The Classy Woman

February, it's the time of year where it seems the most frigid temps of the year make their appearance all over the country. Here in Central Florida we've been enjoying the warmth of sunshine almost daily combined with a chill in the air. It's actually one of my favorite times of year here because it truly feels like a change of season. Despite the freezing weather that many of you are experiencing right now, I have a feeling springtime is just around the corner. Right now I'm so inspired by softer, lighter and also brighter colors, less layers and romantic fabrics. For those of you escaping to somewhere tropical, I've included some resort pieces as well as gorgeous maxi dresses which can be enjoyed well past your vacation come late spring and summer. *Simply click on any item images shown above and you'll be linked directly over to the exact item on the retailer's page for...

To conclude my Valentine's Day post trio which began of course with What to Wear for Valentine's Day - classy attire from dressy to casual which included 3 looks as well as a Valentine's Day Gift guide for Her (hints for him).  I'm now sharing some suggestions on what to get that sweet man in your life. I don't know about you but I've always found men tricky to shop for. There are a handful of items though that I've learned over time that you absolutely cannot go wrong with. They are classic and timeless so I'm sharing with you today. GROOMING ESSENTIALS JavaScript is currently disabled in this browser. Reactivate it to view this content.

I always enjoy picking out something special whether it's a small bouquet of flowers, a new pair of earrings or a gorgeous new handbag for the season that I know I'll have on my arm nearly every day.

Several weeks ago I accidentally (there really aren't any accidents in life are there?) stumbled upon a new line of skincare via Instagram . What captured my interest most was that the company uses all natural, organic ingredients, no fillers, zero chemicals and everything is vegan, non-toxic, never tested on animals and is gentle for even the most sensitive skin. On top of that they use the most amazing high quality oils like sea buckthorn, argan oil, meadowfoam oil and lavender, calendula and more. The company I discovered is  Luminance Skincare  and all of their products are hand-crafted no produced in a factory. After taking a peek at their website to further probe into the ingredient lists, I knew I just had to try their products as I use only natural and organic skincare, cosmetics and other personal care items such as shampoos right down to my toothpaste. What I also found pretty amazing is that their price points are so very reasonable for the luxurious ingredients the...

While I'm a romantic at heart I've never been someone who gets completely wrapped up in Valentine's Day like some girls do with grandiose expectations. I like to buy a little gift for my 2 sweeties (hubby and my sweet daughter) but I don't make big wish lists for my husband or have big expectations for the day. If Paul surprises me with flowers, perfume or chocolates it's always appreciated as is a meal out whether it's lunch or dinner but not expected. He's usually pretty thoughtful and will bring flowers home but if he's traveling out of the country like last year when he left for China the first week of February, I just buy them for myself-no big deal. Even when I was unmarried, if I didn't have a date, I'd always try to plan something fun and/or do something to love on myself such as go to a yoga class, treat myself to a pedicure or plan a dinner outing with my other single girlfriends. As a family of 3, whether we decide to make it a day out...
