Two-in-One Ruffles

Igigi has a lot of new dresses being released this month. I absolutely love this Georgia “Two-in-One” Dress. It looks like two pieces but is actually one. The ruffled neckline and Dolman sleeves are a flattering change. And pencil skirts are so classic and sexy. This baby comes in sizes 12 – 30 for...

The Women’s Fedora

I use to love my grandfather’s fedora. I always thought he looked so dashing. Whenever he wasn’t in it I was trying to get my hands on it. To no avail. I would even go so far as to say that fedoras are one of the reasons I like old movies. Hello, Cary Grant!...

In the Zoo or on a bag, I love giraffes. Baghaus unveiled this new arrival last week and I luv/love it. It’s called a duffle but it’s 17″ L x 7″ W x 9.5″ H and in my opinion passes for a large awesome bag. The print is sensational on this bag and it’s...

I like interesting features that attract the eye; designs or cuts that are extraordinary. I found two black dresses that fit the bill at Lane Bryant this morning. Talk about adding flare to the little black dress. And both dresses are machine washable. Embellished Sleeveless Dress – It’s not he beads on this dress...
