1. Maxi Morning

    April 17, 2013 by Fashion Billie

    Noting feels more like spring than throwing on a maxi.  Tall or small these dresses flatter all.

    If you are pint sized like a Kim K go for a great wedge and lengthen the look.  I on the other hand tend to run into the problem of these dresses being to short.  If you are tall like me grab a pair of flats and giver your tootsies a break for the day!

  3. Kentucky Derby Day

    May 6, 2013 by Fashion Billie

    This weekend was full of festivities with the Kentucky Derby and Cinco De Mayo!

    In true Southern belle style I grabbed my Derby hat and closest friends for a day at the races.

    Derby 5

    Placed my bet in my fantastic new DianeVon Furstenberg sandals.  Every girl knows how hard it is to find a attractive white sandal.  These were a great find on GILT Groupe and half price!!

    What’s a party with out a little Chip and Dip?  That was the name of these adorable miniature donnkeys at the race track.  I had to get my hands on these adorable little guys!

    With Great Gatsby 20′s inspired fashion roaring right now I chose a smaller cloche hat this year.  I have had mine for a while but they have several cute hats right now at Zappos.

  5. Simon Style Setter Finalist!!

    March 19, 2013 by Fashion Billie

    Try, try again…  When you are following your dreams you can NEVER give up.

    A coworker recently passed along the entry information for the Simon Style Setter Blogger contest.  I hesitated a bit as I had applied last year and didn’t even make it to the final three.  Being a firm believer in signs and the sheer fact that he thought enough of my passion to encourage it, I reapplied.

    Out of the blue yesterday a message appeared in my inbox. This year I made t to the top three!!

    Myself and two other amazing bloggers Melissa Chou of We Wear Things and Michelle Naik of 4 Inches High are now in a vote off.

    Please help me share my passion and some really fierce fashion! Vote today!!  Click Here

    My dream may be a glittery, sparkly, girly girl fantasy to some but making women feel fierce is serious business to me.  It’s a bit glittery, sparkly too.  He, he!


  6. Spring CrOp by David Peck

    March 12, 2013 by Fashion Billie

    I am absolutely obsessed with the dresses in the CrOp by David Peck spring collection.  Being a local designer makes all of his looks even more delicious!

    The Antonia dress, perfectly called the 24/7 can easily transition from day to night.  Add a great blazer for a wear to work ensemble.   Then bare your beautiful shoulders for a night out.  I mean what woman doesn’t like her shoulders? The subtle sexiness really makes this dress stand out.

    Antonia J

    From brunch to a day out and about the Bovary dress will be my summer staple.  Pair with a great wedge, flat strappy sandal or fabulous hat and sunnies.

  10. How to Mix Textures

    March 1, 2013 by Fashion Billie

    Mixing textures is all the rage right now! Think denim and silk or leather and lace.

    With the right combo you can add versatility to that ho, hum closet and accentuate those assets.

    The trick is to start with mixing only two textures. Wear your thicker texture in the area you would like to accentuate and your lighter texture in the area you would like to minimize. Trick-o-the-Eye.

    The same theory applies If we are talking patterns. Wear your larger print in the where you want to highlight and use your smaller print to camouflage those trouble areas.

    Just a girl playing in the country:)
