It’s like growing up in a house full of siblings. And you’re the youngest. You spend your life being ignored. Slowly but surely everyone leaves. And then you’re left. And alone. And the only child. And you ARE A STAR. The center of attention. All anyone cares about. That’s the moment earrings are having. […]
I have no shame in my game. I love Valentine’s Day. I don’t care who created it or why, any excuse to be showered with love and flowers is right by me. Indulge in candy while wearing red/pink/hearts/lips and bust out any and all decor — just so much happiness. My only sadness surrounding V-day […]
We’re friend ish, so let’s agree that we want to be our best all the time. I mean, it’s true. Self improvement and such is a year round quest. We’re always striving to be our best, investing in ways to be health minded and better versions of ourselves. And sure there is something lovely and […]
Let us assume budget is no issue and that we’ve pursued all the sentimental routes. So, superficial bias and judgement aside, let’s indulge, shall we? PRESENTS! PRESENTS! PRESENTSSSSSSS! Gifts have powers. They can make you feel loved and thought of and special. The truly perfect present can even remind us that we are understood. Honestly, […]
Sisters are like human barbies. Sometimes you play with them lovingly. Other times you want to rip their heads off or see if they melt in the microwave, right? You basically get access to another life to live vicariously. This is true of my own sister. The other truth that any sibling out there can […]
I fall. A lot. Walking down the street. After work. On the way to the gym. Fall. All. The. Time. And yes, I mean purchase pieces seasonally appropriate for that window of time post-summer pre-winter. If you’re like me. You can’t help yourself. Autumn is an eternal state of mind for some. Plus, fashion is […]
For as cool and cultured as I am (lol) — I’m not traveled. NYC and back 20 plus times. Sure. Chi town. Obviously. But the majority of my adult life has been spent working sans [many] vacations (all the pretty things don’t pay for themselves). So, when I got married, it was the opportunity I […]
The thrill of Summer isn’t limited to warm nights, tan lines and endless glasses of rosè. It too is about what you wear, where you invest, and pieces that will be perfect for Summer but also take you into Fall. I’ve done the dirty work for you — and found the lushest items, all under […]
This is not a test. The top you’ve been stalking from winter to spring has finally been realized. It has reached its life span and is ready to make its voyage home to your closet. Victory is so close, yet, so far. Cluttered sales floors, lack of stock and just a general overflow of people […]
Summer is all about comfort. Messy hair. Ripped jeans. Tee shirts. Lazy hazy days of Summer. It is where you forget your worries and let all that is bad float away and let the freedom of late nights and cool drinks wash over you like you are a kid again. Just like style, Summer is […]
