I did laugh some because of it's cheesiness but was intrigued with the idea. At Willows we sell jeggings (jean and legging combo) like most clothing stores right now. It's a current trend I love. Anyway, the idea of a woman riding a bike while wearing <a href="http://www.pajamajeans.com/flare/next">PajamaJeans</a> cracked me up. </div><div style="text-align: center;">I do like a challenge and thought why not order a pair and see if I could style them to wear out to dinner with my husband. I ordered them a month and a half ago and just received them 4 days ago. I almost forgot about them and was pleasantly surprised when they arrived. Oh, what to do with them. </div><div style="text-align: center;">My husband got the privilege of photographing my back side and I did a lot of editing (ha, ha). The fabric is definitely not your premium denim and as you can see in the second photo it's really not flattering. I'm almost 5'9'' so the length was a bit too short to wear with heels. Maybe a nice ballet flat would work better. </div><div style="text-align: center;">As far as the comfort level, I rate them a 10 for sure. The fabric stretched nicely and really felt like I could sleep in them. As the day stretched on, so did the pants. I would definitely size down. Sweatpants are what they remind me of. If you are looking for stylish jeans to dress up, I'm not sure if these are what you're looking for. My husband was surprised I wore them to dinner (Five Guys). Oh, I wore them all right, with my favorite <a href="http://www.alternativeapparel.com/Consumer.aspx?W=0">Alternative Apparel</a> sweatshirt and <a href="http://www.sperrytopsider.com/">Sperry</a> boat shoes. Yes, PajamaJeans are the perfect pant for going out for a casual dinner or possibly taking a bike ride with the kids. It's getting late, do I dare wear them to bed? </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAluWE2Mi7-NMt2v8_DGngKfoRLn9T70xDGiPaEJwsrPEmqv_kxAciKOPly6e29O_FKioCKyo2zVFk1WPT026t8bQkYSMMTRVJ3N9NVtZW0QmJYExtBzGMxJfXmz_TVZ54c8oJlIM5aZo/s1600/DSC_0929.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAluWE2Mi7-NMt2v8_DGngKfoRLn9T70xDGiPaEJwsrPEmqv_kxAciKOPly6e29O_FKioCKyo2zVFk1WPT026t8bQkYSMMTRVJ3N9NVtZW0QmJYExtBzGMxJfXmz_TVZ54c8oJlIM5aZo/s640/DSC_0929.JPG" width="428" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</tbody></table>I had a very full "Mommy" list today. However, a little shift in plans, and now I have feathers in my hair, which make me quite happy. I dropped my oldest daughter off at school and took my youngest to a tea party at her preschool. Once I ate a couple of yummy scones, made a pretty paper hat and sang at chapel, I was able to change my blue, flowery hat for my fuzzy, charcoal one for running. <br />
Upon leaving preschool, a quick text to Wendy and we were able to get a short 5 mile run in before I had to pick Ava back up. It was freezing cold this morning. My lungs hurt until mile 3 and once we were done, my ears ached. While on the run, Wendy started talking about these cool feathers her daughter wore in her hair to a dance last weekend. I remembered seeing pictures on Facebook and how pretty they looked with her dress. My mind started thinking and thought maybe I need a new, Spring accessory. So, I made another item on my <span style="background-color: yellow;">TO-DO</span> list and scheduled my appt. at <a href="http://www.studio-162.com/">Studio 162</a>. <br />
<br />
Sweating profusely, I jumped in the car, grabbed Ava and drove home. I had an hour to make lunch, take a shower and be at the salon. By the way, Wendy is not only my friend and running buddy, she is also my one and only hair colorist. She's colored my hair for almost 20 years and really is the BEST at color. When I ran upstairs to get Ava, she was in her bed watching a movie with of course no shoes. "GET YOUR SHOES ON, WE ARE GOING TO BE LATE!" Never expect your 5 year old to HURRY. Plus, Lucy our bassett hound needed to go outside before we left. GREAT. By the time I made it to Studio 162 I was a few minutes late but not too late. <br />
<br />
As you can tell by the pictures, I didn't pick very bold colors. I wanted something I could match with all my other accessories I wear during the day. These colors are perfect. The brightest one is a light aqua color and the rest our white, taupe and brown. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.conditionculture.com/">Featherlocks</a> can be styled many ways. A beach look with wind blown hair, t-shirt, jeans and some aviator sunglasses would be my choice but also can be dramatic with straightened hair and dressed up for a night out. Try a pony tail, striped tank, jeans and a wedge for a sporty look. It's the perfect accessory for a vacation. Why not try it, they can be washed and even curled with a curling iron. <br />
<br />
I frantically jumped out of my seat once I was done and said thank you to Wendy. I was headed out again to see my oldest daugther's skit she was going to be in at school. We made it on time and was actually glad to sit and relax a little. I did wonder if anyone had noticed my hair while I was watching. Guess what, a mom sitting behind me tapped my shoulder and said she couldn't stop staring at my cool hair. She loved it. Of course, I had a smile on my face as I was leaving. Unfortunately, the next stop was the grocery store.<br />

