Reese Witherspoon, Kerry Washington, Elizabeth Banks, and Eva Longoria graced the cover of Entertainment Weekly. The simplicity of this photo was amazing – all of the girls are having a classic shirt and denim moment!
How to achieve the look:
I’m still in love with the peplum silhouette. I adore the cut and style of this particular top because it’s fitted at the waist and flairs near the hips. It’s the perfect look (especially for moms) due to the fact that wearing a peplum silhouette will hide the mid-section.
Peplum tops also photograph well from all angles and give instant curves to the upper torso. They compliment all body types; one can dress them up or down depending on the occasion.
The Peplum Blazer in the photo (below) was amazing due to the color, one-button closure and high-low hem. I decided to wear platform pumps for a heightened appearance. Overall, I was pleased with the quality of this blazer. I can’t wait to pair with a blouse and jeans for a totally different look!
It’s the holiday season and that means we like to expand our wardrobe for evening dresses, special occasion dresses, and maybe even prom dresses. There’s so many options available for us and shopping in-store can be overwhelming!

Transitional clothing, what does that mean? Wearing a garment that’s meant for one season but incorporating that particular item into your current wardrobe. Purchasing a camisole shell can be a great wardrobe staple regardless of the season. It can be worn by itself with a pair of slacks or layered underneath a cardigan.
Camisole shells also style well with delicate accessories such as studs and hoops. Lastly, they can be worn to work, brunch, or cocktail hour.
I adore the Layered Lady Top shown above because of the shoulder fit, v-neckline, and flare at the waist. The fabric content (silk/polyester) compliments the design of the top and color (winter white) can enhance any item bottom in my wardrobe.
I decided to wear this top with a pair of jeans for a casual look; but can also be worn with a pencil skirt and booties!

The Annapolis Sailboat Show is a historic event that takes place in the Annapolis district. This is a show for sailors (and family members) searching for equipment, clothing, and boating accessories. It’s also a great place to visit and enjoy the sailboat tour!
Aside from enjoying the beautiful boats, guests can sip on cocktails, listen to music, and indulge in authentic Maryland cuisine. My personal favorite is the jumbo crab cake and ice cream. The boys and I walked around to vendors; we even viewed a gorgeous two bedroom yatch and considered taking sailing courses.
The Annapolis Sailboat Show’s considered to be one of the largest and oldest in-water sailboat shows. Here are a few style tips for boat dressing:
1. Sophisticated Sunglasses
2. Beautiful Tunic or Afghan
3. One-Piece Swimsuit
4. Stylish Clutch Handbag
5. Maxi Dress
6. Wedge Platforms or Flip Flops
7. Straw Hat
There’s nothing better than a custom handbag. It’s the one item in your wardrobe that speaks volumes about your personality and style. Local accessories designer, Quinn Conyers (and brand owner) has helped us out in this area!

Alpha Custom Magazine Clutch Review:
I received the Alpha Custom Magazine Clutch from the company. I was excited to open the package because I am a proud member of my sorority. Most importantly, how many times are we (sorority girls) wanting to represent our organization by wearing the perfect accessory? This clutch can achieve all of that and more.
Number one, this is a large clutch in terms of length, height, and width. That means it’s perfect to hold your cell phone, sunglasses, lipstick, and wallet. Number two, the Alpha Clutch is made with a very durable material. There’s no way for this handbag to lose its form because there’s a white magnetic snap closure and silver-toned hardware. Number three, the design on the clutch truly embodies my sorority with the authentic colors and wording. The inside of the purse has a satin lining, and there’s a detachable shoulder strap.
I would encourage wearing the Custom Magazine Clutch for chapter activities or a “sisters” night out. This handbag can be paired with jeans, a blazer, a jumpsuit, or a daytime dress. The possibilities for wearing this purse are endless because of its unique quality and style.
Most importantly, visit the website to purchase your own Custom Magazine Clutch, and don’t forget to wear your pearls!
Sunglasses: Ray-ban| Striped Top: Target | Watch: Michael Kors
On this particular day I didn’t know what to wear; I grabbed my blazer, big earrings, and pumps. I’m not sure if it’s the back – to – school rush or post vacation hustle but I just couldn’t pull it together!
When all else fails (and my brain’s on overload) I lean towards a chic look. You can’t go wrong with a striped knit top, fitted jeans, pumps, and classic watch. Don’t forget to throw on your sunglasses, fluff your hair and hold your head high because confidence is always in style.

We have days when time is not of the essence. We’re in a rush to get out of the door, whether it’s for a business meeting, play date, or even a trip to the grocery store. The truth of the matter is that leaving your home (quickly) can become a second job. It’s the reality of getting things accomplished while appearing to look pulled together.
No one wants to be that mom or girlfriend who lives in a baseball cap and sweats! Or even worse you can’t find anything to match in your wardrobe. Trust me, I’ve been there which is the reason for this post – How To Guide: Get Dressed in 15 Minutes or Less.
1. Don’t live your life without BB Cream, Mascara, Beauty Blender, and a bold shade of Lipstick. BB Cream is a combination between Lotion, Foundation, and SPF 15 in one small tube. This alone makes BB Cream a perfect addition to one’s makeup bag because you’re applying one product to serve three purposes. Use your Beauty Blender to apply quickly with a whip of mascara and that red lipstick (helps to wake up the eyes after lack of sleep.)
2. It’s great to own fifty pairs of earrings but when you’re in rush one needs a set that coordinates with anything. Always keep a pair of studs available in diamond, pearl, silver, or gold. Any of the various metals can coordinate quickly with your attire and help you accessorize quickly.
3. In my case (and everyone’s different) ladies of today’s era should own a “Quick Hair” collection. You’re probably asking, “what does that mean?” Quick hair is a fun nickname for various hair style options. For example, use of hair pieces, clip – in extensions, or even a hair wig can save time. There are moments when you’re not aware of what could happen on a daily basis; owning a quality hair piece can be an investment.
4. Nude pumps or flats are the latest go to girl’s bestfriend; they add a touch of sophistication to any attire. This particular shade of pumps coordinates well with your skin tone and helps to elongate the legs. They also match everything in your closet.
5. Two words: Spray Lotion…I often wonder, why did it take so long to create this product! Honestly, I really don’t know how I lived my life without spray lotion. For use, simply spray the area that needs hydration, rub in quickly, and go!
6. Always keep a neutral tone blazer in your closet that has been dry cleaned or ironed. One can wear a black blazer over a t shirt, blouse, dress, trousers, or with a pair of jeans. The options are endless but the most important aspect to remember is that this item should always be hanging in your closet (not in a bag with wrinkles.)
I hope the tips that I’ve provided will help everyone get dressed in 15 minutes or less. If you have any questions or want to share you’re own tips, please feel free to email me at kim@stylelifefashion.com
P.S. Don’t forget your sunglasses!
