Sunday Spotlight - Style for the Seasons


Name: Sara
Blog: Style for the Seasons
Blog URL: www.stylefortheseasons.com
Type of Blog: Fashion
What is your favorite reason to be a blogger?
My favorite reason to be a blogger is to connect with people I wouldn't normally run into on a daily basis. Whether it is making new friends through blogging or keeping in touch with friends across the world, I love the way the blogging community helps keep people in touch with one another even when they live so far apart.

What major city is closest to you?
Washington, DC

Does Washington, DC influence or help shape your style, your blog, and/or your personality?
I think that living in the DC Metro Area heavily influences the way I dress. I grew up on the West Coast and had to completely change my wardrobe after moving to DC. The styles out here are so different but I think that my look still has a little bit of West Coast influence.

What can we expect from Style for the Seasons in the next coming months?
I am hoping to have more collaborations, linkups and giveaways in the upcoming months. My blog is still pretty new so I am looking for new and exciting ideas all the time.

Who are your Fashion/Makeup Icons?
While I look to bigger names to inspire my styles, a lot of the people I look to for inspiration are other bloggers. I try to find those who have a similar, classic style and see if they can inspire me in ways those on the runway cannot.

If you could live anywhere in the world where would you be and why?
If I could live anywhere in the world, I would live in one of two places: San Diego or London. I know that these two cities are so different which is why it makes the decision so hard. The weather and lifestyle in San Diego are ideal but something about me really wants to pick up my life and move to another county. London is a destination I have been dying to visit for years and I think that I would really love living there (although, I may need to buy a few more umbrellas if I do).

What other blogs would you like to see spotlighted on Nicole’s Revolution?
I am a huge fan of Emily from Blue Dog Belle. Her blog always has great posts, her twitter feed is hilarious and she is a really sweet girl when you meet her. I'd recommend Emily!

Fun Question: You have been given $500,000. What would you do with it?
If I were given $500,000, I am not sure where I would start. First, I would probably pay off my boyfriend's school debt. Then, I would plan a trip to Europe and bring my family and a few friends. I thinking that traveling and sharing experiences together is priceless. With the money I had left over, I would probably have to purchase a few new bags. Every girl needs more purses, right?

Thank you to Style for the Seasons for her interview!

Fashion Friday - A Beachy Confession

It's time for Fashion Friday yet again.  This week the D.C. area (and pretty much everyone below Canada) has hit a HUGE heat wave!  When I say huge I mean HUGE!  99 degrees...and it isn't even JULY people!  Yesterday temperatures raised to a hundred degrees but.... felt more like 106-110 because of the horrible humidity!!!  Dumb D.C. area!  I love you but why must you be so stinkin' humid! [Thank goodness I am traveling to Maine again this summer for a little relief!]

This weather makes me long for the beach.  Dropping my toes in the water and soaking up some much needed sun to give my wintery skin a nice healthy glow (yes, I am aware there is some slight controversy over the sun but I am responsible and only spend time in the sun outside of the danger hours; 10-2).  I just love removing the sand from every crevice my tote bag and cooler!  So annoying!

I have, however, a confession to admit: (*Singing Usher's Confession song as I type...Old Skool BABY!*)

Although I love the beach, I rarely EVER get to go.  And I am never quite comfortable in a bathing suit since, well ever!  It's gotten worse since I had a baby!  Bikini's are a definite "NO GO!"  I haven't worn one since my belly started to show with my daughter over seven years ago.  Mostly, I usually wear Tankini's but they really feel weird lately and I am tired of feeling weird!  So I have been searching for a bathing suit that will be my "go to" suit for the summer and to my surprise I am falling in love with one piece suits.  This is very strange for me since I kind of always had some sort of bathing suit complex since my mom made me do the swim team as a kid.  [DISCLAIMER: There is nothing wrong with "swim team;" it was just wrong that I was "made" to do it and I hated everything about it including the swimwear!]  I digress...

I am loving that one piece suits are making a fierce comeback.  And they are actually cute, not like those ugly Speedo's!  *SHOCKER*  For Fashion Friday I put together another Polyvore creation of what is not only an adorable suit by Kenneth Cole [***ALERT: ON SALE FOR $50 at MACY'S!!!***] but a typical outfit I would show up to the beach with.  P.S. I LOVE Pink & GREEN!