<div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>is growing rather quickly. Last week I scouted for a pair of shoes to GLAM UP. My thought was not to spend too much because I had know idea what the finish product would be. A size 6 aa was what I found in a heel by Stuart Weitzman. Four dollars was a great deal. Hannah, my daughter was in luck because they fit her perfectly. Guess she has a fun pair of dress up shoes to run around the house in. I'm working on another pair but this time in GOLD. Here's a sneak peek at them so far. </div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

My mind needed a little creative spark so I headed to the nearest vintage shop. Back in the days before I was a buyer for Willows I used to spend hours shopping. Now I no longer linger for hours. It doesn't mean I don't enjoy shopping but I've become very good at finding what I like FAST. The vintage store was a place of new interest for me. Jackets are my favorite piece of clothing to shop for. You can wear a solid tee, jeans or trousers and add a great colorful, or textured jacket to make the whole outfit POP. I styled it fairly simple and would probably add a couple long, gold necklaces and even a scarf. </div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1967717377037761112.post-16802970508114140842011-01-23T21:15:00.000-08:002011-01-23T21:15:27.772-08:00My Gold NIKE shoes<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKqD8dHKD4zaAFn2-d_BM4mn8sryziGr6lfFEBM0dGd44O43hM5AeKeGY4ITuIrhxUHkBYo0KPRT-oWhFE7XdV9wdY9MMRYqtTyYj3Qu8TAlamu42jj1fmsEPkuL2ld4kHNZ6iVUWPKos/s1600/DSC_0397.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKqD8dHKD4zaAFn2-d_BM4mn8sryziGr6lfFEBM0dGd44O43hM5AeKeGY4ITuIrhxUHkBYo0KPRT-oWhFE7XdV9wdY9MMRYqtTyYj3Qu8TAlamu42jj1fmsEPkuL2ld4kHNZ6iVUWPKos/s400/DSC_0397.jpg" width="267" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7I37ICfbKwAf2arLSx7GtXzLcitSGx6GzusEJJ8xdFIq3dJGs7W54AQ_tMrzaYgiZng8HktMfkBLQH9fShJ8xP24Nk-4F9SdmhIg3TRNYXN-B8_9BNFY4O7zsOTSnTki-MOPAZZKuvQ0/s1600/DSC_0396.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7I37ICfbKwAf2arLSx7GtXzLcitSGx6GzusEJJ8xdFIq3dJGs7W54AQ_tMrzaYgiZng8HktMfkBLQH9fShJ8xP24Nk-4F9SdmhIg3TRNYXN-B8_9BNFY4O7zsOTSnTki-MOPAZZKuvQ0/s400/DSC_0396.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7I37ICfbKwAf2arLSx7GtXzLcitSGx6GzusEJJ8xdFIq3dJGs7W54AQ_tMrzaYgiZng8HktMfkBLQH9fShJ8xP24Nk-4F9SdmhIg3TRNYXN-B8_9BNFY4O7zsOTSnTki-MOPAZZKuvQ0/s1600/DSC_0396.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a>These beautiful GOLD NIKE tennis shoes were bought for me as a birthday gift about 6 years ago. Growing up I always loved unique shoes. In the 4th grade I had a pair of cobalt blue rubber Keds with faux fur on the inside. Mr. Moss, my teacher always had some funny comment about them. Anyway, my Nikes really didn't get worn too much. At the time, I felt they were a little bright but maybe it was because of my huge size 10 foot. I decided to place them nicely in my closet. It wasn't until December that I found myself wearing them with my boyfriend jeans and NIKE zip up jacket. The trend for metallics keep getting stronger every year. I LOVE gold jewelry and now you can find it everywhere. Think twice before you get rid of something, you just might be ahead of the trend. </div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1967717377037761112.post-4492642097916827212011-01-20T23:35:00.000-08:002011-01-20T23:35:34.994-08:00My LA Trip<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">My mom and I headed down to LA for a Spring/Summer buying trip for Willows.

