There’s nothing quite like a fun outfit that takes it up a notch, but isn’t overly dressy. That’s why I love this outfit: it’s got interest, it’s fun, comfortable, and not too dressy. The piece that goes with every outfit is my EDC (Everyday Carry) Tablet Bag. Secret: I don’t usually have a tablet …

Spring Layers
Raise your hand if you’re ready for spring? Unfortunately in Michigan spring is a fickle friend that teases us with her 60 degrees days of sun then tortures us with her snow dusting. So while Mother Nature tries to decide what season it is I’ll be over here layering with pieces like this colorful scarf …
Mas Amor, Por Favor
This week has been rough. Scratch that, this month has been rough. I don’t know if it’s the cold or lack of sun or the general doldrums that is waiting for spring but I have been struggling. I’m not normally one for wallowing but I have found myself in need of a mindset makeover. More …

Petite Picks
Being petite has its perks. You can curl up in a coach class airplane seat, legroom is never a problem, and you can wear the highest heels in the world and not tower over your man. That said, there are definitely challenges, the most significant being finding clothes that fit. While every body type has …

Bow-Ties and Boy Bags
When I chose the name The House Blend for my site it was for the concept of blending the things I’m passionate about into one blog. I knew I would start with my personal style but I also knew I wanted to incorporate men’s fashion as well. Thankfully my hubby is a total model! Would you believe …
