I'm back from my Bahamas vacation {wiping a tear} and will give you a review in a few days. It was the trip of a lifetime, but now it's back to reality and work. While I was away, I received several new long maxi dresses for Tall Snob Store. One in particular I want to show you is this animal print maxi dress. This long maxi dress drapes nicely (not clingy) and feels soft. It also has sleeves which I know is appreciated by middle-aged women. This dress will be one of your favorites for year round wearing! Add a pair of sandals and a solid black bag and you're good to go! I am only ordering small quantities for my store, so if you love this dress, order it soon! … [Read more...]

Best Dressed: More Stripes Please.
May 1, 2013 By
I almost titled this "trend alert" but really- are stripes a trend? When something is always "in," can it still be considered a trend? That's what I love about stripes. They're never out, always chic, and whether you're seeing them everywhere or occasionally, they're completely appropriate. I think there might have been a "don't wear horizontal stripes" rule for a short time but that was probably around the "redheads shouldn't wear red" time...a time when rules reigned supreme. Those days are over. The only rule is there are no rules. Ok, there might be guidelines, but not rules. ;) When browsing for dresses to blog I realized I was seeing a theme. I threw out my initial concept for a post and went with this one. Enjoy my picks of striped dresses: From Left to Right: Loft Tall Zig Zag Panel Sleeveless Dress. Tall Breton Stripe Midi Dress. Essential striped scoop dress (Tall). Striped drawstring maxi dress (Tall). Which is your favorite? I seriously can't … [Read more...]

Tall Chambray Review
April 15, 2013 By
By now you know I’m a fan of chambray right? I probably have about 5 chambray items in my closet- some I’ve had for years, some I’ve just purchased. Like this shirt: Women’s Tall Chambray Shirts. Does it look familiar? I wrote about it in this post. And clearly I couldn’t get it out of my head after that. I waited a while before pulling the trigger but when I saw it was still hanging out in my cart (and under $20 with discounts), I went for it. As you saw here, I had a chambray button down but it was darker and I thought this light color would be perfect for summer. I ordered it and… Pros: runs truer to size. I usually wear a medium in button downs. The first chambray shirt I had to return for a small. This one I ordered in my typical size and it was perfect. I prefer ordering a medium over a small because they’re usually longer and that was the case here. The shirt tails are plenty long enough. I love the light tone and you can’t beat … [Read more...]
