My love affair with the color pink began the day my mother told me I couldn’t wear it.

“Redheads can’t wear pink” she said.

While my schoolmates sported this beautiful color in various shades, I would never get to experience it for myself.

Until the ’80s.

The decade that brought us two movies that changed my wardrobe forever!

‘Pretty In Pink’ and ‘Steel Magnolias’.

Rebellious redheads Andie Walsh(Molly Ringwald) and Shelby Eatenton (Julia Roberts) sported this color, despite their hair color.

From that point on, my mothers outdated rules were thrown out the window.

And like Shelby, Pink became my signature color!

With that in mind, I put together this ensemble in various shades of Blush and Bashful, Shelby’s wedding colors.

I started with the Carmen Color Block Saffiano Leather Belted Satchel. It’s available in two sizes!

The Dylan Quilted Leather Espadrille in Smokey Rose, and and the Ryder Embossed Silicone and Rose Gold Tone Watch could have easily been in Andie’s closet.

Keeping with the Movie theme, no Hollywood Starlet would be caught out without some Signature Shades.

These Sydney Sunnies come in Four different shades. But of course I chose pink.

Don’t let anyone tell you what you can or cannot wear.

Michael Kors will keep you Pretty In Pink!

Face it, life has thrown a bunch of lemons our way lately.

So Michael Kors put them on a shirt!!!

This Lemon Cotton Poplin Shirt is screaming Summer Vibes and Lemonade.

I added the Priya Leather And Jute Sandal in the color Lemon (of course).

I finished the look with a pop of green with the Jade Extra Small Leather Crossbody Bag in Moss.

Life is what you make it. You can let the Lemons sour you or you can squeeze them and make lemonade. It’s your choice!

This cartoon is funny, but it’s message rings true.

With the Covid-19 Pandemic, face masks have become a way of life.

Many people are finding ways to let their personality show through the mask they wear.

Here’s 10 (ok 11) small businesses making the latest, necessary trend.

1. L. Howard Artistry In Leather

I’ve been a fan of his bags for years. He’s taken the same elegant craftsmanship and made these luxurious masks.

‘Tailored to the Culture’ is the mindset of designer Al Bowman.

His Upscale Urban Wear is a reflection of the world around him. So it’s only fitting that he created a mask that goes along with his esthetic.

4. UnDaunted

Classy and Sassy are two ways to describe these designs.

A majority of stores and workplaces are requiring masks during this time.

Let’s make the best of it. Show your personality. Make a fashion statement. And support a small business.

Another blog with a twist. Two twists actually.

I don’t have a completed outfit to show due to the Michael Kors Stores still being closed.

And unlike the previous ones, this blog is for the Guys!!!

The inspiration for this outfit was the Greyson Logo Leather Field Backpack.

I love the royal blue and black combo.

I paired it with the Slim Fit Color Block Stretch Cotton shirt.

I finished the look with the Lucas Knit and Rubberized Leather Trainer in the coordinating colors.

Fashion isn’t just for the ladies!!! Michael Kors keeps everyone on trend!

This blog is a little different because, due to the world being closed, I haven’t been able to be in the store to take outfit pictures. So I don’t have a completed outfit pic.

I started the look with this Paisley Georgette Handkerchief Sleeve Dress. The muted green gives a vintage feel to this breezy, bohemian inspired dress.

The Tompkins Large Woven Leather Fringed Tote bag is the perfect carry all to go with the look.

I finished the look with the Garner Leather Studded Sandals in the Luggage color. The gladiator style straps and the burnished gold studs lend to the overall vibe.

As we re enter the world, make sure we’re doing it with style!

Well, the world is about to slowly open back up. So, what are we going to wear???

Once again Kristin came to my rescue by supplying me with an outfit pic. She has the best taste!!!

She started with the Floral Sequined T-Shirt Dress.

Sequins in the daytime is usually unheard of. But this dress gives you the best of both worlds.

Sparkles and florals that can be dressed up or dressed down.

The popular Keke makes an appearance in Suede Lavender Mist. It pulls the soft purple hues from the floral print of the dress.

She added the Delancey Canteen Crossbody. The silver hardware compliments the Snow White leather. And the round bag with the chain accents is so trendy right now.

This look was finished with the Draped Trench Coat in the same optic white.

Step back into the world in style with Michael Kors!

Right now we can only dream of warm summer days and oceans dotted with colorful Coral Reefs.

This outfit put together by my favorite SA Kristin will give you that that same vibe!

The center of attention is this Embellished Corded Lace Ruffle Hem Dress in Coral Peach.

The Becker Burnished Leather Platform Sandal provides the perfect contrast to the dress.

She added the Classic Whitney Shoulder Bag in the same burnished leather and antiqued gold hardware.

Michael Kors will have you ready when your dreams of Summer come true!
