We got our gorgeous Butternut Moroccan duvet cover and pillows from Brocade Homerecently and I'm, just now getting a change to show them to you ladies! They are so pretty and I wanted to bring a touch of spring into our home and I think the butternut color of the pattern on these sheets against the bright white background does the trick. I ...
Weekend Shopping: Steve Madden & Sephora
Hello lovely ladies! Today H and I went on a shopping trip where he lovingly accompanied me braved the malls for a shoe-shopping extravaganza (because after last week's Jessica Simpson shoe saga, you know I needed a new pair of simple black heels.) It all began at DSW, where I couldn't find one shoe to try on. We then proceeded to the ...
OOTN: Dinner with the H
So I'm sitting here eating Thin Mints (thank you Girl Scouts of America) after an awesome dinner with H at PF Chang's (delish!) and I thought it would be fun to post tonight's outfit since I haven't done an outfit post in forever a few weeks. I didn't feel like wearing a dress to dinner so I actually wore the same clothes I had worn to work today, ...
Sports Illustrated 2011 Swimsuit Issue— Thoughts on “Curvy” and Body Talk
This weekend, Candice and I went and saw "Just Go With It," and I have to say, we laughed so hard we cried during some scenes. It was that funny. Jennifer Aniston, Adam Sandler and movie newcomer, model Brooklyn Decker were awesome together. Definitely a feel-good and hilarious movie. I was thrilled when Sports Illustrated ...
An Open Letter: Jessica Simpson Brand Shoes
Dear Jessica Simpson/ Jessica Simpson Shoes, I loved you, I supported you, I cried a little when Newlyweds was over (don't worry, I still have the entire DVD collection.) I defended you when people called you a dumb blonde (because after all, if you were really dumb, you wouldn't have made yourself a multi-million dollar brand.) I was ...
Sweet Valentine
Last year, H and I made reservations at one of our favorite restaurants for 8 p.m. and we ended up eating at 11 p.m. Let's just say we didn't want to do that this year. It totally kills the romance when you have to wait around for 3 hours to be seated (while your tummy is growling because you saved yourself for a big dinner!) We ...
Weekend Shopping: LuluLemon Loveliness & Uninspired at the Mall
I went shopping this weekend for a few hours with Candice and it was the most uninspiring shopping trip in my recent memory. I felt like every single store we entered had nothing to offer. I guess maybe stores haven't fully sprung into spring just yet, but I have to say I was extremely bored by what I saw and had to spend an hour online ...
Giveaway Winner!
I'm thrilled to announce the winner of the CRAZY RUMORS lip balm and special goodie bag from me! The winning comment is 138! I am emailing the winner right now! I selected the winner by using random.org to generate the winning number, I subtracted 138 from 186 (total # of comments) and then I counted from the bottom of the comments, skipping ...
Make Eyes Pop: Defining Your Eyes in a More Subtle Way
Every time I watch YouTube makeup tutorials, I get a little bit envious of the gorgeous multi-color, blended eyeshadow looks I see some of my favorite beauty gurus creating. Most of you ladies know that I'm not an eyeshadow type of girl for daytime. I do swipe a quick wash of MAC's "blanc type" all over my lid to even my eyelid skin ...
Colonoscopy Update & A Special Surprise from H
I'm still a bit groggy, but I made it through the colonoscopy today. Thanks to everyone who left sweet and supportive comments :) The procedure went really well and all of my results came back normal, which is great because it means there's nothing more serious going on. They took some biopsies too, just to be sure and I'll see my ...
