As the winter clothing starts to be replaced with spring/summer clothing right about now (shocking, huh?)… I always like to stock up on winter jackets for the boys for next year. Why spend full price on anything for next year if I can get it at a discount now? Well, the same holds true for myself. If I see anything [...]

My Winter Obsession: Columbia’s Women’s Heat Elite Jacket. I cannot get over the functionality of this jacket, it’s AWESOME. I’ve been wearing mine every day for the last 3 weeks… non-stop. So why do I love this Heat Elite Jacket? There are 3 main reasons for me… 1. I love the look of the Jacket! The fashionista in me, right? [...]

Is it really possible to Fashion DO a Christmas Sweater? I say, yes. It just comes down to 2 things: 1. Picking the RIGHT kind of Christmas Sweater. and… 2. Knowing what to wear with it. I would personally opt for something like this when it comes to wearing/finding a Christmas Sweater… Nordic, baby! Here are my top 6 “Christmas-y” [...]

The Holidays are here! It’s time to get dressed up and celebrate! I’ve been getting some emails asking me about some “festive” wear for the actual HOLIDAYS. I’m one of those people that loves to add the “festive” component through some jewelry. You don’t need to be dressed from head to toe in red and green, add some dashes through [...]

What to Wear While Traveling. Sometimes it’s not always easy to come up with the “perfect” outfit, especially if you’re flying. I recently just came home from Orlando, FL. It wasn’t too crowded there because it was the week before Holiday break for a lot of kids, but the security lines were still SO LONG. When it was my turn [...]

How to make your own jeans. Can it be true? Can you customize a pair perfectly for yourself? Oh, yes. You can. Thanks to IndiDenim.

When it comes to style and fashion and beauty… there are only a handful of sites I will check-into-religiously. SHOPAFROLIC is one of my all-time faves! Run by sisters (and both moms of 2!) – fashion designer, Liz Lange and graphic artist, Jane Wagman – I literally have become addicted to their witty banter back and forth as sisters, while [...]

How to Dress for Thanksgiving… oh, yes… there’s a technique (at least for me). I spend Thanksgiving every year at my in-laws house in Pittsburgh, PA. My mother-in-law spends weeks preparing for this feast. Yes… weeks. She plans her menu. She plans her shopping trips to the grocery store.

Now that my ears are pierced… I’m ready to fill up my jewelry box with some beautiful earrings! I don’t want to spend a ton of money on earrings because I know (with the craziness in my house) the chances of some pieces “gone missing” or getting damaged (a.k.a. sat on, put down the drain) is quite high. Sadly… yes. [...]

There’s nothing like being able to extend the life of some of your summer dresses. I’m a HUGE summer dress lover (and wearer) and I hate packing everything away even though (yes… we had snow this past weekend) it’s FREEZING outside. So let’s take a Maxi Dress. How can you extend this through the winter? How can you extend this [...]
