A few days ago I accidentally stumbled upon a forum of women who were spending much of their day badmouthing me on the internet {it wasn’t the first time and I’m sure it won’t be the last} but one of them, who thought she was exceptionally clever, said she was pretty sure I smelled like …

Pearl Encrusted Deep V t-shirt DIY
I’m always worried now when I have an idea for a DIY that one of the other DIY bloggers has already done it. Sadly I don’t have time any more to look at too many blogs so please know that if someone else has done this, it’s by complete coincidence that I have too. I …

Vintage Nail Art ~ Water Decals
I’ve had these Raemon Becca “Toucons” nail decals and glitter gold polish since the 80’s. In fact, I just looked at the back of the little envelope and it says: Beverly Hills 1982 – (I was 6). I’m not even kidding. AND, I think they were hand-me-downs at that. Like someone was cleaning out their …

My New Marc Jacobs Bag…
When the first check for my book arrived, the husband hinted that I should reward myself for all my hard work and buy something with it. This was probably not the smartest thing the husband could have said at that particular moment because up until that point, I had planned on heading straight to the …
Just… Pretty
Pinterest is a place to save all the pretty photos we find on the internet and keep them organized in one place. An inspiration board of sorts. But I have so many photos now that weeding through them to find anything is getting a bit tiresome. One of my favorite boards is called Just plain …

White on White // My January Mantelscape
I wasn’t quite ready to box up all my pretty floral Christmas tree ornaments just yet, so I found a new home for them on the cow skull above the fireplace… the horns to be exact. The purple and blues actually work really well against the facing dark gray walls of my living room and …
