Ahh, the first holiday of the fall/winter season is here! Today I will show you what I’ve been working on for the past two days, and the final product that I’ll be wearing tonight! It all began with some felt. My friend and I stopped by our local Joann’s Fabrics to pick some up. Unfortunately [...]

For the final featured costume, I wanted to pick something that was funny. I have to tell you, trying to think of a humorous costume that is also fashionable is really not that easy. Yes, a plastic butt hanging out of the back of your pants is hilarious, but it just doesn’t cut it for [...]

One trend in Halloween costumes that I cant stand are the over sexualized, skimpy lingerie variations of every character or occupation imaginable. Last year I dressed up as Alice from Alice in Wonderland (can’t wait to see the Tim Burton version!) and I had the hardest time finding an adult costume that went past mid [...]

Our next fashionably fabulous costume is much more sinister, but not any less stylish. This female villain is the ultimate ice queen: Jadis the White Witch from the Chronicles of Narnia. Despite her ugly interior, the woman does fur and sequins unlike any other. Rachel Gilbert Lyla Sequined Gown $950 Coast Camilla Faux Fur Shrug [...]

Now that I am finally out of college, I actually have some time to enjoy the holidays! Needless to say I am extremely excited for this year’s Halloween. Our church is having an event called Light the Night for all the children to come and play carnival games and win lots of candy. Afterwards a [...]

Over the weekend it was brought to my attention that for those of us who can’t even dream of owning a pair of $1000 shoes now have a chance to own a pair of Jimmy Choos. That’s right, one of the most prestigious designer shoe brands of all time is bringing their products to H&M [...]

Did you know that many of our beauty products contain ingredients that can cause reproductive toxicity, allergens, and even cancer? For most of my life I have heard these reports but refused to change my lifestyle for several reasons: I didn’t have time to research what products were safe, I didn’t want to spend more [...]

The fourth and final installment of this series focuses on the ever touchy subject of age. Now don’t get me wrong, I am totally against the idea that as you age, your wardrobe must get more practical and professional (Victoria Beckham anyone?). But, there comes a time when certain things must be given up and [...]

Today I am following up from yesterday’s post on finding the perfect jean. Though no easy feat, once accomplished it can change the whole look of one’s body without needing any major intervention (hallelujah!). Non-curvy girls and hourglass figures stay tuned, today it’s your turn for some jean remedies. For women who are curvy overall, [...]

Our bond to a good pair of jeans can become more intimate than any other relationship we might have. We see each other on a near daily basis, we conform to each other’s limits and boundaries, and nothing can pick you up like seeing how good your bum looks when properly supported. But a bad [...]

As promised, today is my first day of the “Helping Hand” series. I want to start off with a topic that has become a passion of mine lately. For some, it brings sheer terror when having to confront it. For others, they simply hide in the “dark.” What could I possibly be talking about? … [...]

Today of all days I decided to try and get my weekly errands done. Contact solution, prescription changes, laundry abound, and groceries galore all in the middle of one of the heaviest downpours California has seen this season left me exasperated and in need of, you guessed it, a helping hand. Tonight I am influenced [...]

Just a quick post to update about what I was up to today. A few of my girlfriends came over to set up for our Style Exchange party tomorrow and it is looking great! We sorted through the donated clothes into a “stylish” and “unfortunate” pile, placed the keepers into sections by category and size, [...]

I have to say I have never been this excited over a fashion trend before. I think it has something to do with my ongoing battle between style and comfort that makes the explosion of leggings on the runways such a joy for me. As a child I was never the most stylish of kids. [...]
