No, I’m not talking about the World Cup (although it appears everyone on Facebook and Twitter are). I’m talking about my thrift store scores from a few days ago! While it certainly has been interesting experiencing the soccer (excuse me, futbol) craze, learning about countries I have never heard of before, and rooting on the [...]

A month or so ago I made this post on how to create side cut-outs for your dresses. Lately, another trend I’ve been seeing are tops and frocks that have heart cut-outs in the back. Of course that led to me thinking, “I can do this”! So fellow diy-ers, here’s a quick tutorial on how [...]

Yesterday marked the first day of summer and I’m SO ready for it! Unfortunately summer no longer marks lazy days and no responsibilities, but I can’t help but feel a little lighter, a little more relaxed. My outfit today reflects the ease of a warm, sunny afternoon – I plan on “romping” around a lot [...]

What I love about Tweet is Clare’s highlights of designers and artists that I otherwise may never have heard of. Her taste is impeccable, and I have yet to be disappointed by her choices. Yet another blogger from the other side of the world (love making these connections, I need to start travelling more soon!), [...]

I’ve been feeling pretty frustrated with how well I treat my body. Every since I got married, my diet hasn’t been the best (we eat out for lunch almost every day for example) and I have done little to no exercise. Lately, I’ve started to feel the effects – muscles getting pulled way too easily, [...]

Yesterday Jaime tagged me to share the contents in my purse. The first reaction I had was horror. You see, my purse is one of the most disorganized, messy, overflowing with things-that-should-be-tossed bags you’ll meet. Part of the problem is that it is so ridiculously huge that I can literally fit my life into it [...]

Ahh, sunshine, how I love thee. Today was such a comfortably warm day that I would actually resort to using the word delicious to describe it. I pulled on my thrifted striped blouse and pleated shorts and felt wonderful – you know, that feeling when your clothes just feel like a second skin, airy and [...]

Yesterday I made a huge announcement: No, I’m not pregnant, but I finally opened my Etsy shop! In case you didn’t get a chance to stop by yet, Etsy has a “Mini Etsy” that I’ll be posting from time to time whenever I have new products. So, to get you all familiar with it, here’s [...]

Hey everyone! Lately I’ve been busily working away, putting together some of my favorite DIY projects to finally sell online at Etsy. I apologize for not being as attentive as usually to all of you and your lovely blogs, but now with the grand opening of my store, I can breathe easier! I’m so excited [...]

With the school year ending and several of my friends entering into a new season, I wanted to talk a little bit about figuring out what you want to do in life, career wise. It really is a personal journey (emphasis on journey) to discovering that age old question, but I do want to stake [...]

In honor of me finally receiving my swimsuit in the mail (and hopes of getting a good helping of sun this weekend), I wanted to share with you guys some of my favorite sunblocks! I’m one of those people who verge on paranoia when it comes to protecting my skin (for example, I tend to [...]

California is back to overcast, gloomy weather, but luckily this time it’s only for a few days. Then we spike up to 90 degrees, and finally welcome in summer! To get me by the next few days, I’ve piled on the color. Yellow is such a happy color, and I absolutely love this hue H&M [...]
