When I found my favorites by Blank Denim last year, I bought …
I actually really love this. I love it because it’s not only ridiculously easy to make, but it’s pretty, versatile, and you can wear it alone as a bracelet, as shown here, or poking out from sleeves of a sweater {if you make two}, or even layered over the cuffs of a silk blouse. I …
I partnered with Maui Jim for their #ShareTheWOW campaign and I’m not going to lie, I was so impressed when I got my new aviator sunglasses and tried them on, that I may have even said WOW! Seriously! Here’s why… I can NEVER find aviators that fit my big head AND look right. Most of …
Though we hung our little white Christmas lights around our house at the beginning of November, I’m just now getting started decorating for Christmas on the inside.

Okay yes, they’re a little expensive for slippers, but they’re so cute I can’t even handle it AND they’re eco-friendly, 100% natural, and handmade and customized for kids and adults. They’re kind of the perfect gift for so many people, if you’ve got the budget. The bunny slippers {in white and gray} and the “mommy …
A few months ago, I think it was early Summer actually, I was flipping through a magazine and spotted heeled boots with black flowers all over them and fell in love. I initially wanted to DIY them to wear with my heeled boots but I actually like them better now with these shorty Caraby boots …
