It's like the marriage of the most amazing shopping/good stuff/fashion/trendy/style/domestic entities! {did you understand that at all???} So meet The Awesome … [Read more...]
Vintage and Fringe Fashion
Are you OVER this cold and snow or WHAT? I know being originally from Chi-town, I must say I DO love the snow and the cold as it reminds me of my childhood. I love to FEEL the seasons. Winter wouldn't feel like winter to me if we didn't have some snow, wear some fur, and bring out the warm boots. Even for just a little bit. I admit I love to FEEL winter. And today I enjoyed what I hope (and think) will be the last of our winter days. With … [Read more...]
A little love from me to you…
I can't pass Valentine's Day without giving some love to you, my readers. Here's the deal... I poured a tiny bit of my heart out to you on Friday, but not fully. Most of you know I began my blog as a vehicle to vent about living a life ON PURPOSE and sharing all of my passions with you. I hope I have made some kind of a difference in your life, even if it's been by simply getting a new recipe I've shared! But I truly have discovered my love … [Read more...]
Think Pink: This and That
Pink isn't just for the summer months. I'm loving this pale shade of pink I call "blush". "Blush" pink can be as versatile as black. Wear it with jeans, with black, with chocolate browns and grays. Here are a few I've pulled together that can be thrown into your look for a bit of "freshness". If you wanted some ideas for Valentine's Day gifts that wasn't for lovers but maybe for your mother, daughter, sister, or bff, these might make some … [Read more...]
Run Around Town Look
When I have errands to run, but nothing like "appointments" that I have to go to that require me to be "dressed up", I wanna look great and stylish, but at the same time comfy. I don't want to wear sweats, but I want to be casual. Jeans aren't always something I'm reaching for either. So my look has to be one that is cute, fun, comfy, easy going, relaxed, and have some style. Since my "work" is from home, it allows me have looks like this … [Read more...]
Hit Looks From the Grammy’s
First I want to begin by saying that I have never seen a Grammy's like I saw tonight.... the bringing together of music icons from past and "marrying them" (no pun intended) with the present day hit makers BLEW me out of the water! It wasn't just honoring a PAST artist for his outstanding work, but the PERFORMING of SUCH talent TOGETHER that BLEW me away. And the marrying thing? That in and of itself was SO moving, all I could say was … [Read more...]
Travel Style and Comfort
Two things here... well, really three. Travel, style, and the jogger pants. Remember those? The jogger pants? I kinda chatted a little bit about them HERE, and although most of mine are kinda cargo style, but not all are, and not all are silk, and I'm seeing them more and more of them here lately. Are you seeing them when you're out shopping? I know I am. So I was on a little getaway this weekend with the fam and a few other peeps.... … [Read more...]
50% off Outfit
I love to shop this time of year because everything is deeply discounted. I'm a sale gal. I hate to say it, but I gravitate to the sale rack FIRST and then I make my way to the full retail price. I feel EMPOWERED when I've gotten a good deal. I mean seriously, who doesn't love a great deal, right? So now that the holidays are over and the winter season begins to wrap up, it's a good time to pick up a few things on sale. So I put a few … [Read more...]
Lazy PJs Kinda Day
I donno who is like me, but I've been LAAAAAAZZZZZZZY beyond LAZZZZZZZZY. I mean, LAZY doesn't describe it enough. I think when we go go go go go, when we have a chance to take a break, we just CRASH. Do I have things to do? um YA. Tons of them. Do I wanna do em? um, NO. I wanna chillax. And while I said I was going to back to you guys AFTER the new year, I had to vent (call this a diary post?), because this is all about me venting, … [Read more...]

Randomness
Because those of you who know me know that's how I roll, right? Off the wall and random? .... Is everyone overwhelmed this time of year or is it just me? The Mister has said to me so many times, "Why don't we forget all the gifts with all our families and lets just have a big fancy dinner somewhere and that's it?" Well, that never happens. And there is NO way I get my s**t done MONTHS in advance. Being done with my shopping in the fall? … [Read more...]

Small Business Saturday
Amidst all the hype of Black Friday, an influx of emails of SALE mail, and now this new Brown Thursday (which is a NEW term, where stores open on Thursday (yes ON Thanksgiving), and are literally open a full 24 hours to get a head start on Black Friday... Something that makes me sad for the employees when they could be with their families... ), (SERIOUSLY PEOPLE????) I find it very REFRESHING to enjoy the likes of keeping it local and shopping … [Read more...]

Capes Part 2: I am superwoman.
A Friday fashion follow up to THIS and the wishy washy weather made me pull out my cape of 3 years for the FIRST time. I snipped the tags and wore it... and LOVED it! I will say... the only thing hard about a cape is carrying a SHOULDER bag, but I still made it work. It was doable. Mine is actually a deep charcoal wool and I wore the ever so coveted KISS T-shirt underneath from … [Read more...]
