What To Wear
Are you ready for the 4th of July holiday weekend? Ann Taylor has just what you need – regardless if the weather is going to hold up for beach weather or not.
From a flattering bikini and shorts and tops that are an easy transition from day-to-night to grab-and-go dresses for the weekend bash – all the essentials fit right in your favorite weekend tote.
I love sunglasses! They’re the perfect face accessory and from a health stand point, sunglasses protect the eyes from environmental factors and strain.
This Saturday, June 27th is National Sunglasses Day! It’s time to celebrate everyone’s favorite accessory come summertime. Whether you prefer classic aviators or trendy cat-eye style shades, fashionistas everywhere love their sunglasses and all the benefits they bring – especially in the summer sunshine.
Luckily, we have a slew of fashion brands that supply both timeless and on-trend sunglass styles perfect for any occasion. Please see sunglass styles from HeyGorgeous.com and Timberland perfect for celebrating National Sunglasses Day this weekend.
Polka dots! Add pieces from Ann Taylor such as an effortless maxi dress, romper or the perfect shirt of the peppy print to your wardrobe— big, small or mixed together, for a pop of fun this season!
Top off your polka-dotted ensemble with grab-and-go accessories, like a fedora or a bucket bag.
Coach, Inc., a leading New York design house of modern luxury accessories and lifestyle collections, goes to the dogs as it reveals its newest advertising campaign. Titled “COACH PUPS,” the new campaign features canine stars in a series of portraits photographed by Steven Meisel. It launches this month with Miss Asia Kinney, the adorable four-legged companion of Lady Gaga.
The campaign celebrates the dogs in our lives and captures the pups’ unique personalities as they “model” Coach’s Fall 2015 star bags. Additional PUPS staring in the campaign will be revealed shortly. Miss Asia Kinney, Lady Gaga’s now famous French Bulldog has amassed a substantial social media following in only a few short weeks. The Coach bags she elegantly models in the campaign are the Edie and the Rucksack.
Art directed by Fabien Baron and styled by Karl Templer, COACH PUPS will appear in print, online and on outdoor media globally starting in July.
Lady Gaga commented: “I am so proud of Miss Asia! She’s a natural in front of the camera, and we’re both so excited that the iconic Steven Meisel shot her for Coach’s pup campaign! I really love getting to watch my best friend be a star.”
Stuart Vevers, Creative Director at Coach comments, “’I’ve never had so much fun on a shoot. The combination of Mr. Meisel and the pups was an extraordinary, surreal, special moment. We wanted to create playful images that make you smile. We were inspired by some images from the Coach archive, which featured Eddie—the dog that starred in the TV series Frasier—to create something joyful, with humor and character. That’s a spirit that’s uniquely at the heart of Coach.”
This new initiative will also introduce the social campaign #coachpups, including a range of online activities for fellow dog fanciers, opportunities for Instameets, special talks and other events hosted by the great and the good of the canine world. This will also mark the debut of the Coach Snapchat account.
Coach has made a donation to Chicago French Bulldog Rescue (frenchieporvous.org) on behalf of Miss Asia Kinney and her devoted owner.

Savers Thrift Store opened in Owings Mills on Thursday, June 11, 2015. The store invited me to a sneak peek event on Tuesday, June 9 , 2015 and provided a gift certificate to jump-start my shopping spree.
The challenge was to see how far I could stretch the gift certificate at a thrift store. I love thrifting and finding quality items for a good price, so course I was up for the challenge! The store was decorated in true event style with balloons and associates helping shoppers.
Savers was also well-organized and provided a great shopping experience. I found several items to enhance my summer wardrobe.
I like to mix low – end and high-end merchandise to create a unique style. For example, I would pair my louboutines with a lace skirt found at a local consignment shop. Fashion’s about self-expression and not the amount of money your spending.
