I’m not sure if any other place epitomizes fashion quite as well as Paris. While it might be debatable to call it the most stylish city in the world, there is no doubt that Parisians must have a chic gene. What I loved most going through these different images was how different the styles range – from [...]

Saturday marks the first year of marriage to my wonderful husband Jony. I can’t believe how fast the time has gone, but I guess when you’ve been dating for almost 8 years beforehand, one year is nothing! I am so blessed to have such an amazing husband: he’s Godly, he’s a hard and faithful worker, [...]

My sister and I have always had similar taste in music. Being seven years older than me, she’s been a huge influence in shaping my listening habits (e.g. what seven year old’s favorite song is “Black Hole Sun”?!). But it’s always been a somewhat delayed reaction – I find myself loving types of genres I [...]

Murky brown is not a color you’d readily consider beautiful. It’s definitely not a color you’d picture wearing from head to toe. But, I tend to be the type of person who thinks “why not” when it comes to fashion. Quite honestly I think conventions can take a hike because, generally speaking, the most stylish [...]

This year we celebrated Labor Day with some amazing food and friends, with a dash of games and karaoke thrown in. Everyone brought their own meat to grill and a side dish to share – talk about good food overload! My contribution was butter steamed carrots with rosemary and brown sugar. Unfortunately I undercooked them [...]

A recent episode of the Rachel Zoe Project had me craving some moda Italiana (I have no idea if I said that right)! For today’s style expedition, we travel to the streets of Italy, landing largely in one of the fashion capitals of the world, Milan. Feast your eyes on one part beautiful tailoring, one [...]

As Starbucks has already introduced its “Fall” drinks featuring my personal favorite the Pumpkin Spice Latte (non fat hold the whip) I am reminded of my favorite time of the year! I love fall – the colors, the smells, the fashion and all the holidays that come with it. However, I don’t love how it [...]

A few months ago you might recall I posted this lovely fabric necklace DIY. Since then I’ve only listed a few necklaces on my Etsy and have mostly focused on my terrariums. Within the next month or so I will be amping up my store with tons of jewelry and home decor that I think [...]

My boots from DSW (sold out!) arrived a few days ago and I haven’t wasted any time breaking them in. I love the way a good boot can make you feel: grounded, empowered, chic, adventurous. To find a perfect pair for yourself this fall, look for calve height or higher. They have a beautiful way [...]

Keeping to my ethnic roots, Germany is up next on our street style adventure. My grandma on my Mom’s side was an Altenbach, and her great-grandfather (born in France but of German decent) came to settle in Ohio in the mid 1800s. My sister had the privilege of visiting Berlin for her German class in [...]

In the next several weeks schools will be opening their doors, leaves will begin changing color, and the crisp air of fall will be upon us. What better way to greet the new season than a little closet intervention – removing clothes whose only purpose is to take up space and cause more confusion when [...]

One of my favorite books I read this summer was Julia Glass’ (author of Three Junes) I See You Everywhere. The tale is written from the perspective of two sisters, both completely different and yet in the end so alike. This fictional novel delves into the all so real relationship between sisters – the competitive [...]

Right as I am about to accept the cooling weather, California finally decides to play summer and spike up to 107 degrees today. Ugh! To combat this ridiculous change of tune, I’ve bust out one of my favorite strapless dresses that hasn’t seen daylight in quite some time. I first wore this little number at [...]
