Elle Magazine's January issue featured an entire section about "making better" (instead of the dreaded "making-over".)I thought this was a really positive message- because after all, most women want to be true to who they are when making improvements, not made-over into someone they hardly recognize.I admittedly got sucked-in by the ads promoting ...

I am obsessed with my closet. I want it to look like a pretty display case for all of my clothes.
