Instagram.

I resisted it forever. 

While my account is years old, I only became active on it a few weeks ago. I wish I had more time to devote to the various social media platforms. But I don't. In fact, if it wasn't for the urging of clients, I'm not sure I'd be on Instagram.

My biggest hurdle was figuring out my angle. When I founded my styling business, I made a conscious decision to not post before-and-after pictures of clients on my website (I'm all about confidentiality). And, I was not going to post pictures of what I was wearing, as my business is about what my clients are wearing.

Perplexed, I procrastinated — wondering how to utilize the tool to inspire clients, friends and family. Then it hit me. What if I post style vignettes? Ahh, that works. That feels right.

So today was my 'all-white Tuesday' vignette — showing a portion of my white ripped-up jeans and white popover tunic. A little Parisian edge. It's not forced. And more importantly, it seems to resonate with others.

The pressure is off and I'm simply having fun. Which is the point, right? So find me on Instagram and let's enjoy style together!

From one milestone to another, life continues to move and change around us. As much as I feel like Wonder Woman some days, I cannot stop time. Which makes it even more important to enjoy every precious second of the day with family.

This mother's day, let your children cherish you. Take it all in. File it to memory, so that you can access that moment whenever you need it. Children grow so fast. And as of today, my oldest is officially taller than I am. As excited as he is, it makes me a titch sad. A mixed milestone, I guess you can say.

The reason we are mothers, what ties us together, is our children. And there is no greater gift in the world. Happy Mother's Day!

Good gracious! Enough with the cold.

I am grabbing anything these days to keep warm. Even my cat. Body heat is good.

All I want to do is embrace spring and I'm having a hard time with this wet, cold weather. With one lacrosse season ending and another one beginning, I need a week or two to collect my thoughts. And my clothes. Seriously!

At least I continue to bring spring color into my ensemble when whipping back out my fall coats. After all, I am not going backwards.

It's here!

The Wells Fargo Championship is underway. Are you going?

While I'm diggin' the concept of the bermuda suit for spring and for a golf tournament, I thought I'd explore the cutout sundress for a touch of feminine flair. This floral dress from TOPSHOP is definitely worthy of a second and third glance. Topped off with the perfect hat, sandals and sunglasses, there's no doubt you will be watching the tournament in style. Simple accessories are all that are needed to complete this look.

Oh, and don't forget your sunscreen.