Kind of big but somehow I love them.

I knew they wouldn't let me down with their fantastic sense of fashion. They walked in wearing amazing accessories and POOF there was my inspiration. Just look how gorgeous my mom, Wendy, Merry and Alex are. A confident woman knows how to mix several pieces together. They didn't even plan the animal scarves. Animal print is so easy to wear and looks fabulous with black or brown. </div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">A special thanks to <a href="http://www.alamirportland.com/">Al-Amir Restaurant</a> in Portland, OR for making us feel special.

</div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;">I'm passionate about continuing my blog about STYLE and RUNNING. I'm thinking BIG for this blog including style workshops, video blogs, inspirational running stories, before and after pictures of women concurring their personal style challenges and much, much more. I took a needed break during this holiday season to concentrate on Willows, my other love. My goal is to continually challenge myself and take every opportunity to listen and learn. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;">Ever since I started running, I've had this intense need to set goals for myself and try new things. The marathon I completed last Summer was a good slap in the face to wake up my creative soul. I would love to inspire just one person to have that slap happen to them. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;">When running, I take the time to praise GOD for everything I have and ask for all the WISDOM and PATIENCE I can get. I tend to want things to happen overnight and undoubtedly get discouraged. The most important thing for me is FOCUS and open my heart and mind to endless possibilities. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;">I promised myself to go for the GOLD in all I do. If I don't get a medal at least I trained my hardest. </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444;"><br />

This happens a lot when things are tightly squeezed together. I try to purge every few months. My creative side is so much happier after my closet is cleaned. <br />

My husband would disagree with me about this but I don't have THAT many pairs of shoes/boots. I really don't. I am super hard on my shoes and really wear them out by the end of the year. I only have one new pair of boots this year which are EMU and I love them. The real key is to be able to shop for shoes that will withstand a few seasons and are comfortable. Ladies, don't buy shoes you can't stand to be in more than a few minutes. It is SO NOT WORTH IT. Just because they're expensive doesn't mean they will be comfy too. If you buy on line, read the comments. I've done this many times and it helps tremendously.<br />

I have about 3 loads of my laundry to clean and put away. Did you know you can find some strange things in your closet? Tonight I found my daughters two teeth she lost recently. What do I do with them? I guess they can stay in my jewelry box for now. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Focus on the current season when purging. If you can clean some old sweaters or boots out, it will free up some space for new Winter clothes. Most of my Summer is put away in a couple of drawers. Plus, this Summer was short in the Northwest, I didn't buy too many things.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Try to hang all your clothes in your closet. If you fold or put in a drawer they will be forgotten. The only things I don't hang are my workout clothes and lingerie. Even your jewelry will be worn more if the pieces are visible.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">On a more personal note, I have a few things that will never leave my closet. A bright striped robe hangs on my closet door greeting me every day. A reminder of my dad who died in March. Sometimes it brings me to tears but other times it just sits. I also have a few flannel shirts of his hanging proudly with my other clothes . I try not to think of them every time I'm in there but at times it's nice to remember him wearing them. Since tomorrow is Thanksgiving and in a few weeks will be Christmas, I will soon be thinking of him in his red plaid flannel shirts he loved. </div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1967717377037761112.post-21300740087352407922010-11-14T19:49:00.000-08:002010-11-14T21:43:46.333-08:00DIY Style for the Holidays<div style="margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;"></div><br />

