This week I’m away at Ad:Tech, a huge convention that focuses on the world of internet marketing (sounds nerdy, but it’s actually really fun to attend and the parties are amazing!). Jennifer, from Red Sole Diary, is helping me out today with a guest post all about the booming military trend. Check it out! *** I [...]

A couple of days ago I took some time to browse through Style.com’s beauty icons. There is just something about the 1930s-50s that really speaks to me…women like Greta Garbo, Gloria Guinness, Maria Felix, Bette Davis, etc. knew true poise and style. Beyond fashion, I absolutely love the hairstyles of those periods. That’s why today [...]

For awhile my husband has been wanting to have dinner parties so that instead of just watching a movie and hanging out around the house, we can sit down and have deeper conversations with our friends (he’s pretty much the best guy in the world hahaha). I finally suggested it to our friends and we’ve [...]

Sorry ladies, I don’t watch Gossip Girls. Don’t get me wrong, I have nothing against the show. I just tend to watch little TV, and when I do it’s usually Bravo competition shows, investigative series, or TLC realities. I haven’t been immune to the craze of Gossip Girls fashion influence though, and that’s why this [...]

No, I am not talking about a tiny pest that survives on deer and the occasional human. I’m talking about an amazing folksy rock band, whose sounds are perfect for welcoming in the sunshine, morning dew, and the feel of warm soil on your feet. Formed in 2004, I recently discovered them when I paid [...]

Don’t get me wrong, I love my unique pieces and my “dress up” clothes. But there is something about a laid back yet chic outfit that is just so endearing to me. With all of the fashion bloggers out there turning to denim and chambray, I thought I’d pull out my old cropped American Eagle [...]

Tonight I will be going to see one of my all time favorite bands. I remember when I was younger and would watch the MTV morning music video’s before school, this really bizarre music video came on: From that point on I was hooked on Muse. I like their smart lyrics, their 1984 allusions, and their [...]

I’m certain that those of us who are mentally and physically capable of observing our appearance have at some point in time not liked what we’ve seen. Beauty has always been (in my mind) culturally determined, and the likelihood of fitting completely into these ideals in slim to none. That’s not always easy to deal with, especially [...]

For the past month or so I’d been dying to do something new with my hair. The color was fading, the style had grown out into a big triangle shaped mess, and my poor ends were crying out to “just let them go!” Partly due to laziness and partly due to being “comfortable” with the [...]

*I was featured again on the lovely Independent Fashion Bloggers network for their Links a la Mode. You can see the post below!* Pretty, Pretty Edited by Jennine Jacob It’s official, Spring is in full swing… we’ve all shed our winter fluff and there’s a certain buzz in the air… well, other than the pollen count.

One of my favorite runway looks (included in my Guide to Spring 2010 eBook!) this spring is Marc Jacobs’ printed shorts. The outfit is a perfect blend of whimsical and chic – a look that can translate well into everyday wear. I particularly love how he balances out showing quite a bit of leg with [...]

Favorite Things (spring) by Bachman’s Sparrow featuring Roberto Cavalli jewelry So the other day the lovely Sophiasa gave me a sweet award on her AH-MA-ZING blog (seriously, this girl is one of the hottest mama’s around, and her style is such easy sophistication!). I wanted to take the time to do a special extra Friday Fave, [...]

Today I wanted to feature a book that I just finished reading. A couple of weeks ago my mom lent me her copy of The Help (written by Kathryn Stockett), a story following three different women in Jackson Mississippi during the 1960s. Two of the women are black maids, the third a white college graduate [...]
