I know I might get a bunch of haters after I write this post. But I'm doing this for all the selfie lovers out there. Myself included. Cheers to you. Cheers to us. Here's my take on selfies and why I think taking them is absolutely awesome. First, let's face it. Before our cellphones with cameras, pretty much every picture we took was a posed straight on shot that was taken by someone at some kind of event. Right? No spontaneous … [Read more...]
Nordstrom Anniversary Sale: #NSALE
My favorite four lettered word is SALE. In this case, a 5 lettered word. NSALE. I know you kinda like that word, too. The biggest buzz right now is the biggest sale of the year at Nordstrom, the #NSALE, so I thought I'd share a few picks with you. I broke them down by bags, shoes, jewelry, and every day essentials. These are regular items, not on clearance, and the prices go up to the regular price in August. That's what makes this … [Read more...]
Fuzzy Friday: World Famous Mudslide
I love to create my own concoctions and be your mixologist, and of course many I can't take all the credit for, but I think it's way cool to see what different bartenders and restaurants offer as their signature drinks. After all, this IS what they do, and they're pros at it. So today I'm sharing something that is BEYOND to die for. I'll say this. I had 2 of them at lunch. HA! Shhhhhh! Don't tell anyone! The Mudslide. A … [Read more...]
What To Wear: The Romper
The romper is the perfect thing for "romping" around town, keeping cool, light, fresh and casual. And the romper is another one of the summer's "must have" items. This little chambray number I picked up at Target has been my go to romper for this season. Wear the romper with sandals, with gladiators, but it's a casual look, so don't over do it. Keep it as easy going as it's meant to be, just as it's name says. (wink!) Romper (on sale … [Read more...]
How To Find Balance While Wearing Many Hats
It's that time again! For those of you who don't know, I'm the mom of this teen entrepreneur. Honestly Margo. She formulated her all natural lip balms at 11, and at 12 her company was born. I help run her company and work closely side by side with her to help her grow her business. Part of that involves going to Market several times a year where she shares her products with buyers from all over. What does that mean for me? I wear … [Read more...]
We Are One
We are one human race. And as cliche as it sounds, love conquers all. If people feel love in their hearts, there is no room for hatred. I can't even put into words the sadness and emptiness I feel for what is going on in this world. Life wasn't like this 20 years ago, 30 years ago, was it? I don't seem to recall murders and killings the way things are happening in this day and age. Has all of our technology … [Read more...]
What To Wear: Pom Poms
Feeling tropical. This summer we're seeing nothing but off the shoulder tops and dresses (seen HERE, HERE and HERE) and pom poms. When you're on vacation and the humidity is so high, you hair is always frizzing and the camera lens is always foggy! HA! But seriously, this look has me wanting to go back to the beach. Casual denim shorts, flowy fun pom poms on my shoes and top, it's the perfect casual look for tropical … [Read more...]

Fuzzy Friday: Blueberry Watermelon Slushie
I'm excited for today's cocktail because it's one of those that doesn't SCREAM July 4th unless you do the rim. Really, one of my favorite things about this, it's perfect for the entire summer. Make it as fun as you want it with the choice of rim colors. I can totally picture this at a barbecue with a blender just whipping this up super easy, hanging out with good friends and good times. And for the kids, make slashes MINUS the vodka. … [Read more...]
Decor: A Lofty Look
I'm a little obsessed with this loft that was recently featured in Lonny. This space started with an industrial look but transformed into this warm eclectic space. Designed by Homepolish designer Allison Petty, she pulled warm tones with the golds and velvets that made the space inviting, comfortable, and very welcoming. We might not live in loft apartments with brick walls, but there are lots of great inspirations we can … [Read more...]
