    ABOUT STYLE IMITATING ART Style Imitating Art is hosted by Salazar {14 Shades of Gray}, Kim {Fierce Fashion Blog}, and me. Style Imitating Art challenges us to draw style inspiration from pieces of art. Every other Monday one of us selects an inspiration image and we each post the image on our blogs. The following Monday we share our art inspired outfit. My main tip for participating is not to just look at the colors but look at the textures, think about complimentary colors, etc. In other words, you don’t have to be literal in your interpretation. It’s all about looking at the items in your closet in new and creative ways…

Hi, how are you? I’m doing well. It’s been a long week and it’s only Wednesday. A few weeks ago, I became the part-time social media coordinator at my college and I’ve been doing a lot of traveling {you can see some of the photos that I took here, here, and here}. I’m not complaining because I’m happy to have the opportunity to do something I enjoy, but there’s also a lot to learn. Doing social media…

    My Home Office

    2 April 2019 / 0 Comments

    When we first moved to our new house, I’d planned to make my office upstairs but Squeekerz had other ideas. He’ll be 18 this year and going up and down the stairs is incredibly difficult for him. For the first few months, I carried him upstairs whenever I needed to work, but – if you follow me on Instagram, then you know – Squeekerz HATES being picked up. So I talked to The Hubs and asked if he’d mind if I turned our entry way aka Squeekerz’s bedroom into my office and he was game. So this is it… I placed my desk in front of that window for a…

THE AGELESS STYLE LINKUP Hi, welcome to the Ageless Style Linkup. The linkup runs the first Tuesday of each month and features 10 women over the age of 40 styling an outfit based on one theme, and, because we’re all so different, each theme interpretation is different. Each month, one of the co-hosts invites a guest co-host to join us for the linkup. Our goal is to show you that style is ageless… This month’s theme is: “Living Coral” or “Pressed…
