Happy National High Heels Day! Today is a fun day when we can celebrate our high heels! This is also an excuse to wear those high heels sitting in our closets collecting dust. Love that!

While kitten heels are taking over the footwear world at the moment, high heels are still relevant and timeless. After all, how else can be make our legs looks longer, and appear taller than we are? That’s right! High heels!

This pair of high heels I am featuring in this post, are my current obsession. They have arch support and are easy to stand and walk in all day long. This is important in case we wear high heels to the office, or for a long event. Comfort and high heels in the same breath? Yes please!

So, in order to celebrate National High Heels Day, put on your favorite high heels and rock them all day long! This is also a fabulous day to shop for a new pair of high heels to add to your collection. After all, a girl can never have enough shoes. Love that!

Thanks for stopping by, and have fun in your high heels today!

There are times when I need to wear a professional, business casual outfit, and not jeans. I was so happy to find these wide leg pants in petite sizing! As you know, alterations can add up and delay adding a piece to your wardrobe. When pants are available in petite sizes, it makes life so easy! Plus, the pants fit out of the box, love that!

Sometimes I like to wear all black when dressing for an event or professionally. There is something simple and chic about an all-black look. I love these petite wide leg pants in black, they are perfect for an office setting as well as evening events, or daytime events when I want an alternate to jeans. I mean, black pants are as versatile as jeans!

This black sweater is also a go-to in my spring wardrobe. Seriously, I can wear it with office attire, a skirt (there is a matching one!), and jeans. A black spring sweater is just like a little black dress, there is always an occasion to wear it! Love that!

I wore this outfit to the Broadway San Jose launch party. It was comfortable for walking, standing and sitting. It also Broadway show appropriate. Love!

So, if you are looking for petite wide leg pants, this is the pair! They are also available in regular and tall sizes.

Thanks for stopping by!

Summer tote bags 2023

Summer tote bags: mint green tote (under $500) / grey tote / small straw tote / structured tote / striped tote / boho tote /

Summer is fast approaching, and it is a time of year when a tote bag comes in handy. We use totes for travel, carrying extra items such as sunscreen, a hat, and a scarf for when the fog rolls in. There are different types of totes for different outfits and occasions, so I tried to pick one fabulous tote to suit every summertime need.

Slouchy and casual totes such as the mint tote, grey tote, and boho tote pictured above, are perfect for everyday use. If you are looking for a great work tote, the structured tote pictured at the bottom is ideal. This stripe tote is perfect for travel and hanging out in a beach town. If you are looking for something a little bit smaller, this classic straw tote is perfect. I own it!

This summer season, look for a strong tote made from high quality materials which doesn’t flash a loud logo. I excuse the Tory Burch logo because it looks more like a design than a logo and to be frank, it’s really cool! Love it!
