DIY Bead & Skull Keychain

For the past two years I’ve carried around a wooden bead keychain that the kids made me for Mother’s Day.  I was always losing my keys in the bottom of my purse, so they thought (with some facilitating by my husband), bigger would be better.  The keychain is big alright, with each of their names […]

Pleats & Folds

(Skirt – Anthropologie last seen here; Top – old from local boutique Tullemoss; Sandals – Sam Edelman; Earrings & Bangle – Kate Spade; Necklace – DIY by me) Well turns out there’s nothing better to get you flexing your styling muscles than a pregnant belly.  I’m not so sure I’d normally put this look together […]

Be Neutral – Best Shades of Polish To Do Just That

While a bright pop of color is always a fun statement for a manicure, sometimes your mood, or an occasion, calls for you to go neutral and stick to a classic, timeless shade of beige of pale pink.  When I’m feeling like I’d rather my smile our my outfit to make the statement, not my […]

New Facebook Giveaway – Neon Glittery Notecards

Thanks to all you crazy kids that helped get me to 100 likes on Facebook!  As promised, another giveaway would be offered, this time a set of my neon glittery notecards.  Again, you could go out and make these yourself since I already showed you how, but if you don’t want to lift a finger, […]

Bag It Up – Weighing the Options

I buy a new handbag about once every two years. Aside from a couple of clutches for evenings out or special events that I’ve either bought or made for myself, I carry the same bag day in and day out, trash it to hell and then buy a new one when the current one starts […]

This Is Me

If you’re here from my other blog, you know that I’m not afraid to be honest and open.  Perhaps a bit too much sometimes.  If you’re new though, you probably don’t know that by just looking around this space.  I’ve been blogging continuously for over 2 years now, and my other blog has always been […]

Pieces Worth Investing In Part 1 – Apparel

A while back when I asked for feedback on posts you’d like to see on the blog, someone mentioned that I should do a segment on pieces worth investing in, which I thought was a brilliant idea!  I decided to split it up into 2 posts, one for apparel and one for accessories.  I read […]

Daily Style – Coldplay & Neon

(Top – from local boutique; Long Sleeve T – James Perse; Jeans – Gap Maternity; Boots – Dolce Vita; Jacket – Nordstrom BP Dept; Gold Bangle – Kate Spade) I’m still in the slightly delusional stage where I think I can buy myself a non-maternity item here and there and it will continue to work […]

Daily Style – Sweet Peter Pan

(Blouse – ASOS Maternity; Jeans – Pea In the Pod Maternity; Shoes – old BCBG; Bangles – Kate Spade; Necklace – F21; Preston Glasses – Warby Parker) Blouses and dresses with Peter Pan collars are usually not my first choice in silhouettes, but this little top stole my heart nonetheless.  I tried to play down […]
