The Sexiest Night on Television
That's what that the announcer said. I've never plopped myself on the sofa to watch one of these before, but I did tonight. I LOVED watching this. Can I say that being a woman? I'm not the other way. Totally love men, not women, but these women are just SO beautiful and the glamour and their costumes were amazing. It was SEXY Fashion Show meets Awesome Hip Hot Concert. Rhianna + Bruno Mars + Justin Bieber + VS Angels = Sexiest Night on … [Read more...]
What to wear with this weather.
It's December 3rd and I found it extremely difficult to dress myself because the high for today was 77 degrees. Seriously? Seriously. This comes from a person who loves FURRRRR. I'm thinkin, "WHERE IS WINTER????" Technically, it's not winter yet, but I shouldn't feel like pulling out the flipflops, right? I love to wear boots and there is NO way I can wear boots in this weather. So, turns out, I pulled out some sandals, as did some very … [Read more...]

Hiya Stud.
On a recent trip I couldn't help but notice some super trends that really shouted out to me. Gold studs and gold detail. I took these shots at Zara. Forgive my shots for their non-professional look, but I had some jaw-dropping moments, and only took these few shots because the sales ladies were like, "WHAT SHE DOIN????" If you've never been there or heard of it, Zara is some goodness you wanna take home with you everytime you walk into the … [Read more...]

Bath Poof, Not Bat Poop.
Every year the week of Halloween really throws me for a loop because it's filled with activities, not just the normal trick or treating stuff, but throw in a birthday to mix it up a bit and you have one pooped out momma! So being that the past few days did consume my posts with birthday blah blah, I'm doing a bit of a halloween delay, if you will. A post holiday post! Now, take a look at this.... Now, I gotta admit, I'm not much of a crafty … [Read more...]
Naked Ears.
Momma knows best. No matter what, I have found that to be the case. Most often the hard way. And when it came to my ears, this was the case. This is what I've been missing out on for the past 6 weeks... My earrings. All of my favorite earrings. Do you know why I've been missing out on my stuff? Because I didn't listen to my Momma. Yup. I have to say it, Mom, you were SO right! Being a gal growing up in the 80's, 2 things were part of … [Read more...]

Bag Lady
Purses are my thang. You don't want to know how many times a day I browse all these sites that email me with their "one day" specials, or "featured vintage designers" they have for me to drop some change with them. I'm always hunting.... no need to gather any more, but hunting for great styles, unique looks, and of course, I gotta have a bargain. Seasons changing, I put the big orange Marc Jacobs away (I call her "the pumpkin") because when … [Read more...]
Striped Furs
As the time of year is quickly approaching since we've had record low temps (YES!!!), that means I can start to wear one of my FAVE things EVERRRRRRRRRR!

Hello Fall!
It happened. This week. Today it happened really hard. Fall didn't ring the doorbell. It pounded HARD on our doors and shouted, "I'm HEEEEEEEEERE!!" via Dropping temperatures, expected record lows, (YES!!!!!) and a crisp wind. Such a NICE change from hearing "RECORD HIGHS". So I guess the boots are now officially out! via I'm coveting these, just in case you wanted to get me an early Christmas gift. I'm a size 7, thank you. :) My … [Read more...]
Closet Classic
Fall is here which means transition weather. We wake up and it's crisp and cool and later in the day it has warmed up. The basic white shirt is one of my favorite things and belongs in every girl's closet and it's perfect for days like these. Classic, timeless, sharp, can be dressed down or dressed up. In my opinion it's an essential. I have several.... I'm so bad! I can never have just ONE of anything because what if something HAPPENED to … [Read more...]
