Nate Berkus has a segment on his show that goes by the same title as this post, and each time I watch I cant help but wish our little apartment had been chosen. So instead of just waiting, Ive taken ...
While thumbing through the latest Madewell catalog, I loved every piece, every outfit and styling choice. The store sums up my personal style in a nutshell: simple.classic.vintage.chic (at least that...
Todays trip to Anthropologie got me giddy with excitement as I searched through all the home decor and clothing. The appeal to me is the vintage aesthetic that emanates throughout like an ideal flea ...
Ill admit that my makeup routine tends to stay the same throughout the year. Im a creature of habit, pulling out the same lip-gloss, pink blush, and neutral eyeshadow quad with slight variations here...

Beyond stunning "cinemagraphs" I came across from Jamie Beck & Kevin Burg via their photography blog From Me To You. In case you thought street photography and b.t.s shots couldnt get mor...
Ive been on the hunt for a chic pair of leopard flats for some time. Theres something about the classic spots used as a neutral that gives off a fresh, fall vibe that doesnt seem like you are trying ...
With each impending season, I like to take inventory of whats still holding a spot in my closet. (The forgotten pieces tucked in the back from past seasons. Fall coats Id forgotten I had. Thrifted it...
First, let me get the apologies out of the way. SORRY for the long break I took from this blog. Quite honestly, posting and a full time job were not mixing very well. At the end of my work day, I cho...
First off, Happy New Year! Its hard to believe that the holiday season is over. The pine scent from the Christmas tree is gone, my vacation is over in mere hours, but Im determined to make the most o...
Today I finished up my holiday shopping, with the exception of the remaining stocking stuffers I need. I have fond memories of waking up, running to my stocking and immediately sifting through all th...
The past several days, for what feels like a week, the rain has been coming down non-stop. Im always impressed when someone is dressed beautifully in this type of weather, especially since my first i...
I know Im biased, but Im certain our Christmas tree is the most beautiful one out there. Perhaps its the excitement of it being our very first one (as grown-ups). As rookies were beaming with pride e...
Theres certain colors that seem to overtake our closets more than others. Id say mine contains far too much black, which got me wishing for its opposite, winter white, to pair it with. Ive put togeth...
A dessert in the oven is one of my favorite things, but when both parties are working all day its not the fairest expectation to have during the week. With some leftover cans of pie filling (cherry a...
Its a strange thing when the weather constantly changes day by day (instead of by season). Each morning a quick weather check is required at an open door, a habit Ive gotten quite used to. The mash-u...

After a red-eye flight and an accompanying cold I caught a day earlier, Its safe to say Im glad to be back home. My trip to Anchorage for the holiday was filled with seeing friends from my past (3rd ...
After walking past a Mango store the other day, I knew I would regret not taking a moment to shop around. Once time was on my side, their online store proved to have an ample mix of slouchy dresses, ...
These winter days transform far too soon into dark nights with the daylight savings time. Its hard to believe that November is coming to a close, and Christmas is quickly approaching. This monochroma...
This weekend Im going to attempt one of these recipes. Im not sure which one will strike my fancy, but whether its sweet or savory I know the winning recipe will be delicious from the looks of these ...
Im a true believer that your home reflects your sense of style. Just as your fashion tendencies are a constant evolution, home decorating can be a similar process. With a "never quite complete...
As the holidays approach, my mailbox is becoming more and more inundated with catalogs filled with gift ideas and new fall shipments. Urban Outfitters has put together some quirky and playful images ...
During yesterdays trip to the local mall, I found myself attracted to one thing---knit sweaters. The variety of options was endless: pullovers, military styled cardigans, diamond patterns, and preppy...
