I’m singing and dancing in the shower In fact, I’m happier when music is playing, period. I know I’m not alone in this sentiment, I can’t be. Music is universal. The right song can take me out of a funk within seconds. My very old green apple iPod mini – all dirty and beaten up, …
Giorgio Armani Whether it be a new silhouette, an old silhouette that feels new again, a color scheme, or a fine detail, flipping through upcoming designer collections is always something that inspires me to look through my own closet with a freshly creative eye.

I bore quite easily of my own reflection in the mirror so playing with different hairstyles and makeup can quickly and painlessly alter my appearance, risk-free.

Just an easy two-step manicure that ramps up your shimmer polish by simply beginning with a matte polish in a similar hue underneath. Keep a nail out for an accent if you’d like. This rich grayish blue hue with shimmer makes my nails look like black pearls and I love it! It’s the perfect Fall …
What I’m Wearing* Vintage patchwork leather jacket …tags are all cut out, in fact, this thing is so ancient, most of the lining is ripping out around the armholes. But I so love it. I found it at a thrift shop probably over ten years ago and have worn it off and on ever since. …
