Sparkle and Style

Hey Friends!

We seem to have made it to another Monday. Me? Barely. A stomach bug tried to take my whole house out last week but here I am recovered and here to talk about two very fun topics.

First and most importantly…

Happy Prosecco Week!

One of my most favorite things to drink is this bubbly masterpiece and I’ve partnered with Freixenet Prosecco to bring you some amazing bubbly content. In honor of this fabulous week, I’m bringing you three fast facts about this sparkly sip.

1. The name “Prosecco” is actually Slovenian and it means “path through the woods” which is the only reason you see this girl in the woods…

2. The original Bellini recipe called for Prosecco not Champagne (still love you, Champs!).

3. Most Prosecco is fermented in big steel tanks. This helps with less sediment and also helps with the cost. Along with both of those things the Tank Method is great because its such a clean way to make it that you can really taste the flavors and aromas.

   So now you might know a little more than you did about Prosecco and maybe go pick yourself up a bottle or two to spice up this Monday! Might I suggest Freixenet which is always my choice. Like Champagne or Rosé better? They have that too!

Don’t get me wrong I love Summer but come July I start shopping for all things Fall and I start my yearly Fall Fashion post. In all of the almost eight years that I’ve been blogging this is the post I spend the most time on and it’s anything but ..fast.

While I start working on that, I thought I’d bring you two trends that you can rock right now. One of these are most definitely on my Fall Fashion list.

Matching Sets

Bonus points for floral. Head to toe floral was huge this year on the runways for Spring and Summer 2021. I know, I know, “Florals for Spring? Ground breaking.” But this is a great fresh look that I simply love.

A BoyFriend Blazer with a Bra Top

Both a Boyfriend Blazer and Bra Top were a trend for Spring and Summer and will absolutely continue into the Fall. It’s an easy and very chic look. You can throw this outfit together in minutes and look so polished.

I hope your Monday is short and ends with some delicious chilled Prosecco!

Fawning Over Underthings

Happy Valentine’s Week!

Usually this is the post I reserve for this time of year to talk all about skivvies. A favorite topic of mine. On this fine Tuesday, I’m talking about three pieces you should have in your lingerie collection.

1. A perfect well fitting bodysuit in a neutral color that goes with everything.

   For me, it’s a black one. I have a ton. Wearing them under a blazer if my favorite look but you can also wear it with a blouse or just under a cozy cropped sweatshirt.

2. The perfect set. Matching bra and undies.

For me, few things make me feel like I have my act together than this. The foundation of a good outfit. Even if you’re the only one who sees it.

3. Shape wear!

Ok we don’t need a photo of this one. It’s is not so sexy however it makes so much of a difference! Invest in it. Wear it. A smooth look will always look better no matter what your size. I love my shape wear slips for dresses.

Now go out there and seize the day!

Even if it’s a Tuesday (I’m not a fan of them)…

Staying Toasty

HAPPY DECEMBER FRIENDS!!

I thought it would be the perfect time to share my favorite no-fail coats that get me through the colder season. Especially since it snowed in my neck of the woods! Perfect way to start December!

1. The Teddy Coat

Talk about cozy. This one is sooo soft and the perfect color. It goes with everything without sacrificing style and comfort. I always say to add a Teddy Coat to your collection whether it’s short of long, it’s always a good one to pull out.

2. Faux Fur

This is my all time favorite coat! I’m obsessed and honestly this is the one I wear the most. I have a long black one, burgundy, and bubble gum pink. These coats are my favorite part of cold weather!

3. The Moto Jacket

Obviously mine is green. But this is what I grab when I’m very casual and running errands. Perfect with flats, sneakers, or boots for when you’re needing to move fast and get past the dreaded slow walkers. Seriously, pick up the pace people Mama needs to grocery shop.

Enjoy the snowy day everyone!

Stay warm!
