Hello Pretties,
Well you know I can’t talk about anything today except season three of Scandal. Yesss! Olivia Pope and the gladiators are back for more juiciness! But of course we have to talk about the fashion and I’ll keep you posted on the fab fashion for this season. The show’s amazingly talented costume designer is Lyn Paolo who is keeping the neutral palette and elegant, classic style for Olivia and using one of my favorite accessories the opera glove. In an interview with Harper’s Bazaar, Ms. Paolo said, “We started playing with opera-length gloves and I’m still a little obsessed with gloves. It’s a sad obsession. Kerry teases me about it. I like clean elegance.”

I love that opera gloves are good for day or night depending up the fabric. Your wools and leathers for day and your satins and cottons for night. Perfect complement to casual and formal looks.

I’m so excited to see what designer duds Olivia dons this season from the jewelry and handbags, and oh those coats and this season, the cape coat, oh yeah!

Are you trying a new accessory for the Fall season?

Get your snacks ready for a great night of TV lovelies!

My First OOTD – Emerald and Black

by 24 Comments

Hello Pretties,
OK, today is my first OOTD (Outfit of the Day) post. In these posts, bloggers “model” current fashion trends anything from skinny jeans, florals, graphic sweaters, to camouflage, gladiator sandals, you name the trend and you will find a blogger wearing it in an OOTD. After 5 months of blogging, I figured it was time for me to jump in! So today, I’m on the catwalk in Emerald Green and Black! I betta werk!

Pants(old) – Lane Bryant
Boots(old) – HSN
Purse(old) – Kate Spade
Jewelry – Charming Charlie

Whew, that wasn’t so bad! Stepped out of my comfort zone into the spotlight. I’m much more comfortable researching the latest trends or sharing a DIY project. Growth occurs when we stretch ourselves just a little bit outside of what’s easy or what comes natural to us. But I have to admit, it was a ton of fun! I may just do it again!

How are you stepping out of your comfort zone? Did I werk it?

My everyday bag is the lovely Kristen. It’s by Coach whose bags I love, the quality is excellent and styling always on trend. This is a pretty big bag for me but I like that it holds all my stuff and it’s a shoulder strap so I can carry on my arm or as a crossbody.

5)Jergens lotion – Tried and true with a fresh scent
