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 ...
Curls, Without the Heat.
Last week, I showed you how to revive second, third (or fourth!) day curls using Bumble & Bumble's Texture lotion. This week, I'm taking it to a whole new level and sharing with you the growingly popular "heat free" way to curl your hair. I haven't had my hair curled with rags since I was a kid, but one of my internet friends, Kathy, ...

Going Faux (Fur)
Today was a more casual day where I knew I wouldn't be leaving the office so I tried to be a little more relaxed by wearing a simple cotton henley and a vest with faux fur...and I threw in a polka-dot skirt into the mix...you know, just for fun! I wanted to say a big thank you to everyone who left comments and tips about my new lens---I'm going to ...
Out of Focus
I took these photos with my new "nifty fifty" lens and I am very displeased with how they turned out as I am obviously doing something wrong...but I thought what the heck and I'm sharing today's outfit anyway... See how fuzzy they are? The color had to be significantly adjusted too! If you have this lens and have any tips, please leave them in the ...
