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 …
I can watch this Marilyn Monroe Costume Test for Something’s Got to Give over and over. I’m not exactly sure what it is about it but I’m not sure she is either. She’s just trying to give them what they want. I think I’m having a moment…
Sometimes a simple and delicate necklace is all I’m looking for and while quite similar to my DIY rose gold charm bracelets, the simple curved line of this one has a little more edge to it. Worn short or long, together or alone, or even layered with a few other chains, I think these simple …
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 …
What I’m Wearing… * Vintage white dress w/ embroidered gold polka dots by Ruth Chagnon… which fits like a dream and has become one of my absolute favorite pieces I own. I found it originally on Etsy way back in February of this year, but the shop has now moved to Parparian and they have …
I was recently introduced to the fabulous Joseph Mimi jewelry collection and asked to select a piece to add to my own personal collection {if I wanted, of course}. I chose the gold Chloe stackable rings from the The Jolie Collection, because they are my favorites. They are available as 1, 2, or 3 rings …
