Fashion Week S/S 2013

I am so excited about Tonya Strozier’s trip to Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week S/S 2013.  She had a blast as she worked with Rudy Miles of Beauty by Rudy for designer Zang Toi’s runway show.  Tonya flew out of Tucson to New York on Saturday, September 8th.  She attended...

Casual Friday

There is something about Fridays.  You start anticipating sleeping in on Saturday, going to church on Sunday morning and taking a long nap Sunday afternoon.  Friday also means "casual" day at work for most people across the globe.  Isn't it great to go...

About the Business

Earlier this week, I wore a Ralph Lauren navy pinstripe suit.  The Ralph Lauren jacket has a breast pocket, but the breast pocket is not functional. What I mean by functional is that you cannot put a pocket square or a silk scarf in it.  Most women's suits...

Woman In Motion

Meet Tonya Strozier ---  wife, loving mother, entrepreneur and stylist.  There’s no doubt this woman has her hands full, but she still finds time to follow her passion and pave her way to the top. Tonya and I met in 2009 during my first trip to Arizona and...

Warm and Fuzzy

The Challenge

Welcome to my blog!  Here I am with my first post.  I decided I would challenge myself to begin with what is already in my closet.  I cannot buy new outfits, shoes, etc.  I have to work with what I already own. I began by giving several pairs of shoes, handbags, jeans...

If you have never had a "sno ball," you don't know what you're missing.  It is a sweet little dream that I enjoyed as a kid and still enjoy today.  My husband and I decided to stop by Tropical Sno at the Foothills Mall for a  sweet treat. I ordered a...

The Tuxedo

Traditionally, the tux has been a fashion piece often worn by men.  However, the tuxedo has become more and more popular among women.  I love the tuxedo and years ago, I decided to add one to my wardrobe.  I purchased this tux in 2007 to speak to a...

Think Pink

Audrey Hepburn once said, "I believe in pink."  I, too, believe in pink.  That's why I purchased this fun scarf from Harold's several years ago.  It has cute, colorful pictures of shoes allover and the colors are still rich as if I purchased it...
