Bold Beautiful Brows
Growing up, I always wanted to pluck my eyebrows. At the time, I felt I had been cursed with the bushiest biggest eyebrows a girl could have. My mom would not let me pluck them. She told me about how she plucked hers way back when, when the style was thin, and she regretted it. Plus, Brooke Shields was the hot beauty and fashion icon at the time, and she kept telling me how I had the same eyebrows. Well, needless … [Read more...]

Orange-Is-The-New-Black BAG
Basic black this. Basic black that. Black is a classic, no denying that for sure. There's not much that black doesn't go with, right?

Well, here's another one of those that The Mister makes fun of. I call it my pumpkin bag, and he doesn't like it because … [Read more...]
Hot Pink and Mint
Yesterday I talked about a staple for our closet, the white jean. Just one of many ways to wear it, today I've paired it with a fun new top from BuddyLove and Bow and Arrow. You guys have seen my uniform, so many grey's, neutrals, browns, that this definitely shouted out HAPPINESS and cheer to me. This top instantly made me smile and instantly brought on cheer. It's not neon, but it's not subdued… a perfect color for the … [Read more...]

Zara Neoprene Dress
This isn't a #tbt Throwback Thursday post, but this fabric and this trend I'm seeing DOES make me think of styles from the past. Neoprene, or as I call it, stretchy bathing-suit type fabric. {wink} I'm seeing it everywhere, and if you haven't yet, you will. Especially for the coming warmer months. In geometric, obscure, and floral prints. Kinda lycra-ish I guess you could say, sucks you in, and kinda pulls you together. At first I was like … [Read more...]
The Boyfriend Shirt
Hot, cold, hot, cold, and today rain. As much as I'm DYING for the spring to show more of his face, today was a bit on the chillier side. Now, because my "work" can be from home, and the weather was as such, I had to pull out what I've been wearing lot's of this past winter. My husband's shirt. Seriously, for this outfit, all you need is a man in your household. And if you don't have a man, then you can shop the men's sale racks! For … [Read more...]

Who said white jeans are just for summer? Not true. I paired up a pair of Target winter white jeans with a black "leather" stripe with this fun pony-hair sweatshirt.
