Fashion Advice: Memo to self

Short and sweet today. Never, ever decide to wear heels ALL DAY long when you aren’t used to walking close to 3-4 miles in them. My feet are absolutely killing me. I know that sometimes we must suffer for fashion/beauty (yes, it’s true — sometimes!) but – there’s a reason you have sneakers and/or flats [...]

Extraordinary moments…

One Saturday morning… Bubbles within bubbles. A visit from Indiana Jones. Warm and welcoming little hands. Beautiful faces. Gentle, furry cousins. And, of course, no dirt in Grandma’s house!

Fashion on a Budget – Shop Consignment and Thrift Stores

I was never a consignment or thrift store shopper “growing up”. Then I moved to NYC in the summer of 2001 and was introduced to them by a friend. My “shopping life” changed. I’m exaggerating a bit here… but truly, consignment shops and thrift stores are definitely places to “hit” when you’re looking to save [...]

Packing and heading on out to SXSW!

Last night I was packing for SXSW. I started with enough clothes to dress nearly every woman in Texas. So I needed to go through everything and really trim the pile. I just started building quick, “plan ahead” outfits and my pile disappeared pretty quickly. So… I had my husband grab our video camera and [...]

My new writing gig!

In my previous post (and, by the way, I’m TOTALLY overwhelmed by everyone’s support), I mentioned that despite some personal things being a little rough right now, there are still some really great, fun things happening in my life, as well. One of those things is that I recently began writing as the Providence Dogs [...]

Do you live in a Happy State?

This morning, on the Today Show, there was a quick segment about Happy States.  This is not the “state of mind or body” kind of state.  This is your HOME state… as in your geographic boundaries. The top Happy States are listed as Utah, Hawaii, Wyoming, Colorado and Minnesota.  This got me thinking about “Happy.”  [...]

Fashion Advice for Moms – Have an Accessory Swap Party!

I mentioned a couple weeks ago about hosting an F.S.P. (Fashion Sharing Party) with some of your girlfriends. It’s such a great (and free!) way to pick up some “new” clothes! The only “problem” with an F.S.P. is if you aren’t the same size as all of the participants. I run into this problem with [...]

Fashion Advice – The Cropped Jacket.

Last week I got an email asking me, “What would you suggest wearing with a cropped jacket?” My mother loves (and always wears) cropped jackets, so I went right to her for a model! Where could you find some great cropped jackets? Mossimo has some really elegant cropped jackets. Great for work and play. Chadwicks [...]

Fashion Advice – Find a GOOD Hair Stylist!

Hair. Hair. Hair. It’s what we’ve got. And it’s what is either “on” or “off!” So make sure you… It’s funny, for the longest time I used to bounce around from place to place. I never could find that ONE person who did EXACTLY what I wanted (or at least give me “good” advice). And [...]

A personal blog is where you share personal stuff, right?

Reading over my most recent posts, I realize that I haven’t gotten very personal on my blog lately, even though this is, in fact, my personal blog. Most of my writing is about fun, light-hearted stuff, which is great because there are a lot of fun, light-hearted things going on in my life right now. [...]
