There’s always this odd time in the middle of a season when it becomes hard to shop. By now, retailers are starting to move out summer clothes to make room for pre-fall items. Personally? I tend to hunker down once we’ve hit the mid-season slump, saving my money for fall. But, if you’re looking for […]

By Robin Puelma Posted in Shopping & Fashion On Jun 12, 2018

I am a jeans adorer. Most days, you’ll find me in skinny jeans, a tee, and sandals because jeans are both classic and chic—and go with everything. Typically, skinny jeans are my go to.

2018 Spring trends are here!

By Robin Puelma Posted in Shopping & Fashion On Mar 19, 2018
