Hamsa & Fun Fashion Friday Link Up!

April 9, 2015
Everything old is new again.
The hamsa image is showing up on tshirts and jewelry all over the place.  This ancient symbol has been used for centuries as protection against the evil eye in the Middle East and parts of Africa.  The vibe of this amulet fits right in with the bohemian aestetic so on trend right now.

Outfit details and shopping ideas:

Distressed BF jeans – Old Navy

Nude sandals – Michael Shannon (cute option, Zappos))
Shop for platform sandals at Shopbop.

Jewelry – Tillys

Studded clutch – Urban Expressions (Nordstrom Rack)
Shop for studded clutches at Zappos
Shop for studded clutches at Shopbop

And while the hansa symbol may guard against the evil eye, it’s no protection at all against my wild Siberian husky!


I decided to go with a casual theme for this week’s features:


Here’s Jill of Doused in Pink looking so cool and comfy.

Everyone knows I’m a sucker for a cute dog top and here’s Debbie of Fashion Fairy Dust looking adorable in hers.

Loving this striped top with the utility vest on pretty Casey of A Little Bit Of Cheer.


I love casual chic!

Now Dolls … link up, link back, browse around & have FUN!

Fringe Movement – Round Up!

January 11, 2015
I love fringe!

Maybe because I was born in San Francisco during the era of the summer of love.  Or was it all those sequined and fringe-edged dance costumes when I was a little girl?  Or maybe coming of age in the 80’s in the time of hair bands and glam rock?  

Whatever the reason, I love it and it’s a big trend right now and will continue to be all the rage in the spring.  So how could I not do a fringe round up?!

First of all, let’s get to heart of the fringe movement … boho chic. 



Loving this Roxy cardi/wrap that Santa brought me!  

One of my favorite fashionistas, Monika from Style is My Pudding is the queen of boho, rock-goddess looks!  Love her fringed long cardi and her fuzzy fringy jacket!

Because Shanna Said So is reason enough for me.  Adore this cute casual boho look! (Side note: how perfect is the House of Harlow pendant with this look? Why did I never pick up one of those beauties?)
If you love boho, you have to check out Gnome Lover.  She’s my go to for anything Anthropologie!  And how adorable is she? 
The always amazing Suzanne Carillo rocks so many different looks. Loving her in the this fringe-tastic ensemble! 

Southern girls get in on the fringe action too with J from Bless Her Heart, Y’all wearing this cool aztec inspired sweater coat.
Boho not really your thing?  Fringe can also be so glam!  Check out these dolls.

Carylee of More Pieces of Me is a fringy glam delight in this fun mini.


And Jennie of A Pocketful of Polka Dots is also looking gorgeous in her glam fringy skirt.

And look at this stunning fringe dress for sale from Sheree at It’s Not That Deep.
Amy Ann of The Real Arnolds is dazzling in this statement fringe necklace.

Ashely from Fancy Stuff and Pretty Things looks sophisticated and fabulous with her fringy necklace.  And hey, does a tassel count as fringe? Check out her bag!


Speaking of tassels, here’s the always beautiful Patti of Not Dead Yet Style wearing a charming fringy tassel pendant.
Jess of Elegantly Dressed and Stylish gives us another pretty option. How about a ladylike fringe wrap jacket?

Or super cool fringe booties?  Here’s some casual perfection from Debbie at Fashion Fairy Dust!
Maybe a fringe bag is more your thing?  This cool look is from Rachel the Hat.

And last but not least, the scarf is a stylish way to get in on the fringe movement.

Here’s the always lovely Jill from Everything Just So showing us her beautiful emerald scarf with fringe.
And who wouldn’t want to have Tea Time with Trina when she’s looking so pretty and chic in this outfit?
Bertha of Chic in Academia looks so cozy in this cute scarf. (Side note: that smile!)

Here’s gorgeous Adrienne of The Rich Life (on a Budget) wearing a long pretty taupe scarf … or hey, is it a vest?  Either way, it totally works!

Darling Megan of Posh Prime looks so fresh and cute in her pretty plaid scarf.
The beautiful Jill of Doused in Pink is looking comfy and adorable in her fringy scarf paired with plaid, jeans, and boots.
Here’s my dear friend and shopping buddy, Lynn (IG @lynnnie34) rocking some fringe with her cool over the knee boots.


And let’s face it, Annette of Lady of Style looks heavenly in anything, including a pretty fringe scarf of course!

So Dolls, what do you think of this fashion trend?  

Thanks for joining me for this fun adventure through the land of fringe!  

Sending out a huge thanks to all my favorite bloggers for letting me feature them!  
(And as always, if you don’t want to be included, please just email me.) 

And I totally apologize if I missed you this time around!  

Should I keep doing these round ups, dear readers?  They’re time consuming for me, but OH SO FUN!  I’d love to get some feedback!
