinyl makes it super easy to clean! I would only add one feature to this tote and that is an inside zip pocket. I enjoyed carrying this tote and look forward to using it for upcoming travel.

Now guess what? The kind folks at Yak Pak are offering you a free accessory. Use the Rafflecopter tool to enter! Good Luck!

What I Wore- Hair Edition

August 7, 2013 by robincharmagne 4 Comments

Hello pretty ones,
It’s Hump Day as they say! Never liked that phrase, so I’ll rephrase and say it’s mid-week, two more days until the weekend! Yeah I know I just came back from vacay, but I swear it feels like a distant memory. Today I’m swapping the OOTD for What I Wore – Hair Edition. This post is inspired by InStyle Mag’s Transformation series where we see our favorite celebs hair transformation over the years. Here’s one of the best, Kerry Washington.

Image via

This girl’s cheek bones are the truth, always looking feminine and sexy. How does she do it! I love her many hair transformations but these three really work; highlighting her natural beauty, especially those eyes. Did you know Kerry was a Phi Beta Kappa grad? Beauty and brains, gotta love it! Sometimes it’s so boring to wear the same style over and over so we change our hair for a specific occasion or season. Here’s a peek at my transformations this year!

Hair is an accessory and can make or break an outfit, as you lovelies already know. It’s fun to spice it up from time to time.

Do you change your hairstyle often? Do you experiment with color, wigs or hair extensions?
