In particular, I love this stripe shirt + knee high sock look. How to get this look for less: Abercrombie Elsie shirt, $19.90; What’s more all-American than Abercrombie? Forever21 denim [...]

Now before you say, “death metal? I’m out.” let me explain. This band is actually kind of amazing. They’ve been around for awhile (since 1998), but I only recently discovered them thanks to my friend Ben (you might recognize some of their songs from commercials and the movie Thank You for Smoking – great movie). [...]

Tuesday night my husband planned a wonderful mini retreat for us to the Lafayette Park Hotel! It’s a beautiful building that has both French and Italian influences, and a great spa treatment center. On Tuesday we went out for a steak dinner, checked in to the hotel, and spent most of our time relaxing in [...]

I’m finally getting on the ball and making some tutorials from my Guide to Spring 2010 eBook as promised.

You can bet I will be having more Sarah Jessica Parker dress for less’ in the future, but I had to use her Sex in the City dress as today’s inspiration. It is so fun, girly, and PINK that it’s perfect for Valentine’s Day. I love the print on this dress – it reminds me of [...]

I was watching Regis and Kelly (guilty pleasure) Tuesday morning when they showed this fabulous recipe for chocolate hearts. It looked easy enough, and chocolate is almost always a winner, so I thought I’d share it with you in time for Valentine’s Day. First of all, you need to melt some tempered chocolate: INGREDIENTS: 2 pounds of chopped [...]

When I was in Vegas I did a little shopping (my husband reads my blog, I can’t be too honest here ). One of the items I picked up was this amazing half poncho, half sweater tunic piece. I’ve been a bit under the weather lately, and this outfit is perfect for low key [...]

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 [...]
