I love blazers! Okay, they are kind of amazing because they always make you look pulled together whether you are wearing jeans or dress. They are also flattering. This two-tone number is black and grey and great all over. I paired it with light jeans cuffed at the bottom and studded smoking loafers to pull the blazer back to the casual side. Did a little curling number on my hair too. The how to is here. I thought about a necklace or scarf but sometimes you have to keep it simple. The blazer and tee combo is one of my favorites! ~B

Fun with friends in the CWE deserves a casual dressy mix. I paired my blush blazer with a casual grey tee to tone down the white crystal necklace. I also braided my bun for a different texture. Dark lips to go with my dark jeans...why not? What a fun night! ~B

Hello all! This past Sunday I had such a wonderful time at the Springers Creek Winery in Edwardsville, IL. This little winery was basically a few old houses connected by some patios. Decorated with a shabby chic array of portraits, lamps, and carpets, it offers a warm, "coffee shop from Friends" vibe. I had the Orchard Hill, a Riesling with hints of apple flavors, so delicious! It is run by a fantastic family who makes you feel at home.
My pretty talented, song-writing brother played for a few hours. With a mix of original songs and covers of 90s classics, he rocked it! He has some clever word play in his lyrics and the calming melodies were a perfect mood-setter.
As for my outfit, I wanted a relaxed sweater for sure and what is a winery trip without a hat! Details are below. ~B
