The last Wednesday of September is National Women’s Health and Fitness Day. Women like to talk about fashion.

It’s official! Friday, September 22, marks the first day of autumn.

Today, I am wearing an elegant silk convertible tunic top, cami, and white 5-pocket leggings from the brand. The clothing company […]
It’s the middle of September, which means it’s time to celebrate my birthday.

These polka dot snake print heeled go-go booties from ASOS make it easy to slide into cooler weather. After reading Cherie James’s blog, Style Nudge’s Shoe and Tell post […]
