As I near 40, my closet continues to shape itself up in a way I’m happy with. Never one to identify with a “signature style”, my shopping habits, and therefore my closet, has always been a mashup of both feminine and boyish styles; some bold prints tempered back to a endless sea of grays, blacks […]
Midi Pleated Skirt – Target; Short Sleeve Tee – Splendid; Bag – Nordstrom, also seen here and here; Shoes – Shoemint Faith, on sale for $34.99!; Necklace – Vince Camuto I’ve had a love interest in midi skirts for a couple of years now, as evidenced here and here. The problem is, it’s hard to […]
The women in my family have been dying our hair at home for as long as I can remember. A visit to my Grandma’s house involves as many memories of her feeding me homemade enchiladas as it does watching her walk around with a plastic shower cap on her head, waiting for the coloring process. […]
When I was in Lake Arrowhead with my boot camp group for Oktoberfest, I made my first ever Moscow Mule. I didn’t realize how crazy easy they were to make, as the copper mugs they are traditionally served in, always made them seem like some elusive, intimidating cocktail that only the hippest of bartenders could […]

I think it’s safe to say that most of us, when walking through a department store, do everything in our power to avoid the fragrance lady standing at the entrance to the cosmetic department, or strategically placed at the bottom of the escalator. If we do happen to make eye contact (big mistake), we either politely […]
One of the best decisions I made this year was to take advantage of some of the wonderful connections I’ve made through blogging, by hiring two fabulous contributors. Alix and Lindsey have been a saving grace for me this past year as I’ve battled fatigue, occasional lack of creativity, and continual brain fog. Some question […]
Wowwee, what an interesting week it’s been. Two years ago during election week, I probably alienated several friends on Facebook, so this week I took it easy and kept my mouth mostly zipped, as I’ve learned that Facebook and politics don’t really mix. But still, politics in general both fascinate and simultaneously depress me, so […]
