Get off of my cloud

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 [...]

Singing the blues

Shauna has become a favorite flikr poster of mine. When I saw her post this outfit recently, I had to share it with you all. What is so striking about this look is her vibrant blue Lark and Wolff dress (side note: did you know there are a plethora of different shades of blue with [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Origami creatures…

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. [...]

Healthy ways to have a great smelling home!

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 [...]