I was pleased with my finish of 2hr7min. and beat my time from last year. I had the usual high afterwards and then the usual low a week later. I've been running for about 17 months now and completed 6 races. It's come to my attention this lack of motivation is becoming a normal thing for me after each race. I'm hoping it's a normal occurrence for others too. My next race isn't until next year but wonder if having one planned every month would be a good idea. Maybe a good motivator to keep on running. Or, is having all these races giving me anxiety? Not sure. Thank goodness Wendy and I ran today. A perfect sunny day to pass an hour away. It was a tough run and knew when I started I was going to struggle. It's funny, I can judge how the run is going to be by the first mile. I think because Wendy runs faster than me, I was struggling from the start with my lack of oxygen. By the end I was using one syllable words. Two cups of coffee shouldn't of been my only pre-run breakfast. However, I finished and felt so much better. So, for me it might just take a couple of weeks to get back to normal running. Although, I may put a small race on the calendar for December.</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1967717377037761112.post-56220523895520177642010-10-26T20:09:00.000-07:002010-10-26T20:09:26.487-07:00The Foldover Clutch - My NEW Accessory<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8EtgjyM_4fqkOb9gWmuGEwpXz5c3ZPtwfHZ8mz27upjZXKWGoQqljZyJlQ-LSSBUWF2rtbdpBNSyQQlh_nvMpkPaU4vkO-EPtR11ORU3tDCFzM1HMhFOtNdLKg-NnMNy4alrlmw4oYp4/s1600/DSC_0622.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="214" nx="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8EtgjyM_4fqkOb9gWmuGEwpXz5c3ZPtwfHZ8mz27upjZXKWGoQqljZyJlQ-LSSBUWF2rtbdpBNSyQQlh_nvMpkPaU4vkO-EPtR11ORU3tDCFzM1HMhFOtNdLKg-NnMNy4alrlmw4oYp4/s320/DSC_0622.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiCclcMQVbxgTqjB6Dg-jYA4DVXPB3KmPU3pMU5ex_uERRATYWfCs7EmfIp8J019Ur8rAceEqigEIcT53GkZbh4GVuEL1LEMG144FwT3QbyJAcmB7nHYL2evXMsHrbun9jkDb04KmE4Ak/s1600/DSC_0591.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" nx="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiCclcMQVbxgTqjB6Dg-jYA4DVXPB3KmPU3pMU5ex_uERRATYWfCs7EmfIp8J019Ur8rAceEqigEIcT53GkZbh4GVuEL1LEMG144FwT3QbyJAcmB7nHYL2evXMsHrbun9jkDb04KmE4Ak/s320/DSC_0591.JPG" width="214" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiculSUx1C13VOfkEz0rkmMrZ72QGC84G9pXieE5szpZJUWgyHcYow9yNwNB10q6cp-d2oU5OK5n6KxWZr_XjfKaqOBWEj0tMc5DM5aLJnEvv9ZLtr9P5IhMQn1UkNY3yTCpWf0N-S2YE/s1600/DSC_0621.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="214" nx="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiculSUx1C13VOfkEz0rkmMrZ72QGC84G9pXieE5szpZJUWgyHcYow9yNwNB10q6cp-d2oU5OK5n6KxWZr_XjfKaqOBWEj0tMc5DM5aLJnEvv9ZLtr9P5IhMQn1UkNY3yTCpWf0N-S2YE/s320/DSC_0621.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1967717377037761112.post-81290016531090938312010-10-24T21:21:00.000-07:002010-10-24T21:21:39.052-07:00Belts - From the Runway to Every Day.<div class="separator" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="200" nx="true" src="http://www.elle.com/var/ezflow_site/storage/images/elle/runway/ready-to-wear/fall-2010-rtw/diane-von-furstenberg/diane-von-furstenberg/diane-von-furstenberg-fall-2010-ready-to-wear-collection//diane-von-furstenberg-fall-rtw-2010-podium-003/4198515-1-eng-US/Diane-Von-Furstenberg-FALL-RTW-2010-PODIUM-003_runway.jpg" width="133" /></div><br />
The Fall 2010 runways were full of glorious belts. It was dreamy to see belts wrapped around fur vests, cashmere sweaters and fabulous red dresses. <br />
<br />
The hard part is taking those beautiful looks and applying them in the everyday game of life. Fur is not always an option, cashmere can be expensive and a red dress is not always practical. <br />
<br />
If you're scared of belts,<a href="http://www.elle.com/var/ezflow_site/storage/images/elle/runway/ready-to-wear/pre-fall-2010/michael-kors/michael-kors/michael-kors-pre-fall-2010-ready-to-wear-collection//korsprefall10-005/4083984-1-eng-US/KorsPrefall10-005_runway.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" nx="true" src="http://www.elle.com/var/ezflow_site/storage/images/elle/runway/ready-to-wear/pre-fall-2010/michael-kors/michael-kors/michael-kors-pre-fall-2010-ready-to-wear-collection//korsprefall10-005/4083984-1-eng-US/KorsPrefall10-005_runway.jpg" width="133" /></a> start with basic pieces underneath. Stick with neutral tones and buy belts in black, brown, gold and silver. A basic black dress in your closet can easily be accessorized with a black leather belt. Wear the belt at the smallest part of your natural waist. It's very slimming. I would stick with a 3 inch belt or smaller. Don't invest in an expensive belt until you get used to wearing them. I guarantee you can find fun belts for $20.<br />
<br />
<strong>My top 3 ways to wear belts</strong>:<a href="http://i1081.photobucket.com/albums/j343/shopstylerun/DSC_0526-1.jpg?t=1287978649" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" nx="true" src="http://i1081.photobucket.com/albums/j343/shopstylerun/DSC_0526-1.jpg?t=1287978649" width="121" /></a><br />
<br />
1. Over/under cardigans or blanket sweaters. If you're petite, the blanket sweater can be over powering, so add a belt to bring the waist in. I love, love a cardigan sweater with an embellished medium size belt and a riding boot. Having the belt under the sweater like it's shown, gives just a little sneak peek at the belt. Another love of mine.<br />
<br />
2. Over a blazer is just a nice change up. Sometimes a blazer can be a bit boxy, a belt can give you more of a waist. Make sure you choose a belt that's not too wide. The shorter the length of blazer the skinnier the belt should be.<br />
<br />

