Though I rarely watch videos anymore, the MTV VMA‘s are still one of my favorite award shows to watch, and I don’t think there’s a year I’ve missed since it started. I grew up with MTV, waiting at my VCR to press record so I could have all my favorites on hand for beauty and …
For 100 years, Vanity Fair lingerie has been the brand that women look to for undeniable support, lift and a little bit of luxury. 100 Years!!! When I was a little girl and we’d visit my grandma’s house, the first thing I’d do was run into her bedroom, fling open her accordian closet doors and …
This is a sponsored post by Chippmunk… all opinions are my own. LeRoy and Bebop ready for Christmas ~ LAST YEAR! December is FLYING BY and I haven’t done ANY Christmas shopping yet! This can be a problem since we don’t have access to that many stores up here in the mountains and I have …
I keep seeing the trailer for the new movie called The Way Way Back, a coming of age story that takes place during a teenager’s summer vacation and it’s taking me way, way back to one of my family trips as a teen… Why do parents always think road trips are going to be fun? …
I love getting to review beauty products, because well, who wouldn’t? And along with being a major perk of being a fashion/beauty blogger, I fall in love with new products that I may not have had a chance to otherwise. AND THEN I get to share my fun finds with you 🙂 So recently and …
Looks oddly similar to our old master bedroom, no? 😉I tend to be one of those people who doesn’t paint every room in her house a different color. I like neutrals, I like consistency, and I don’t like walking into a room of a house that doesn’t look like it fits with the rest of …
A few weeks ago I made my first trip down the snowy mountain, back to sunny Los Angeles, to meet up with designer Karen Zambos. We met at her amazing design studio downtown in the Fashion District to chat about her newest collections and red carpet style. What’s incredibly awesome about getting to interview Karen …
I was that annoying girl who loved high school. Correction: I was that even more annoying girl who loved going to school because she got to see all of her friends and be social and hang out and talk through her classes. I rarely missed school because I feared missing out on some important social …
In my late teens, when I was about 19 I think and doing a lot of vintage shopping, I began to view my wardrobe as a collection. I have pieces in my closet that I’ve had since the ’90s, some that were my mom’s from the ’70s, and more from my grandma that were from …
Glamour July 1942 American Flags by Roger Kahan Tuesday, November 6, 2012 is election day and it’s got me thinking in red, white, and blue and everything Americana! President Obama is the first president I ever voted for… and if I were alive in the 60’s I would have voted for Kennedy as well. These …
Fashion trends are fun. They’re new and different and when we’re wearing them, somehow make us feel like we’re part of the elite fashion crowd, even if only to ourselves. But the key to building a long-lasting and polished wardrobe that will stand the test of time, guarantee you look stylish for decades, and keep …
Last week I received the box of Vanity Fair® bras and underwear I’d have to wear for an upcoming review and, upon first glance, I quickly shoved them back into the box. I initially didn’t like what I saw and I absolutely will not “push” a product that I’m not in love with. But a …
Gone are the days of women feeling like they have to dress like a man in a man’s world to be taken seriously in the workplace. Wearing the power suits popular in the 80’s and/or even forced to endure long days squeezed into flesh-toned pantyhose, even worn UNDER your pants is a thing of the …
Among all the things I wanted to be when I was a child, artist was high on my list… next to ballerina, veterinarian, and fashion &/or interior designer, of course. As I grew up and tried my hand at many things, art and expressing myself through art was still a huge part of who I …
It seems I’ve been locked up in my home office for months now, finishing projects, blogging, and most importantly, writing my book. With the end of April came my final deadline to hand my manuscript in to my publisher. And after months of hard work, I am proud to say that I am finally finished! …
