Dear Neon Yellow, I must admit… I’m a bit obsessed with little touches of you throughout my wardrobe.  While I can’t wear you head to toe without looking like a school bus… I sure do like you in little well placed areas… you just make my heart go pitter patter. Write more… Type less, Lauren [...]

Dear Champagne, While you are oh so fancy all on your own, I’ve been secretly obsessed with ways to dress you up.  Perhaps some frozen berries on a skewer or a champagne cocktail?  Maybe even a delightful macaroon with a hint of your bubbly flavor?  Yummy – Yummy!

Dear Leopard Ballet Flats, What would I do without you?  I don’t think there has ever been a more perfect union before I met you.  I don’t think I could function without you in my life.  What neutral like you made an outfit more stylish… what accessorized a pop of color better then you…  nothing [...]
