Florida Camouflage

August 14, 2017

A romper, maxi, mini dress, pillow, or wallpaper covered in a banana leaf or palm pattern gets me giddy, always. When I found this uber affordable mini dress from rosegal.com (also on shein.com) I had to have it. It may make me blend into the background of this tropical playground, that is Miami, but I don't mind. I'll be holding onto this dress for as long as I can. Thankfully, I still have quite a few months to wear it out. And, since I am not afraid to over-do a color or dramatize an outfit, I decided I like to wear my green Celine bag along with the dress. Let's just say, I like the bag adding to my Florida camouflage look. xo RCN

Leopard Lady

April 4, 2017

I have loved animal print since I was a little girl. My bedroom as a teenager was painted with magenta walls, except for one, which my Mom painted with exploded Zebra print stripes. Leopard and cheetah patterns are my favorite (there is a noticeable difference between the two). I also adore dalmation and cowhide for interiors. Tiger stripes are quite beautiful to admire, as well. Sometimes, I do think animal print can look cheap or gaudy, but when it is done just right, it can have a very trendy/sexy or retro/fun appeal. My latest addition to the closet is this graphic, leopard print, strappy, slip dress I scored at TJ Maxx for $19.99. Can't beat that! Check out some of my favorite leopard pieces out in the market, now. xo RCN

Pineapples Please

March 28, 2017

Pineapples began trending almost two years ago, but they are still going strong. In home decor and fashion. From children's bedspreads to barware silhouettes and and fashion prints, they are still everywhere. My latest pineapple purchase was this maxi off the should Lucca dress from Neiman Marcus Last Call. I first saw it in the outlet store and later purchased online in my size. The shoulders don't slide up or down - important for girls with broad shoulders like myself. The tie at the waist allows you to tighten and accentuate your waistline, and the center front slit blows beautifully in the breeze. I popped the navy and black pattern with my bold velvet fuchsia slides from ASOS and my pink Fendi Du Jour purse. There is no question, I'll be packing this baby for my next vacation getaway!
