Boho with the Fab 40s
I’m not really what you’d call a fashion or style blogger, I’m more of a “so this morning I was thinking about this or that and I decided to write about it blogger”, so I was thrilled beyond belief when Jennie from A Pocketful of Polka Dots asked me to join her and the rest of the Fab 40s ladies for this month’s challenge: Bohemian. My personal style definitely leans towards the eclectic. I grew up in Italy and have lived all over the United States, so my fashion sense reflects those influences.

Shopping in NEPA: the Bare Accessories
People are always asking me about my jewelry, they want to know where I bought it or who made it or if they can get something similar. Â I always tell them “Yes!” and then I proceed to tell them exactly where I purchased each piece, how much I paid for it and who they should talk to when they get to the store. Â I especially love doing this with small, locally owned businesses ~ when you buy local, you help your community. Anyway, about a month ago, Miss 16 and I were shopping for accessories for her prom dress when we stumbled across a lovely little store at the Shoppes…
