Shauna has become a favorite flikr poster of mine. When I saw her post this outfit recently, I had to share it with you all. What is so striking about this look is her vibrant blue Lark and Wolff dress (side note: did you know there are a plethora of different shades of blue with [...]

This last Thursday I left for Portland for the first time. Although I didn’t get to see much of the city, I have to say what I did see was lovely. We were more on the outskirts and suburbs, and I loved the way the town was nestled into hills and evergreens. As predicted it [...]

I first saw Carey Mulligan in Pride and Prejudice and knew that she was talented (actually, I loved all the sisters in this remake). There is something about her that is not traditionally beautiful but catches my eye and keeps growing on me. From her sweet pixie cut to her innocent looking face, I’ve become [...]

At only 23 years old, she was recently discovered after posting YouTube videos of her performing self-written songs of her love and her life. Her soulful voice and folksy sound is what drew me in, and she is my [...]

I am on a skirt fix. If it weren’t so darn cold (I admit, coldness is one thing that I allow to detract from my style), I’d wear them more often. Since today provided a hint of sun, I decided to pull out one of my recent purchases: this beautiful, printed skirt from Urban Outfitters. [...]

I love Martha Stewart. I always say my dream is to be Martha and Rachel Zoe in one package (with an Oprah-sized reach!). So whenever I can, I watch Martha during the day and browse her site for tips and how-tos. Something I’ve been wanting to research was how to make my house smell good [...]

My husband gave me this great idea to go through his iPhone pictures and make a mini timeline of my style progression. He lovingly but very embarrassingly takes candid pictures of me all the time with his phone; for example, we’ll be walking in a store and he’ll randomly run in front of me and [...]

For the past couple of weeks I’ve been working furiously to put together a comprehensive e-book to get you totally prepared for Spring 2010 fashion and beauty. After hours of drooling over images of my favorite designer’s runway looks, I finally pieced together my favorite outfits, trends, and beauty techniques. 30 pages later, I finally [...]

Say what you may about Whitney Thomspon’s win on America’s Next Top Model, but I thought it was nice seeing a “plus sized” girl win. And despite many of her critics’ claims of there being no work for a plus sized model, Whitney seems to be doing just fine. In fact, Forever21’s plus sized line, [...]

I’m just super excited because I got my first pair of higher end designer shoes for a really great price from HauteLook.

I love honey. There’s something so earthy, raw, sustaining about that golden syrup and I can’t get enough. According to some science and a lot of old wive’s tales, honey is really good for your health and beauty. Not only does it taste great, but it is a good natural immunization booster, antioxidant, and energizer. [...]

I made a post a few weeks ago about the hot paperbag waist trend. I thought I’d try the look out myself, and this is what I came up with: I also promised my friend Emmy that I would figure out how to wear fishnets and look classy. Her wonderfully conservative Bulgarian mother told her all [...]
