(This post & the one on Wicked Whimsy are a dual effort and meant to be read together, so go there and read hers too!) So, a few days ago, we were talking about the directions our styles are moving in (which seems to be a similar place!). To describe her style direction, Michelle used [...]
I was on the fence, like the rest of the fashion world, about buying designer knockoffs. After one chat with fairy-haired maven Michelle, from Wicked Whimsy, I decided to go for it. I’ve gotten my first knockoff. I don’t feel bad about it either. See… A few bloggers feel really strongly on this point: I [...]
I’ve been flipping through Barbara Sher’s Wishcraft, since I’d heard about the book from Hayden, of Through the Illusion. The point of Wishcraft is for the reader to discover who they truly are, where they truly want to be, and how to get there. Last night, I stumbled upon a fun little exercise that [...]
Every Halloween, I get the urge to curl up in a corner with Fall of the House of Usher and a cup of spiced black tea. T’is the season, I feel, for some Poe, and so without further ado, we’re sharing our best Poe finds for fall. ========= “Once upon a midnight dreary, while I [...]
I loooooooove Miss Marie’s site to death – mostly because I could giggle for hours at the awesome stuff she posts, and she’s an incredibly smart cookie. There was the dramz and though I didn’t have a whole lot to say on the matter, I picked up some AMAZING smarts from some AMAZING commenters, and [...]

Let me illustrate. As Miss Elle at Broke and Beautiful said about THIS SHOE: This shoe isn’t ugly, [...]
Every once in awhile, I feel like I need to take sort of a funky, fun risk when I get dressed in the morning. Since my normal wardrobe is a sweater, thermal, or long sleeve henley and jeans or sometimes skirts, I’ve decided experimenting is THE fresh way to get over a sartorial slump. Whether [...]
I have to post about this because in the past 4 hours I’ve had my hair up, I’ve had at least 3 comments on it. It happens every time I do it and it looks amazing. Funny enough, I got this tip out of a Seventeen mag in the early 90′s when I had extra [...]
If you haven’t entered yet, Miss Elle at Broke&Beautiful is hosting a Sockdreams contest. This is my entry! GRAPHIC – by shawnabird on Polyvore.com Molly was a woman on a mission. Today she had an art gallery opening at two, which she curated. After, she’d meet the girls for a show, and later they’d go [...]
So I got tagged for the “Show us your Blog Spot” meme that Winona at DaddyLikey started. It’s all Ashe Mischief’s fault, really. So Bonne Vie would like to present you: Where the Magic Happens! This is my desk. It’s total hand-me-down Ikea goodness. It’s like a tower of awesome with my PC nestled into [...]
