Back in my heyday, my girls and I would walk through the 10th Ward, in New Orleans, wearing jean mini-skirts and Daniel Green Slippers with cute little socks and Headwraps to match.

We had a tendency to equate spending more money with being on point too. With stores like Stein Mart around, shopping for brand names ...

Shorts and Coulettes are something to look forward to once the hot summer months start to roll in. Styles including those pieces are fun and perfect for staying cool during the blazing heat just like dresses and skorts which are a Mom favorite at Stein Mart.

This past week not only have I purchased a sweater, I have actually started wearing long sleeves. Not just for outside either because I live in a house that gets really drafty around this time of year so I like to wear sleeves to keep the cold c...

We told you about Donald Trump hosting SNL because it's relevant to Pop Culture.  All of the same voters who voted for Obama are now pondering how their vote will make a difference while watching Trump spread his Cripple America Message.

Meanwhile, there is another Trump being noticed.  It's Ivanka Trump, Donald's perky daughter.  Though her name keeps reminding me of the Taaka Vodka Brand, as I slightly chuckle at the idea of how odd that really is, I have to respect her grind.  On her Blog,...

As you can see, at Stein Mart our Storefront Window(s) helped us to celebrate Memorial Day, as we displayed fashionable ideas. At Abornewords, we encouraged you to focus on using themed interior design for Memorial Day, as a way to honor our Veterans all year long. I wore an outfit to work themed for the occasion, as did so many shoppers. Bodies adored with patriotic colors were everywhere it seemed. From accessories to handbags and shoes, it was on. There are many other ways to help keep the...
