Transitional Fashion: Fall Florals

We are hot on the topic of transitional clothing since we are just weeks away from the official or unofficial start of fall. You could say we are transitionally obsessed and fashionably impatient. Why? We get it’s hard to handle those warm fall days that turn into crisp fall evenings and we’re dying to break out the newest fall trends. Yet these days between summer and fall are really impossible to navigate. So we are here to help. One big trend for Fall ’16 is florals and since you can find them in pretty much every fabric, you can grab a few lighter pieces now. The trick is to stick with a darker background and color palette to make those flowers pop and look fall appropriate. Look for sheers, short sleeves and lighter fabrics like silk

The Recap And Fashion Drama of The RHONY Season 8: Ep 20 Finale

Finally it’s the finale of the Real Housewives of New York and my mom is hooked. She is still horrified, but slightly hooked. “These women are so pathetic.” I agree but explain there is little real about reality TV and that they are laughing all the way to the bank.

The Casual Shoe You Will Want This Fall

A friend of mine pointed out this trend to me and since she is my age and really wants a pair I did some research. Fringe high top sneakers are the jam for Fall ’16! If you are a fan of fringe and high tops, well…you need to get a pair! No, you are not too old. As long as you keep the rest of your outfit simple and make them the focal point. A simple pair of jeans and a tee will do

The Recap And Fashion Drama of The RHONY Season 8: Ep 19

So, um, here’s the deal. I’m on vacation this week (and next) and don’t have access to a DVR (which helps me get the quotes in my lengthy Real Housewives Of New York City recaps). Therefore we are going to try something new. I am going to wing it! I am watching the show in real time and just pray I can keep up! This may or may not work, especially since my mother is sitting next to me and I expect her to say, “What’s going on? What did she say? What’s wrong with these people? You watch this crap?” She just asked me to turn up the volume. I’m screwed
