It’s Always Cold on NYE
I am still in full holiday mode. If it doesn’t consist of drinking eggnog, eating cookies, and looking at my Christmas tree you can count me out. I did want to step out of my holiday hangover and offer some New Year’s Eve style inspiration. In my experience, it’s always freezing cold on New Year’s…

Personal Style Uniform | Wize Style Wednesday
I know you may be wondering what is a personal uniform? A personal uniform is a go-to look. In school the thought of wearing a uniform made me cringe. As an adult, I can see how knowing exactly what you are going to wear makes your life so much easier. I wanted to embrace the concept…

Wize Style Wednesday | How to a Wear Patent Leather Jacket
Do you think P. Diddy when you see a shiny patent leather jacket? It’s ok, (even though I was fond of the shiny suits) patent leather isn’t as intimidating as you think. Patent leather is going to be everywhere for the fall/winter season. I’m sure a shiny jacket was not on you fall wardrobe wish list but…
