White Out!

January 23, 2013 2 Comments

It’s cold outside. Bone chilling, teeth chattering, finger freezing cold. It’s hard to look chic when covered in layers. If you can’t beat ’em, join ’em. Why not let the weather inspire you? Think white, dress white, and we might even get more snow… (Classic Tretorn with leather laces from Tomboy Style) (Emily Weiss of… read more

I love any and every opportunity to give people my opinion. Just ask those who know me well. I am a know-it-all. That being said, send me questions! I am DYING to give you answers. No need to give your name, I appreciate anonymity. I do! Not for myself, but for others. If I don’t have a… read more

I needed a chair. My first thought was not “Where could I buy a chair?” but rather “Where can I get a free chair that will end up looking exactly like the one I want?” I know, I know. At this point you are asking “Why does this girl make her life so much more… read more

The Sentimentalist Soundtrack

January 15, 2013 2 Comments

I love music. It makes me feel. Literally I can listen to particular songs and be brought to tears. And there are also those full-of-life records that just make you want to get up and dance. Admit it. You wish you had your own soundtrack every day. Me too. Today’s playlist? Maybe you wake up… read more

I dig Patagonia. (No, not that Patagonia!) This Patagonia! (Patagonia Women’s Down Sweater $200) Good brand, good mission, good return policy, and good quality gear.

A few months back, in the midst of Hurricane Sandy, my appendix decided it no longer wanted to live within the confines of my body. That was a heck of a night. Another long story for another time. Preferably a time when we are sitting together with a BIG glass of wine… It was a… read more

  (Me, fresh from the shower with BIG hair.) There. I’ve said it. I have BIG hair. You who have seen me with shiny, smooth, polished hair might not believe it. But it’s true.
