Throwback Thursday (a day early) and some Christmas Cookies with King Arthur Flour

by alimackin@gmail.com
I am sharing this Throwback Thursday a day early as this Thursday is Christmas Eve and this way you have a whole day to make these cookies in time for the holiday. Last year was the first year I did this, I thought it would be complicated—like you had to be Martha Stewart or a professional baker to pull this off. But it was easier then I thought.

A Mango Winter Coat, A J Crew Sweater and a Fun Winter Look

by alimackin@gmail.com
I have been wanting to pick up a non body con coat for quite some time now. I have a couple of winter coats that are form fitting which I do like, but it can make wearing blazers and bulky sweaters a bit difficult. So when I spied this extra long double breasted man tailored coat at Mango, I knew I had to have it.

Stella McCartney Resort 2016 for Lookbook Friday

by alimackin@gmail.com
One can see and embrace the sheer joy of textiles in Stella McCarney’s resort collection for 2016. With a vaguely nostalgic stance the garments in this line up combine the minimalist relaxed fit approach of simple streamlined cuts with generous draping and unexpected “embellishments” of sudden swaths of cloth. Balancing this more austere aesthetic are retro aline dresses, swingy tea length frocks, flowing maxis

Red Valentino Spring 2016 for Lookbook Friday

by alimackin@gmail.com
Enchanting, sexy and uber feminine Valentino’s Red line is a celebration of youth while unabashedly embracing the female form. And the collection for Spring 2016 is a playful expression of this girlie exuberance with sophisticated elements of quite elegance. Bows, tulle, satin, leather and lace used throughout the collection ground it in a textural landscape of tactile romance while delicate touches of embroidery and eyelet details lend an air of bohemian free spiritedness.

Tarte Holidaze a Fun, Chic and Glamorous Gift for the Beauty Lover in Your Life

by alimackin@gmail.com
Yes it is that time of year again. Time to brave the crowds and the cold and head to shops. I usually do my Christmas shopping through out the year as I do not like crowds and can be put off by large crowds, especially in stores. I just can not concentrate in large crowds of people. But this year I was so busy that some how time got away from me and I just didn’t manage to do my Christmas in July shopping.
