Writing a fashion/lifestyle blog is either incredibly brave or somewhat foolish of me...  Hey, I just needed a place to house all my selfies. When I initially started ~ my intent was to share fashion tips, pass along secret resources, share new places to shop and show...

Nine Days

I once read an article about how most men secretly hate Valentine's Day, whereas women adore it.  Men (apparently) get all stressed out about getting us a thoughtful and special gift. It's too much pressure for them. NEWSFLASH: Diamonds work. OTHER NEWSFLASH: Women...

I…can’t…see…you.

It used to be that I was the only person in my family who didn't have really poor vision.  All of my family members pretty much started off like this: I have now officially caught up to them.  I could bore you with my very long story about my attempt to wear contact...