Yes, the handbag, your wedding ring, a watch and your diamond studs are just a few. Add a scarf, a multi-pearl/chain necklace, a few bangles, a belt, a hat and what do you have? For some, a scary mess. It's enough to put you over the edge and not want to wear anything at all. But I assure you, accessories are the icing on the cake. When a woman is walking down the street with a smart hat, plush scarf, perfect size handbag and sparkling bangles it makes my heart sing. For me, the clothing doesn't even matter. Who cares if you have a white t-shirt on from your neighborhood </span><a href="http://www.target.com/"><span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">Target</span></a><span style="font-size: large;"> store or worn jeans from years ago. If the accessories are styled right you will look effortlessly chic. Here's a few of my favorites for Fall.</span><br />
<br />
<ol><li><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>A solid scarf</strong> in a rich berry color matched with a galvanized gray blanket sweater. Or, a printed scarf with a fitted, v-neck tee(</span><a href="http://www.michaelstars.com/"><span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">Michael Stars</span></a><span style="font-size: large;">). Sound easy? It's very easy and looks great. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>The long necklace with scarf.</strong> Don't be afraid to add and then add some more. Wrap your scarf once around so it's close to your neck. The two ends will lay nicely to the side. Add the long necklace so it will show in between the scarf. It's very pretty together. I like to keep a small thin everyday necklace on at all times. I switch from gold to silver depending on what I'm wearing. Right now it's a gold, round piece from </span><a href="http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.etsy.com%2Fshop%2FLFJewelryDesigns&h=9c434"><span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-size: large;">LF Jewelry designs</span></span></a><span style="font-size: large;">. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>A solid fedora hat in black or brown matched with an animal print scarf.</strong> Actually an animal print scarf would be on the top of my list. I've had mine 3 years and still wear it continuously. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>The button earring.</strong> The more times the scarf is wrapped around your neck, the less you want something dangling from your ear. I've had a few earrings get pushed out due to the scarf being so close. A small earring is nice and doesn't over power the scarf. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>The over sized ring.</strong> If your fingers are short try not to go too big.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">The last favorite. <strong> All of them styled together making one beautiful outfit.</strong> It can be done.</span></li>
</ol><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The mannequins at </span><a href="http://www.facebook.com/willowsboutique"><span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;">Willows</span></a><span style="font-size: large;"> are always styled with the latest accessories.

