Faux fur has come a long way from looking cheap and feeling coarse, to looking luxurious and feeling nearly as supple as the real deal. While some people don’t mind wearing fur, others cringe at the thought, which is why the faux fur industry is booming. And while understandably, real fur is warm, faux fur …
This is a sponsored post & FAB giveaway on behalf of Walgreens and P&G… All opinions are my own! The holiday season and end of the year is a time to reflect, give thanks, and give, give, give back! And this December, this space, has been packed full of giveaways and here’s another one to …
There’s something about a short and boxy jacket that will forever remind me of Chanel and Jackie O. The now-classic boxy tweed jacket, a prim and proper look, made famous by the aforementioned brunette beauties, is a great investment piece to keep in your wardrobe, as it always is stylish. However when you think of …
As a fashion, lifestyle, & beauty blogger, I’m sent a ton of products to try out. Some have been part of sponsored posts and others were simply gifted products. If you’re a blogger, you probably understand this. Earlier in the month I wrote about all the beauty products I’ve been sent to review that I …
Pinterest is a master at the art of time suckage, to quote the movie Reality Bites. It can suck us all in for hours and hours, as we pour over and pin perfectly pretty and somewhat unrealistic photos of what inspires us to create a more beautiful life. But sometimes we get lost in a …
Jumpsuits can be urban, they can be high fashion, they can have a hint of ’70s disco or ’80s glam, and they can even be black tie. And while dresses are a fabulous option for holiday parties and NYE, especially, a jumpsuit may be the chic and sexy alternative that will make you stand out …

Jamberry Nails sent me a fun packet of nail art wrap designs to try out over a month ago but I’ve been giving my nails a rest to rejuvenate. After months of weekly nail art manicures, they start losing their vitality, and begin cracking, and breaking daily, and so I generally like to give them …

I LOVE fashion books. They make gorgeous vignettes for coffee tables. They look like beautiful decor simply stacked randomly around the house. And if you actually take a peek inside, not only do you find terrific photos, but descriptive insights into so many aspects of the fashion industry. They’re like opening the door to a …
By drollgirl Amanda Friedman’s Night Landscapes series is utterly mesmerizing. Transporting us from our busy and chaotic lives, these photographs reveal a simple, beautiful, and a somewhat eerie solitude. By honing in on form, color and contrast, Friedman captures the peace, calm and beauty that we don’t always appreciate in our daily lives. Notice her …
It’s difficult not to like Alexa Chung, try as I might, it’s actually impossible. She’s too “real” and too honest for me to really hold onto anything that would make me dislike her, though I don’t stop trying. I recently read her book IT and though it was a little boring, I’d read it again …

Last year I was obsessed with the Dolce & Gabbana Kids Holiday Collection so I had to go back this year to get a peek at the latest in ridiculously-expensive-but-adorably-cute-and-fabulous-designer-clothing-for-children, and it’s just as cute.
