Hollywood Glamour

Kathleen Bergan Photography

Today's post was inspired by old Hollywood Glamour, an era most highlighted between the 20-40's. I've always wondered why people always assume that because they aren't a famous actress or singer that you have to limit your wardrobe. I often hear women say" I could never pull that off! But you certainly could." But what makes me different from anyone else? I'm not a famous celebrity or any who even has half the means to have half the things they do. Of course they can afford the highest of quality of clothes but what makes celebrities the only people that are accessible to beautiful things? Nothing.

Like my mother always said, "You can't buy style." From that advice is exactly why I choose to dress the way I do. I'm no Sarah Jessica Parker or Marilyn Monroe but I know I love fashion and I'm not exempt to looking glamorous no matter what class bracket I'm in! Every girl deserves to look their absolute best. So the next time your thinking you can't pull something off and wanting to hit the envy button; know that you rock girl! Confidence is so beautiful.

In addition, don't forget 360 Vintage Designs located in Virginia Beach Virginia let's you accomplish just this exact look for less! The expert owner Ms. Tracey really knows her eras and makes vintage shopping affordable and fun. Hope you enjoy a couple of pieces from her store that completed my ultimate Hollywood Glam look, enjoy!

Satchel Purse or Satchel Paige?

This post was inspired by legends; at least legends in my eyes. If you know me at all you know that I'm a born and raised a Yankees fan. In my list of heroes there are fashion Gods and then there are baseball Gods. From the Great Bambino himself all the way to my favorite Yankee of all time Derek Jeter, these men have inspired me for years in their dedication to their craft. Today's post features me standing in front of Satchel Paige's mural right outside of the New York Yankee stadium. Leroy "Satchel" Paige was a Hall of Fame African American pitcher who played in both the Negro and Major Leagues. Joe DiMaggio once called Paige, "the best and fastest pitcher I've ever faced." Today's outfit coincides with the great satchel himself. I'm sporting one of my fave new pieces, my plum leather satchel from Richmond's Lou Lou boutique (compliments of Austin). This purse inspired the theme of my whole outfit. Pinks and purples are my favorite shades but you rarely see me sporting them. But today's pink and purple combo was priceless. While I'm still on the search for a new chapter of my life and continuing to strive for positivity; like a baseball game..."You win a few, you lose a few. Some get rained out. But you got to dress for all of them."-Satchel Paige
