You can get this extact Aztec pendant at Yosa, an online site run by the super fabulous Rachel The Hat!

2015 Favorites & Fun Fashion Friday Link Up!


A retrospective look at my 2015 style ...


Winter 2015

Winter was all about moto jackets and wool coats.  And indulging in my favorite style trick ... the pop of red!









Spring 2015

Spring 2015 was about channeling my inner 70's gypsy ... flares, groovy patterns, jumpsuits.  Boho-rific!







Summer 2015

Summer started off with something totally out of my pear-shaped comfort zone ... white jeans!  


 The summer continued with a new appreciation for dresses, from retro style to maxi chic!






Fall 2015

My fall favorites were ponchos & plaid!








Holiday 2015

For the holidays, I went with 1950's glam.


I can't thank my readers enough for taking this 2015 style journey with me!  Wishing us all a 2016 full of fun and fashion!

(And hey fellow bloggers, don't forget to link up below!)