I feel the best way is through their closet. I know for some it might be hard to open their closets to a stranger. There is something kind of hush hush about a dark room that's usually shut. Normally people do not socialize or show their closets to family or friends. Although, I know a few women, that could host a party in their beautiful, spacious closet. I remember one woman saying their closet would need to be cleaned out before I could come over. I say "No Worries". <br />
<br />
Organization is technically not what I do. I style your closet. It doesn't matter if the closet is crazy organized or crazy messy. I style each equally as well. In fact, the challenge of a messy closet is almost more fun. <br />
Now, I will say, for the client who has way too much in their closet, like ten pairs of the same black pant or the same cardigan in several colors, it is important to edit those items out so you can see what you have. I create and style outfits you already have or style the new items we shop for. There are many options to choose from.<br />
<br />
For first time clients I suggest Closet Craze, which is a 3 hr session to edit and purge your outdated and unflattering items. This part of the session is a team effort. Be prepared to try on many things. I need to see how things fit. As we all know, clothes on a hanger don't always look the same on your body. We will decide together what goes to charity and what items to consign. <br />
<br />
An extra bonus to my service is the clean up. I will always take your clothes out the door to your choice of charity or consignment store. I will also set up an account for you at the consignment store. Depending on what items you take, it can actually make you some good money. I want this experience to be fun and stress free.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1yo4eC76b2WwhethVYsWZnZFBtSZKwI8Sisgk6-lSHY0KbTWjJmi0ZnNmbjVE0RnLEgfUiK5_05l8MWR_LQmgBt0bnAb0xO5xN-vk94ZyqA52CUEkWHgI_VH5BEhRNCpg4uC80FBYaUA/s1600/DSC_0325.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="214" px="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1yo4eC76b2WwhethVYsWZnZFBtSZKwI8Sisgk6-lSHY0KbTWjJmi0ZnNmbjVE0RnLEgfUiK5_05l8MWR_LQmgBt0bnAb0xO5xN-vk94ZyqA52CUEkWHgI_VH5BEhRNCpg4uC80FBYaUA/s320/DSC_0325.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
Once things are purged, I style. This is where the "ahhhh" moment comes in. The best part of my job. I love showing clients the different and unique ways to wear an item of clothing or how adding an accessory can bring it from day to night. I will take pictures of all outfits so you won't forget any details. Upon completion, I will send the photos to your computer or phone. One client likes pictures sent to her iphone so they are accessible at a moments notice. This is also convenient when styling for a trip. <br />

