Fab fashion...inspiration...

Time for a little change of pace!  I love fashion and thought I would share a couple of items from two European brands that are so chic, there is something for everyone, especially petites, which is what I am.  I have trouble finding clothes that fit me properly and usually find the petite sections are woefully short of chic clothes as compared to regular sizes.  I can wear some regular size shirts, but, trousers, coats, bathing suits and sweaters usually have to be cut in a petite size.  I included a couple of handbags, because, well,  I LOVE LOVE handbags as I'm sure you do too. 

How do you find your clothing?  I also find sizes vary from brand to brand, which is apparently normal.  One reason I love Chico's is that you can buy your sizes in 1, 2 or 3!! How great is that?  Let me know any shopping secrets you may have, I would love to hear!

What's not to love about...WHITE?

For any skeptics out there who are hesitant about using white in design, here are some examples to prove just how versatile and truly neutral white is.  White will make any color pop, white can add texture and add sheer chic to any design. I love looking at these, I find it very calming and soothing as well - great to come home to after a busy day of work.  What do you love or dislike about white? Would you design around an all white room?

Shabby + chic = gorgeous

Are you at a loss as to where to put that shabby and worn out dresser, table, chair or bureau?  Well, look no further than these pics showing a piece of shabby furniture in rooms with different aesthetics. The look of these worn items mixed in with other pieces is fabulous and timeless. Its such a classic look that you can experiment with and see how it fits. These pics are from one of my favorite boards on PINTEREST - are you following me there yet? Do you love?

Each piece is unique and looks so right - I especially love this

kitchen cupboard - just the right amount of paint is gone.

Have a great rest of the weekend! Hope you are inspired to 

start a new project!

Is your home exactly how you like it?

As fall is quickly approaching, I am offering my decorating services. If

Dear Santa...xx

Well, I guess I can't deny its time to start hinting or just plain asking for what I want for Christmas...here, just a couple of items...what about you? all set? Wow, I just noticed my trend in whites!

Hey, I need to keep warm in New England! Love this beautiful winter white coat...

This is just a great layering item to wear anytime, goes with anything...

This is my number two pick above - a more stylish version of an Irish Fisherman's sweater...

Number one on my list - love the colors - they remind me of my little Scottish cap I had when I was little...

Do you have your list made? Happy Tuesday!

The white shirt...

The cool white shirt...This classic never goes out of style...it is a bright alternative to black and looks good on everyone. I like wearing silver or turquoise with it. Do you own a white shirt? Do you dress it up or down with jeans? If you don't own this classic, why not add it to your wardrobe for a new look?  Have a great Tuesday!
