I shot a few photos the other day of my office decor progress and was editing them to share with you when I realized I never posted any “before” shots. So I went through my archives and found a few photos I took before we moved in, some while we were on a quick overnight …
Find me on Instagram to see these in real time. 1. Just okay waves…2. I tried these large spongy, bendy, sticks in my damp, un-brushed hair, to see if I could get messy beach waves without heat. It didn’t really give me the results I wanted, but I used only 4 curlers. I’ll give it …
* My UNFINISHED vanity area above * As unfortunate as it is that I can’t have my double lamps on my console table behind my sofa in my living room, I’m making up for it in my new home office. Using the same Ikea 3-drawer dressers that my husband and I bought for our first …
I don’t like to buy things needlessly {unless they go on my feet ;} and I love repurposing my old furniture and home decor into new rooms and new uses. In fact, I get really excited about it. Kind of like DIYing something new to wear from something that was about to get donated! But …
So happy to share a recent feature in Sew Magazine {sewmag.co.uk} of my easy DIY Tassel Curtains in which I turned store-bought curtain panels into unique, custom drapes for very little extra cost. * Find my original DIY Here I quickly, easily, and loosely hand-stitched the tassel trim onto the inner edges just in case …
Wow. We have been in our new house for just over a week and it already feels like a month has passed! Our original moving date was mid-month but due to snowy conditions, we pushed it up to the 5th and I’m so happy we did. We are new to all this snow stuff, so …
I was really looking forward to last week. Firstly because it offered some R&R from the week prior, which had me buzzing around like a chicken with its head cut off {and may or may not have ended in a mini break-down}. Secondly, it was voting week! Not only did we as Americans get to …

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}. However, not everyone is on Instagram and/or Facebook & Twitter and therefore missing out… or …
What I’m Wearing… * Floral pencil wiggle dress from Asos on sale now for $55… runs a tad big, fyi {but is 98% cotton and will shrink in the wash – tip, hang it dry}. Here’s a cute PETITE version in black* DIY Leather Belt * Giuliana Rancic for LOFT necklace* Christian Louboutin sling-back heels… …
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 …
This week will go down in history as one of the top 5 craziest weeks of my life. Yes, I feel a little dramatic even just typing that but it really has been insane. My manuscript was due to my publisher on Monday and admittedly, I’m a few days late in sending it in. Oh …
The late designer Alexander McQueen‘s collections are always more of a walking art exhibit to me than ready to wear or even couture fashion. Though the dress above, sans all the extras, is pure perfection! His creativity is beyond amazing, but not so much wearable for the everyday woman. The latest collection for the brand …
I actually created and planned this hair tutorial last week then randomly watched the Elie Saab Spring Couture show and realized my creation was a very similar style to the hair worn in the show. And though it is gorgeous, it wasn’t my original inspiration but I felt a bit obligated to refer to it. …
What I’m Wearing* Vintage 70’s animal print dress {most similarly to a giraffe print but I could be off} & included tie belt from Etsy shop Jantiques. She has some great vintage finds for really reasonable prices! I also got my halloween “Betty Draper” dress from her. * Hat: is by THE AMAZING Spring Canyon …
