How to wear colored tights
Bright tights make me happy.
In lieu of my last post, which featured two girls in cheerful colors—one in bright pink tights—I received an email from a reader wondering how to pull off such vibrant leg wear, without resembling a clown…
Dear SP,
I love color, and I loved the picture of the two girls in your last [...]
Pretty palette: Jewel Tones
The warm, balmy days of September are finally starting to fade away and in place of them, are crisp and chilly ones. But, as much as I love October weather, there are still those days when the nippy, rainy wet weather sneaks in, which can slightly dampen my spirit. That is why this picture from [...]
Obsession of the Week: Oxford peep slingbacks
I have been drooling over these magnificent darlings all weekend. These “Undertoe” slingbacks by Nine West are not particularly new, but they happen to be my new love, and I NEED them. Lucky for me they are on sale…Ninewest.com here I come!
Looped
It’s fair to say that I am loopy about belts. I like writing about them and love wearing them. I honestly think almost every outfit could be improved by some type of belt.

Before & After: Strapless dresses

Feather feedback
I love getting emails, comments and feedback about my posts. So you can imagine my thrill when I received an email in regards to my Birds of a feather post. See below, and look how cute!
Dear SP~
The minute that I saw the post about the feathered headbands, I fell in love with them. So, I [...]
Style Q&A: how to wear a traditional leather belt
Dear SP,
I am so fed up with trying to wear leather belts. I see them on other people and they always look so cute, but when I try and put one on, it looks awful. Since I am pear-shaped, my hips are wide compared to the rest of my body, so when I wear a [...]
ABC…one for you, one for me
I saw these adorable alphabet bags by Keep Calm on Joanna Goddard’s blog, A Cup of Joe, and instantly fell in love with the “C” bag. Since it happens to be my true first initial and also reminds me of the typeface I use on my business card, I figured it was a sign that [...]
