Shauna from Meowsk has become one of what I like to call my Obbies – online buddy (lol cheesy I know). I’ve featured her in a few guests posts, totally enjoy her photography, and have come to respect her eye for all things pretty. She’s been someone who has supported me, which I really appreciate [...]

I was going to move on from fashion advice this week, but when I got an email from Leah H. about packing for vacations, I fell in love with the subject. She and her fiancé are heading to Japan for their honeymoon for two weeks, and she requested some advice on how to pack efficiently. [...]

I absolutely love ice cream. Rocky Road, Mocha Almond Fudge, Mint Chocolate Chip, you name it I devour it. But when it comes to frozen yogurt, I’ve had my ups and downs. The frozen yogurt I remember from my youth was too liquidy, not flavorful, and only came in chocolate or vanilla. Last year my [...]

I had all of these cute outfits planned out in my mind to share with you guys this week, but the cold, rainy weather CALIFORNIA (!!) has been experiencing made me go running for the trench coat. I thought now was as good as a time to show off another one of my Eugenia Kim [...]

We all have those love affairs that were once full of excitement and attraction, but have petered out and lost it’s thrill. What was beloved becomes ignored and uncared for. No, I’m not talking about our romance lives, but rather our relationships with our clothes. Those shirts, skirts, pants, etc. that caught our eye are now [...]

One of my most, if not the most, favorite designers when it comes to the visage we see on the runway would have to be Christian Dior. They just know how to do a complete look, from hair to toes. I’m always especially inspired by their cosmetic creations that, unlike many shows, can actually translate very [...]

Hello babycakes, it’s time for another installment of my Saturday Advice “column.” I think the opinionated side of me is really excited with this new venture! While I do want to delve into more topics beyond fashion eventually, another style tip is just dying to escape. So, this week I want to tackle the topic [...]

For Mother’s Day I bought my mom some of Lush’s Dream Cream (she has some eczema that has been bothering her and I heard this cream really helps). When the package came it had a little sample bar of their Reincarnate solid shampoo, enough to use for a couple of washes! I was excited to try [...]

The thought of summer has infected my mind and all I can faydream about is how to let my inner flower child out. I think sifting through images of Coachella recently has really influenced a return to hippie-chic for me (give me all of the wardrobe pieces in Almost Famous please!). In particular, this little [...]

I think it all started with years of wearing variations of blues, blacks, and browns that spurred my obsession with color. During my gradeschool years I was a pretty shy girl, and I think that really showed itself in my color palette – talk about boring! When I realized I was devoid of a spectrum [...]

Time for another Martha inspired project! The other day I saw this adorable cherry blossom tree that she created out of vellum paper and tree branches on MarthaStewart.com. It’s a lovely way to have pieces of nature to decorate your house with that won’t die within a few days (don’t even get me started on why [...]
