This Friday Favorite is one you’ve likely already seen on the blog. I purchased these personalized name rings in July and since then they have hardly ever left my fingers. I have featured them on Instagram, linked to them in outfit posts, even mentioned them in a gift guide. But I love them so much… Continue Reading Friday Favorite: Personalized Name Rings
Hi Alison: thank you so much for all of your broken arm-related posts, they have been lifesavers. In December, I badly broke my left forearm and needed surgery to fix it. Although I haven’t been in a cast, I have two hideous incisions that are still healing. They were fine while I was on short-term… Continue Reading Ask Allie: Fashion After a Broken Arm
This is the time of year where I dream of new closet additions.

This post is inspired by the Refinery 29 piece I recently shared on Wardrobe Oxygen’s Facebook page. I must say I was surprised to hear Revlon is not doing well; while their recent Love is On campaign doesn’t appeal to me, their actual product does. And unlike Refinery 29, I find Revlon’s packaging to be… Continue Reading An Ode to Revlon

Wow, it’s been a while since I have done one of these posts! It’s a mix of holiday craziness… and me just not purchasing as much. The medical bills put a dent in my spending, but also I’m feeling better about what I own and just don’t need as much. And to be honest I’ve… Continue Reading Recent Fashion Purchases – Hits and Misses
My sister, husband, and I have varying tastes in music but one band we all agree on and love is Clutch. The band is from the area, and every year between Christmas and New Year’s, they play a show at the 9:30 Club.