I do normally check the weather before I leave on buying trips for <a href="http://www.facebook.com/willowsboutique"><span style="color: #cc0000;">Willows</span></a> but it didn't happen this time. </div><ul><li><div style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Check the weather report before you travel.</div></li>
<li><div style="text-align: center;"> Thank goodness I wore a basic <a href="http://www.michaelstars.com/"><span style="color: #cc0000;">Michael Stars</span></a> black tank. Yes, that's me in the taxi cab with hair everywhere. I always have the windows rolled up because my hair goes WILD but considering it was 80 degrees at 9am. I had to just let it go. </div></li>
<li><div style="text-align: center;">Next time bring a hair tie. </div></li>
<li><div style="text-align: center;">Whenever I travel I always wear really basic colors of tanks or t-shirts. Accessories are key to travel. My list includes sunglasses, scarves, earrings and lots of bracelets. Yes, the person behind me at airport security isn't happy. I LOVE animal print because it goes with black or brown. A no brainer when getting ready at 4am. </div></li>
<li><div style="text-align: center;">Always bring a scarf for the plane. Even when it's hot outside, the airport is cold and having something around your next is just cozy. </div></li>
<li><div style="text-align: center;">My last tip. Don't wear a strapless <a href="http://www.nubra.com/"><span style="color: #cc0000;">NUBRA</span></a> when it's 110 degrees. Actually, don't wear it exercising either. It will literally slip down and be a very embarrassing moment for you. Or for me, as it was. I started sweating early on in the day. Gosh, it doesn't sound so pretty or stylish to say SWEAT. But really, it is what it is. BTW, the Nubra is a wonderful invention and I highly recommend it. </div></li>
</ul><div style="text-align: center;">Over all, my buying trip was fabulous. There continues to be a ton of military inspired accessories. I even bought a great multi chain necklace with "little bullets" on it. What's crazy? It's really cool and available at <a href="http://www.facebook.com/willowsboutique"><span style="color: #cc0000;">Willows</span></a><span style="color: #cc0000;">.</span></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1967717377037761112.post-48171162164661717912010-09-26T21:26:00.000-07:002010-09-26T21:26:28.948-07:00My LOVE for running and fashion<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCtuOLjT5aUMFWNi4mUAd-Ck5PjizPs2l7Vf4HNMx63V62ytqPzsy52Ft96E4sPoP4Hi3nHJaKorLJ-G9gK4N9kOw2ZdXQVZO0Hnxd49uuiDBthIRi_KWnoEGCqSIG0w4sdwnA4rA40Os/s1600/runningpic.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" px="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCtuOLjT5aUMFWNi4mUAd-Ck5PjizPs2l7Vf4HNMx63V62ytqPzsy52Ft96E4sPoP4Hi3nHJaKorLJ-G9gK4N9kOw2ZdXQVZO0Hnxd49uuiDBthIRi_KWnoEGCqSIG0w4sdwnA4rA40Os/s640/runningpic.jpg" width="427" /></a></div>Yes, that's me on the <a href="http://www.lovesac.com/"><span style="color: red;">lovesac</span></a><span style="color: white;">.</span> Getting ready for what I thought was going to be 11 miles and ended up doing 13. Yippeeee!!!!!! Love it when I push harder. I didn't do it alone though. My friends Wendy and Jenae were there for amazing support.

