The last Wednesday of September is National Women’s Health and Fitness Day. Women like to talk about fashion. So much so, that I’ve noticed a lot of women are passionate about their fashion, but I wonder if we’re as meticulous about our health. How often do you discuss well-being? Is it only when a health crisis […]
It’s official! Friday, September 22 marks the first day of autumn and I’m easing into the new season with Soft Surroundings, a women’s clothing line offers stylish, luxurious, and comfortable women’s pieces for every size. Today, I am wearing an elegant silk convertible tunic top and cami and with white 5-pocket leggings from the brand. […]
It’s the middle of September, which means it’s time to celebrate my birthday.

It is easy to slide into cooler weather with these polka dot snake print heeled go-go booties from ASOS. After I read Cherie James’s blog, Style Nudge’s, Shoe and Tell post on the white ankle […]
