Trend Thursday: Tassels

You may have noticed by now that I love a good tassel. Apparently I am not the only one, as the runways for Spring and Fall 2016 were trailing with tassels. They are so fun, fanciful, and free spirited. When it comes to fashion, tassels are tricky. If not done right, they can become tacky or overdone. Accessories are another story! That's were this trend really shines. 

HERE: Twelve Terrific Tassels

Love the flair that this long tassel adds to the poncho. Best yet, it is on sale now. You will wear it all Spring.

Point To Spring In Fabulous Flats

(Via Shoe WAWA)

It's time to sharpen up your shoe game for Spring. The pointy toe flat is back, and I just couldn't be happier.  My not so petite feet have rebelled against those ballerina shoes that have been walking the street for the last few years. Tried as hard as I could, but they just hurt.  I now am in shoe heaven.  A pointed toe is always sexy and powerful. And without a heel, your shoe can be comfortable as well.  The Pointed Toe Flat is a Must Have for Spring!
