Each year I’ve found it harder and harder to get as excited about the holidays as I used too. I remember as a child that the time from just before Halloween and up to New Years day was the absolute best time of the year. I attribute my growing holiday apathy to several things: less [...]

Lately I’ve become addicted to browsing through YouTube hair tutorials (have you noticed the plethora of Asian girls who create them!?). I’d been trying to figure out how the heck you curl your hair with a flat iron when I came across several that showed a simple wave technique for a messy, beach hair look. [...]

Last week I was featured in the Independent Fashion Blogger’s link roundup for my flat shoe how-to. Check out the other links selected along with me for some good reads! (and yes, I replaced one of the images with my own It’s my blog and I’ll do what I want tooooo!). Behind the clothes Edited [...]

The other day my Pandora choose to play British artist Jack Penate and I’ve been addicted since. A bit of a silly looking guy, his lyrics are heartfelt and sophisticated. Though he has been around since 2006 and has released 8 singles and 2 full albums, he is probably best know for his song Pull [...]

This past week I heard two golden “nuggets” that are both so simple, yet incredibly wise. So instead of giving you any lengthy explanations or personal anecdotes, let’s just jump right in: 1. If you want to make wise decisions, make sure you’ve had a decent amount of sleep beforehand. 2. If you want to [...]

My fall uniform: rolled legs, oxfords, a proper faux leather jacket, and a pop of color for fun I am one of those people who over-thinks every clothing purchase I make. I create lists, I go into stores with game plans, and I set budget caps. Case in point, I saw this beautiful blouse on UrbanOutfitters.com [...]

When fall and winter hit, boots are always a huge style topic. I’m sure we’ve all read dozens of blogs discussing how hot shearling detailing is, the best shaft height for your legs, and what to pair those adorable booties with! Today I thought I’d switch it up a bit and tackle this season’s boot [...]

I’m always on the lookout for a good cup of tea. Especially with fall finally full blown here in California, I probably drink on average two cups a day. So I decided to google around for some new brews beyond my basic English Teatime and Earl Grey. I came across a highly recommended brand called [...]

Last week my blogger friend Janine asked me to tackle different ways of wearing flats. While heels tend to hog the spotlight in the fashion world, I’m sure most of us have had those breaking moments of wanting to toss all our various pairs out (especially after a night of walking through the city). I [...]

The other day I read an article in the New York Times that discussed Americans’ fascination with cleanliness. Since the beginning of advertising, personal hygiene products have been big business because of our socially conditioned fear of stench. Apparently now, more than ever, we are obsessed with staying odor and germ free. But, according to [...]

What better time than Halloween to talk about fear? No matter what it is, from speaking in public to talking to a certain someone, from the dark or amusement park rides, to spiders and heights, or perhaps ultimately failure, we all have fears. The age old question is, how do we conquer them? A few [...]

*cheesy post title quota fulfilled* lol. My week has been terribly busy and I’m currently writing this post far too late at now yesterday night. On top of it all the weather has been cold and dreary (but in that cozy, lit fireplace kind of way), so oversized pieces have suddenly become my staple items. [...]
