Jump Around
It was Christmas Eve 1993, me and my family were opening our presents and per usual I was excited to rip through all the "santa" packages to get to the big box at the bottom of the pile. Growing up I could always figure out which gift was what by the shape of the box and especially remembered the unusual shape of the Cabbage Patch Kids and ran to those first. This year I had no clue what this extra large square box looming at the bottom of the pile was, I hadn't asked for anything that large so this really would be a surprise! An oh what a surprise it was, I opened the box, confused to see an outfit that was all attached. That's right folks, a jumpsuit that was a pleated pants, a white silk button down with shiny pearly buttons and a paisley vest all attached and zipped up the rear. It was quite the site! While my father is ALWAYS so generous and great at gift giving he occasionally was left to shop on his own without my mothers help and would come home from working in NYC with a gift for us that he picked out special on his own. Hence the work suit in a jumpsuit form. I am pretty sure all I could respond was "wow, it's all attached, how neat" while my mother and sister tried to hold their composure in the background. I was then forced to try it on for everyone's amusement. {I really hope my dad isn't reading this blog post today}. Next time I am in NY I am going to look for that photo just so I can share my humiliation, it's just too good.
Thankfully the jumpsuit has come a long way since then and there are much more flattering silhouettes available for the gal who likes her outfit all in one. Something about this look is just simply chic, below are a few of my favorites. What do you think, is this style for you or do you still like your tops and pants to be separate entities???

color crush - navy
This past weekend I ventured away from my routine blah manicure of a pale pink or white and got a bold sapphire navy blue. I never wear dark colors on my nails but I have been on a serious navy kick lately and went for it. While my husband absolutely loathes it, I am glad I gave it a spin and think it's so fun to experiment with color in the form of polish. Since I have been staring at my paws typing all day at work I thought I would put together some of my favorite navy items that I have been coveting because afterall what is there not to love about this classic color. It looks great on everyone and compliments so many other colors brilliantly. The navy J.Crew tank below is the latest edition to my closet, cannot wait to pair it with some dark jeans and my gold metallic pumps on our vacation in Napa next week! Which is your favorite navy item???

peek a boo
I consider myself a rather conservative dresser. I love trends but rarely indulge in them and like to keep my wardrobe filled with classic pieces that I hopefully wont hate after one season. This however means my wardrobe can be a tad lackluster and needs a bit of a oomph every now and then. So while I tend to buy more solids then patterns, more black then color; I do adore when a great article of clothing features a unique style that makes an otherwise basic blouse or dress really stand out. This season that detail is the "peek a boo" detail for tops and dresses. I adore how it gives just the right amount of sexiness without being too revealing. Whether the design is showing off your back or decolletage with a key hole, cut out or a slit up the leg, there are many ways to show off just a bit more skin then usual while still keeping it classy. Check out some of my favorites below.

what to pack - apres ski
Below are two stylish outfits that I just adore and would love to pack for the slopes or simply to wear to the bars for apres ski. I however never feel this glamorous after skiing, usually my nose is running and as bright as Rudolph's, my hair is in frozen dreadlocks and I'm usually in my TJ Maxx ski pants - BUT if I had my choice, I would be in one of the ensembles below sitting fireside with my gals or the hubs!
