I believe in purchasing quality instead of quantity when it comes to beauty products as well as clothing. Almost a decade ago, I received a major promotion that would require me to travel for my job teaching people about my company’s line of clothing, how to pair it with other pieces and how to merchandise… Continue Reading Product Review – Sephora the Smokey Eye Kit
Bit of a late night, so a rougher morning. I pretty much got up, brushed hair and teeth, slapped on some garments and headed out. Black ribbed crewneck sweater from Chico’s (2005), dark denim pencil skirt from Gap (2006), black fottless tights from Old Navy (2006), tan Bern boots from Suo (2007), silver necklace from… Continue Reading Wednesday
Yet another concert! This one was The John Butler Trio, one of my very favorite bands. I saw them for the first time this summer at Bonnaroo and have been a teensy bit obsessed every since. I love their jam/funk/everything sound and heck, John Butler ain’t a bad looking guy either! 🙂 I ended up… Continue Reading Tuesday Night

They had the traditional collar and even a few buttons, but were as long as a… Continue Reading Kicking it Old School – Aliza Darik

Last night I was watching one of my guilty pleasures, How I Met Your Mother (if you haven’t seen it, it is a pretty witty show). Lily, the character played by Alyson Hannigan admitted she was severely in debt because every time she was unhappy (even being unhappy over a large credit card bill) she… Continue Reading A Reminder: More Isn’t Better
