Take A Ride To She La La…..

There is the cutest store, She La La with locations in Westport and New Caanan. I am always asked for a few new places outside of our immediate area to visit. I really love She La La and highly recommend a drive. The store is curated with the cutest clothes, accessories, and accents for your home. It is hard to leave without a few shopping bags filled with treasures. Luckily She La La has also expanded its online store. You can check out much of their merchandise assortment HERE. I did find a bunch of my favorite picks of their newest merchandise. All of these items can be purchase through their website. or GO VISIT: She La La, 120 Main St, New Canaan and 218 Post Rd E, Westport!

I absolute love wicker candle holders. I scatter them all over my patio on summer nights. I cannot decide which style I love more, the tall or the shorter version.

Time To Get In Shape

One of my favorite Shapewear companies has a fabulous website. Now is the perfect time to “get in shape”.  Lover-beauty is a company devoted to helping us women find ways to love our bodies and rediscover our inner beauty!!! Their body shaping garments improve posture, boost confidence, and highlight a more contoured shape and sleek physique.

One of my favorite products is the waist trainer. It comes in a variety of different styles and sizes allowing you to look chic, remain comfortable, and achieve the slimming result you want. From petite to plus size all ranges of size and shape are covered. 

They also have a product called the body shaper for weight loss called the Neoprene Waist Trainer.  This is a unique weight-loss tool. It helps to enhance your workout. This garment is so comfortable you can wear it all day and night long. After a short period of time, you will see results in the reduction of your thigh area and notice a lift of your butt. This Neoprene Waist Trainer has so many special features to make it functional and also comfortable. The closure is adjustable in the front and also on the shoulders for the most comfort while wearing and it has a special design that will also not ride up when wearing.


But my favorite item is the cami tank.  It is a full seamless back shaper with compression.  Here are the features: Comfortable fabric with enough shaping effect lets you wear all day Open chest area enhances your bustline and you can wear your own bra; A double-layered contour panel brings a targeted tummy control effect and streamlines waist curves; Full back coverage smoothes back bulges and improves postures Seamless design with fine stitches stays invisible under clothes and reduces chafing.

All garments are made from the highest quality materials. Each product is comfortable, lightweight, and stretchy. Every piece flows effortlessly while maintaining its unique form and fits perfectly under any outfit, especially the waist trainer wholesale, from the formal of dresses to broken-in jeans.

Most Lover-Beauty clients first buy their first piece for a special occasion but end up wearing them all day every day, especially the neoprene waist trainer!

Charms are all the rage right now. They are shown everywhere layered on long chains, chokers and everything in between. I love these charms. They are so simple yet the gemstones really bring them to the next level of gorgeous.

I love Statement rings, these are all so chic from the single diamond designs to the fabulous Moonstone.

I also love the new “stack’ look with the layering of more dainty chains. The gemstone and diamond bracelets really pop. The bracelet with the single diamond is my go-to Graduation gift.

Fashion..Have We Missed You!!!!

I love fashion…I know SHOCKER!!!! I arrange most things in my closet by outfit, so I am always ready for whatever comes my way…..Sadly the past 14 months have really put a damper on getting dressed up and going out. The pandemic cut short many celebrations last year, a year when me and all of my good friends were turning 50. Trips and gatherings were canceled, get-togethers canceled, outings canceled. I know you get my point because we are all in the same boat. The other day, my Vogue magazine came and on the cover, it said, “Fashion We Have Miss You”. I kept that magazine in my kitchen and stared at that cover for a week..Of course, there are so many more important things to focus on in today’s world than Fashion but you know what, we really did miss it. And we really do need it. We need to get dressed. When you look good you feel good and that is not happening in loungewear and pajamas. During this pandemic I promised myself when we did get out of this, I was always going to be overdressed from here on in. We maybe not over-dressed but definitely dressed up….speaking of dresses, it’s been so long that I featured dresses, going out dresses, seeing people dresses. So I am going to start today. A couple of years ago, I stumbled upon the brand English Factory. I loved all the styles and found them to be really well priced. Somewhere between Zara and Veronica Beard!!!!! Sweet Dabney Lee here on Purchase St carries a lot of English Factory so check her assortment first but here are some great options that I found while partnering with Shop Bop.

Though not a dress, this top is perfection…I love it with black pants and sandals or white jeans and cute espadrilles.

IMG 7661

This is really the perfect summer dress….the belted style is really flattering…and the print subtle.

IMG 7669

My daughters usually do not choose long dresses but both fell in love with this..I really love it too.

IMG 7668

This might be my favorite one. I love the color and I can see this with a really pretty statement earring and delicate flat.

IMG 7665

This is probably the dress you will end up wearing all summer..it can be dressed down for day and dressed up for night by just changing your jewelry and shoes…perfect wardrobe staple!

IMG 7664

There is something about yellow this season..I am really dying for a yellow dress..

IMG 7663

I bought this dress last year from Dabney. It is so cute..I wore it everywhere..over a bathing suit, to picnics with friends, to even once on a boat for an evening cruise!!

IMG 7666

This dress might be the alternative to the black dress above. If you want a lighter look..this is it.
