New Purchases for the Home… a little here, a little there

But even though I can go back through my blog and see photos and read old posts like …
Spring 2013 Fashion Trends : 1. Far East Influences
While fashion’s all a buzz with Pre-Fall 2013 collections, I’ve been so preoccupied with moving and decor and home furnishings as of late {and dressing for my new freezing & fun snowy environment} that I have barely been paying attention to anything fashion-related at all {well, other than a bit of shopping here and there …

My InstaLife : Week 10/20-27
I realize that many bloggers do a weekly Instagram recap on their blogs and until now I thought it was a little redundant considering my Instagram photos also pop up on my Facebook page & Twitter {though sometimes they don’t}.

Spring Florals Nails // DIY Real Dried Flowers Manicure

Completely Gratuitous JEWELRY Post…
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 …
Get Your Seed Beads On
Tommy Ton ~ Style.com In the 90’s we all wore short single strands of seed bead necklaces with our school uniforms, particularly in Rasta colors or multi-colored hues, but I recall having a black and white one as well. When you wear a uniform to school, you tend to try to accessorize in ways that …
