My friend Brianne (during a 3-hour long FaceTime chat) told me about New York boutique catbird and it was love at first site visit. I showed my H some of the lovely pieces on the site---I was most enamoured with the rose gold heart ring. It was dainty and perfect. H told me not to buy it because it leaves him nothing to get me for ...
Keeping it Simple
Do you ever have days at work where you know you don't have any meetings and won't be leaving the office? Today, that was my day---a true blessing because I got to get a lot of work done by being glued to my desk. Speaking of being glued to your desk, here's a list of compelling reasons you should totally NOT do it. In other news, I think I ...
Review: Suave Professionals’ NEW Keratin Infusion Dry Shampoo
I felt like a pretty lucky gal when Suave contacted me about a new product line they were launching. They said they had read my rave review about their dry shampoo (the one that smells like lemony-goodness) and they wanted to send me a product from their new line that they think I'd love. A few weeks later, I came home to find a special shiny ...
Veronika’s Blushing—on Facebook!
After reading a post on J's Everyday Fashion, I decided it was time to make a Facebook page for my blog to connect more with you all. You can "like" my Facebook page here (only if you want to, of course!) and...if you're feeling mighty, let me know if you have any advice about what you'd like to see on my Facebook page. Hope everyone had a ...
Weekend Shopping…
Have you ever had something on your wish list for years? For me, it was the Tory Burch "Reva" flats. For some reason, I could never bring myself to get them because of the cost (about $200). Oddly, it never bothered me to spend $200 on a few items during a shopping trip, but I could never push myself to get the flats even though I had ...
Pretty Paisley
If you watched last week's haul video on my YouTube channel, you'll remember the paisley tunic I scored at Zara for $29.99. I absolutely love this piece---it is SO comfortable and perfect for a laid-back Friday at work. This tunic could work as a dress on someone much shorter than I am! Here's how I styled it: and without the infinity ...

I know I always say this---but thank you so much for your patience if you entered my Stella & Dot giveaway. I have been really busy at work lately so I've just now had a chance to sit down and finish counting all of the entries. This giveaway has been my most popular giveaway ever---with 387 entries ...
Mixing Business with Watercolor
I had an event at work today so I wanted to look professional and not too trendy. I chose my beloved J. Crew No. 2 pencil skirt and paired it with an item in my closet that has been ignored for the past year: my black blazer. I don't know why I don't wear it more often because it really is a lovely piece. After wearing it today, I'm ...
How I Edit My Blog Photos: Windows Live Gallery Rave!
It used to take me forever to edit my blog photos. Not because I was editing out blemishes or slimming my hips (sadly, my skills are not even remotely advanced enough for that)...but because I was spending time loading photos into Photoshop and then cropping and color correcting them all manually. Funny side note:When I first started my ...
Casual Cool
I get a lot of requests to share my more casual outfits---outfits I wear to shop, run errands or on casual Friday. I wore this outfit on Friday. Very simple and oh-so-comfortable. I was thrilled to wear my cognac boots for the second time this winter. It just hasn't been cold enough here to wear them more often. I do recommend investing in a ...
