My body is changing. In the last year, I’ve gained an inch or two around – everywhere. I know this because sometimes I can be a little self conscious, but if you no longer fit into any of your jeans, wouldn’t you be a little annoyed? Besides being heavier than I’ve ever been, I’m also [...]
Part 1 – I always feel strange writing about body issues – especially considering my size. I worry that, since I’m on the small side, I’ll be subject to a lot of negative commentary pointing out that I’ve got nothing to complain about. And that’s exactly the problem… During a recent conversation with friends, a [...]
So last assignment for Pretty Shiny Sparkly’s Bloggers Do It Better involved pairing neon with neutrals. Since I don’t really… own any neon colored pieces, I went for the next best thing – as bright as I could get. I mean, I guess my nails count, since the tips were hot pink (a failed LivingSocial [...]
I bought Style Statement as the ultimate lifestyle guide/workbook. Danielle LaPorte and Carrie McCarthy put a lot of time and effort into this book and gal pals raved about it. Nothing but glowing reviews and two-word revelations about how people I knew had found their true selves. So when I became so suddenly unemployed, I [...]
I don’t know how many times in the last couple months this thought has run through my head. If I had the cash, I could spend money on this and write about it… if I had the cash I’d do more online browsing… I’d do more in-person shopping… I wonder; Does having a couple extra bills [...]

I was flipping through titles at the book store the other day and something caught my eye. In Entre Nous, the author Deborah Ollivier insists that French women have more “je ne sais quoi” than American women. American women ask themselves, “How do I remake me/my wardrobe/my life…” French women who possess that “je ne [...]
“We are all going to die at some point so you might as well wear a crazy hat, you assholes.” -Auntie Marie at Agentlover.com Girl has a point. Your life is too short to do things like: Purchase a party dress that will never get any play because you don’t have somewhere to wear it; [...]
Found this old post in my drafts from who-knows-when and thought I would post because it’s a goodie! Tommaso Aquilano of Gianfranco Ferré thinks American women all dress the same. According to Aquilano, though we’re well dressed, this similarity in dressing is indicative of one thing – American women are working a little too hard [...]
There are days when I just don’t. want. to. get. up. Also, dress up. Also… just don’t care. Actually, that’s half the time I’m heading into the office – I dress up for dates and stuff after work, but where work is concerned, I’m too-often in denim and oversized hoodies, wishing I was in bed, [...]
