Thanks to my good friend, Briggs, I’ve found a new love: Borneo born singer/songwriter Zee Avi. At only 23 years old, she was recently discovered after posting YouTube videos of her performing self-written songs of her love and her life. Her soulful voice and folksy sound is what drew me in, and she is my [...]

I am on a skirt fix. If it weren’t so darn cold (I admit, coldness is one thing that I allow to detract from my style), I’d wear them more often. Since today provided a hint of sun, I decided to pull out one of my recent purchases: this beautiful, printed skirt from Urban Outfitters. [...]

I love Martha Stewart. I always say my dream is to be Martha and Rachel Zoe in one package (with an Oprah-sized reach!). So whenever I can, I watch Martha during the day and browse her site for tips and how-tos. Something I’ve been wanting to research was how to make my house smell good [...]

My husband gave me this great idea to go through his iPhone pictures and make a mini timeline of my style progression. He lovingly but very embarrassingly takes candid pictures of me all the time with his phone; for example, we’ll be walking in a store and he’ll randomly run in front of me and [...]

For the past couple of weeks I’ve been working furiously to put together a comprehensive e-book to get you totally prepared for Spring 2010 fashion and beauty. After hours of drooling over images of my favorite designer’s runway looks, I finally pieced together my favorite outfits, trends, and beauty techniques. 30 pages later, I finally [...]

Say what you may about Whitney Thomspon’s win on America’s Next Top Model, but I thought it was nice seeing a “plus sized” girl win. And despite many of her critics’ claims of there being no work for a plus sized model, Whitney seems to be doing just fine. In fact, Forever21’s plus sized line, [...]

I’m just super excited because I got my first pair of higher end designer shoes for a really great price from HauteLook.

Check out a few of my favorite looks from his collection: I definitely have my eye on that yellow raincoat, black dress, and braided belt! You can find Posen’s collection either online or in stores.

I love honey. There’s something so earthy, raw, sustaining about that golden syrup and I can’t get enough. According to some science and a lot of old wive’s tales, honey is really good for your health and beauty. Not only does it taste great, but it is a good natural immunization booster, antioxidant, and energizer. [...]

I made a post a few weeks ago about the hot paperbag waist trend. I thought I’d try the look out myself, and this is what I came up with: I also promised my friend Emmy that I would figure out how to wear fishnets and look classy. Her wonderfully conservative Bulgarian mother told her all [...]

When I pick a celebrity for each Saturday’s dress for less, I usually chose actresses whose work I love and whose style has been iconic in my eyes. Sometimes, though, I have a look in mind that I want to feature, and I search high and low for a good celebrity example of it. In [...]

Generally I’m not a huge fan of female vocalists. I tend to get bored quickly with their music unless they are extremely talented or have some grit in their voice. So for me to like Lykke Li is a big enough deal (to me anyways) that I thought I’d share her with you all. She’s [...]

This last weekend I went to Vegas for my very first time, and let me tell you, it was an experience! For the most part I really enjoyed it. There are some very beautiful sights to see and I loved the shopping. Unfortunately I didn’t get to see any shows, but I plan on seeing [...]
