Somewhere in the early 2000’s Coach went all logo-ey on me and I’m sad to say that I jumped ship. There was a certain type of woman who was buying into that look, and it wasn’t my style. Since then I haven’t given Coach much thought let alone, the benefit of the doubt. I’m not …
I instantly fell in love with these pretty little dried flowers the other day while randomly browsing Amazon’s nail art products and because they were only $5.00 for the set {looks like flowers vary} I instantly added them to my cart & checked out. I was even more impressed when I saw them in person… …
Last year for Delilah’s birthday, I got these adorable pewter lace up oxford style kids shoes for her and unfortunately she wasn’t a fan and rarely chose to wear them. I didn’t take it personally though, she has a fondness for all things pink and purple at the moment and I know she’ll grow into …

I LOVE this project from Holly at In the Fun Lane for so many reasons but mostly because these large matchboxes that are so handy to have around are also so ugly to look at! And since they last forever, you have to look at the ugly box for the longest time {oh oh oh, …
In our quest to find our dream house {Spanish style homes or houses built in the late 50’s-early 60’s}, which are millions of dollars in Los Angeles and under $400K everywhere else in between here and NYC, it seems, the husband and I have begun looking just outside LA to hopefully find something comparable. I …
When I saw these Brian Atwood Flower Sandals {on sale in white for $860} I fell head over heels and then immediately thought about my DIY Flower Hair Clips I made specifically as decorations for my Christmas tree last year. I couldn’t resist whipping up my own pair because it was just too easy! Even …
What I’m Wearing… * Marc by Marc Jacobs sleeveless trench dress… yes, it’s actually a dress! But I bought it fully intending on wearing it as an overcoat of sorts. I found it at a GILT sale but you can find it here on sale. Or buy the shorter Burberry version * Striped jersey long-sleeve …
I know I’ve seen hair tutorials for the little half ponytail hair bow and for the Lady Gaga top-o-the-head style hair bow, but I had never seen one quite like this and I had to try it out. I thought the steps were easy enough to follow without a video so I tried something new …
If you’re a long-time reader of my blog, this post title may sound a little familiar to you… for those of you in the dark, back in the beginning, when I first began posting my outfits here {in late 2008}, I was a little embarrassed about the narcissistic nature of the whole thing. So to …
What I’m Wearing * Leaf print full skirt from Forever21 years ago… see it here in 2009* Vintage peachy/rust blouse, tied/knotted… seen here as an overshirt* Panama hat from a little hat shop in Palm Springs … also seen here* Vintage green rhinestone necklace and bracelet* Joseph Mimi rings* Gucci large cat eye sunglasses* Pour …
Handmade in Texas by Alyson Fox, I love these beaded necklaces strung on long leather cording… the fabulous vintage deadstock beads are both surprising in shape and color combinations as is the choice of white leather and brass and copper contrasts. I really just love them. I personally, would want to wear mine short, but …
My husband and I eloped and got married in 2006 and just about a year later we stopped trying NOT to get pregnant. We were both 31 years old at the time and we decided it was time to start “trying” to have a baby. Now, let me start by saying that I have a …
Admittedly, the 13 year old teenage girl in me feels a certain void on Monday evenings when her favorite guilty pleasure is on hiatus… or shall I say in between seasons, and desperately longs for its scandalous return come Fall {Oct.8}. That’s right, I’m talking about Gossip Girl and if you’re a fan too, I …
I’m seriously in love with these alice + olivia ~ Dina Single Sole Black Snakeskin Pumps from Shopbop. They are the perfect combo of a simple and classic pump with sleek and sexy lines and a subtle pointed toe… and the 4 inch heel isn’t deadly to walk on. In fact a 4″ heel is …
