I always enjoy reading other bloggers’ posts on some of their likes and dislikes – it’s a fun way to get to know them a little more on a personal level. I haven’t really tried my hand at one of these personally. I have done plenty of posts on my favorite trends, music, and products, [...]

Images from: ApartmentTherapy.com, UrbanOutfitters.com, FayetteWoman.com, MyProjectStyle.com, CaldwellFlake.com I’m coveting these upholstered headboards with a passion. It’s one part elegant, one part personality, and a dash of cozy all wrapped into one piece of furniture; I’m predicting a DIY project in my near future…. Do you love the look of these headboards as much as me? [...]

Coming from a consumer’s standpoint, shipping rates are super important. I can’t tell you how many times I’ll find something I like on Etsy (or any online retailer), but be dissuaded from purchasing because of high shipping costs. Case in point, I’ve been trying to find some pretty, unique pillows for my living room. I finally found [...]

I was inspired by this suede and shearling vintage jacket my aunt recently passed down to me to try something a little retro. This season is all about the 70s, so I thought I would put together a little hair tutorial on my version of the popular big curled, Charlie’s Angel-esque feathered look. All you [...]

This month I noticed a common theme in my unhealthy number if magazine subscriptions – orange lips. Now this isn’t exactly a new phenomena (I had blogged about this look in my new-look-a-day makeup challenge months ago). But with all the beautiful images of various shades of coral pouts assaulting me I decided the try [...]

Throw away all your preconceived notions about crochet and macramé wear because this season it’s booming with a vengeance. Modern pieces are a far cry from their dowdy, aging counterparts, and spark a romantic-cool aesthetic. From holey tops to chic skirts and an array of accessories in between, adding a bit of macramé to your wardrobe is [...]

No, not the shoes, although they are infinitely nicer to look at. If you’re a fellow hair-down-the-drain offender like me, you’ve probably had to deal with a clogged drain before. And don’t raise your hand, but I’m sure many of us have resorted to the dreaded Drano. Not only is the stuff laden with unhealthy [...]

For years and years and years I’ve been using drugstore brand hair tools. While I haven’t had much to complain about when it comes to my Conairs (especially for their price), I have questioned whether or not high end tools make a difference. I mean, aren’t all ceramic plated straighteners basically the same? That’s why [...]

We all know that a good pair of wide legged pants does wonders for our figure. Last year retro silhouettes made a major comeback, and a slightly flared wide leg has only seen momentum since in the fashion realm. This season keep an eye out for a more colorful approach to these slimming bottoms. Hues [...]

I don’t think I can say it enough: I love Soap.com. College students, working women, stay at home moms, we are busy women! So when a service like Soap.com – where they do the errand running from you – pops up, I’m all over it. I don’t know about you, but buying household products is my [...]

While the majority of the country is still dealing with the nasty, cold weather, California has been having peeks of sunny days lately. I think we’re unfortunately diving back into the rainy spell for a bit, but while there was a chance I pulled out this little number to welcome in the warm weather. Last [...]
