When I was a teen, I had this crazy idea one day that I was going to make over our Christmas tree. I was bored of the traditional looking trees and wanted something completely different. I decided to do a pink and gold theme and even spray painted old ornaments we had gold so I would only have to buy new pink ones. While I was doing this, I ...

How We Found Out I was Pregnant!
Thank you to everyone who left such sweet and thoughtful comments on my last post. We are just over the moon about the baby and I cannot wait to share our journey with all of you! I was so touched by so many of you who told me that being a mom is the most incredible feeling in the world---I've always longed to be a mother and I cannot ...
Thankful.
This Thanksgiving is particularly special to me. Last year, I made it my resolution to be more thankful. Instead of asking God for things to happen in my life or constantly focusing on my problems (and asking God to solve them), I made a conscious effort to instead focus my energy on thanking God for all of the amazing things in my life that I was ...
Living Proof’s Prime Style Extender Really Does Extend Your Style (Really!)
When I first saw a magazine ad for Living Proof's "Prime Style Extender" I totally thought it was a gimmick.

Outfits Lately
I haven't posted a ton of outfits lately, mostly because I've been recycling looks you've seen already, but I did pull some shots from my iPhone (some workwear and some casual/weekend wear). Also, my year end review is this week and I have been spending a lot of time working on it these last few weeks and I haven't had the energy to think much ...
The Argument for Shapewear: A Review of Jockey’s New Line with Rachel Zoe
As you know from a previous post I wrote on wearing the right bra, I'm pretty passionate about undergarments. This includes shapewear. Yes, shapewear.†Some women view shapewear as "their little secret," and that's totally fine with me, but if you've never worn it before, I'm about to make the argument for why you should consider it. Shapewear can ...
