However, I also believe that going completely against the grain, doing what feels right to the wearer and his or her own personal style, produces outfits that are one of a kind. I’ve rounded up…
How To Shop For Clothes Over the last few years, I typically only go shopping for clothes when I need something specific. If I have some place to go, a trip or an occasion coming up that requires something new, I head out to my favorite stores in search of the perfect item.

First Time Using Formulate Let’s talk shampoo and conditioner for a sec. Recently, the Formulate content team reached out to me to try their personalized shampoo and conditioner.

Surprising, right? (Look 1 of 2. See look 2 here.) Quite some years ago, I bought a pair of vintage Levi’s cut off denim shorts in New York. I loved them so much upon purchase but now, they are probably a size or two,…
Sophisticated Summer Outfit Look number 2 wearing the Levi’s Wedgie Fit Straight Jeans includes just a tad bit more sophistication compared to look 1.

This outfit is still casual, however adding the boots and dark colored blouse allow for evening flexibility. “The Cheekiest Jeans” The Levi’s website describes the Wedgie Fit Straight Jeans as “the cheekiest jeans in your closet” and I would…
Whether it’s Father’s Day, Christmas, or his Birthday, finding just the perfect gift for him can be really challenging. Over the last few years I have done my best to get my fiancé R.C. gifts that he will actually use and enjoy. In order to do that, I had to think of all the things that I KNOW he loves, and possibly get something similar or hopefully better! I also had a chat with him to see from his perspective…
Over time, I have had the pleasure of helping a few lovely folks with some closet organizing. Understandably, sometimes going through clothing that has piled up over the years can be overwhelming!
