A Thank You to May Advertisers

It is the end of the month, can you believe it?  At least the weather is starting to feel like June. This blog post is a shout out to my May advertisers and something new I will be doing at the end of every month.  I truly appreciate their support and encourage you to visit their sites:

I also wanted to mention that my blog isn't going through an identity crisis :)  If you have been reading it lately things might be changing right before your eyes.  I have been playing around with the layout and design the last few days.  I figure fashion is all about style and so a fashion blog really should have it's own style.


The look is still in the "creative process", but what do you think so far?  I would love to hear your feedback and to find out if there is something new you would like to see.

Oh-ahhhhhh, I Love the Smell of Napalm in the Morning

Yes, this is the military post. One of the falls hottest trends is a military look. Kind of appropriate when you think about it, some days just leaving your house feels like you are heading into a war zone.

I can’t say this is my favourite trend but I think done well it can give you a really current look. So how do you do a military look well? Pick one military piece and add on to that. If you go full out with every piece military and camouflage you might cause a scare in the office. I can hear it now… “Is she going postal?”, “Are we under attack?”, “Do I need to build a bomb shelter?”

On my search I didn’t find a lot of selection but I have a feeling there will be more options available as fall merchandise arrives. Here are some items I did find as well as an example of how to wear a casual military look:
