I’ve been wanting a cute, fitted menswear-ish vest for a while now. I can’t seem to find exactly what I’m looking for, but this one from J.Crew is pretty close.

Daniel and I finally saw Midnight in Paris over the weekend. We really enjoyed it! (Now Daniel is claiming that we’ve seen Paris and can cross it off our list of places to visit. HAH.) Rachel McAdams’ character was hateable, but I’m in love with the effortless yet charming shirtdresses she wore throughout the film. Have [...]

Happy Memorial Day! It looks like hot weather is here to stay. Our weather forecast is calling for highs in the mid 90′s all week. Booo! I’m currently planning a trip to Iceland in August to escape the heat and humidity of summer in North Carolina. If you live in Iceland or have visited, please [...]

Using a flat iron is pretty much the extent of my hair styling capabilities, although I can manage a simple bun or pony tail. Last week I came across Hair Romance where the author is on day 24 of posting 30 different hairstyles in 30 days. She will publish an e-book in June with styling [...]