<br />
I do have to say my day wasn't that great. Lots of worry about family health and just the everyday stresses. I read some, worked on my blog, tried to write some, read to Ava and finally RAN. Can I just tell you, nothing beats stress like exercise. A release of tension and the ability to clear your head. I'm so blessed to be given the strength and energy to run. <br />
<br />
So, why does this have to do with fashion? For me it has everything to do with fashion. Exercise has given me the confidence to do SHOP.STYLE.RUN. I love buying for <a href="http://www.facebook.com/willowsboutique"><span style="color: red;">Willows</span></a>, merchandising the store and styling women to look beautiful.<br />

When I styled the mannequin I wanted to find a certain something to add a little pizazz. Pearls just looked like the right choice. Pearls don't have to be prim and proper. They go with everything. Of course you don't have to wear them so big. I'm not a small gal so I can get away with bigger pieces. Try one strand of medium size pearls with a white t-shirt or gray pearls with a black blouse. A couple long strands with a camel or brown turtleneck would be very fun. If you don't like necklaces, try earrings or a big pearl ring. </div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1967717377037761112.post-66121192624095436052010-09-19T19:49:00.000-07:002010-09-19T19:49:20.106-07:00My SHOP STYLE RUN Day<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="http://picasa.google.com/blogger/" target="ext"><img align="middle" alt="Posted by Picasa" border="0" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif" style="-moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; background: 0% 50%; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><strong><img alt="" border="0" height="267" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhljpJMcVBNaKhv4FIJsOG91Y5VTJTBkLCQ03tbii2Fm28Oq9qu4AOO_yxoYMx9o-ZXNpZP2UEwHQT6dVsFPuyUsQqJBe1h9gWwR24JMXtaIXxnWNLUAXL5kEMN_Ovd8hoOa_pASUpdZws/s400/DSC_0352.JPG" style="clear: both; float: right; margin: 0px 0px 10px 10px;" width="400" /></strong></div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><strong><span style="font-size: large;">RUN</span></strong><span style="color: red;"> </span></div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: red;">I have to thank Wendy for getting me up and running at 6am. She was running a 20 miler this morning and I needed to get 9 miles in. With all the craziness of work, new work, kids and basically just life, I was feeling a little overwhelmed. Mentally I couldn't get past 6 miles by myself. Thank goodness for a running buddy. Last year I ran by myself and was quite content with it. Then, having to train with someone in order to complete a marathon, I started running with Wendy. Now running almost seems a little empty without a friend by your side. My friend Melanie always told me it wouldn't be worth the pain if she didn't have a friend to talk to. Now I know what she means. </span></div><div align="left" class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: white; font-size: large;"><strong>SHOP</strong></span></div><div align="left" class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: red;">Have you been to </span><a href="http://www.lululemon.com/"><span style="color: red;">Lululemon</span></a><span style="color: red;">?

I'm a huge fan of wearing lip gloss, always and forever. Never a moment when I don't have it on or close by for reapplying. Just makes me feel better. Anyway, Willows is now carrying the line so I can just reach around the computer and grab some when I'm out.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"> <span style="color: red;"><strong>LOVE IT.</strong></span></div>I took a picture of Michelle as she was leaving the store because she looked AMAZING. A perfect choice of color, texture and accessories. A belt, scarf, earrings (you can't see but trust me they are very pretty), hand bag and boots. Not overdone one bit.<br />

Here in the Northwest we are savoring the last bit of warm weather. A sweater is still a little too warm and a t-shirt sometimes doesn't satisfy. This outfit can easily transition into cold weather with a chunky knit sweater tied with the belt she has on.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1967717377037761112.post-102641846516224322010-09-15T23:36:00.000-07:002010-09-15T23:36:48.762-07:00A LONDON TRIP. WHAT TO WEAR AND HOW TO PACKPacking for London with only two bags and a carry on for <span style="background-color: magenta;">ONE </span>year is kind of impossible. Especially for Alex who is like me, a LOVER of clothes. I like to pull solid knits for layering with lots of fun cardigans, jackets and shrugs. Alex pulled solid scarves to go with all her military looks and her black lace up boots were a must to take to LONDON. I know she will be <span style="color: magenta;">beautiful</span> and <span style="color: magenta;">chic</span> with her tall boots and cardigan sweater tied with a brown metallic belt. Wish I was going with her. <br />

Really Alex, 12 pairs of shoes. Okay, what are you wearing them with? She eliminated three pairs but we had to add another boot.
