It's the last day of the diet... Whoa! It makes me soexcited to start this NEW DECADE with such a fresh, cleansedperspective. In many ways, I feel like a new lady. New hair do, newoutlook, and new approach to how I present myself to the world. Ifeel like I have shed some major layers, both tangible andspiritual. I have a fun outfit for tonight (which I will definitelypost), but wanted to ...
I have been eying the clog trend for a while now. The thing about trends is that they are great and they are also dangerous. If you follow them too closely you run the risk of being... dare I say it... "trendy". But if you don't follow them at all, well, then you run the risk of being... dare I say even worse... "out of touch".Anyway, I have wanted a pair of clogs for a while now. Love ...
What a perfect day to celebrate the end of this blog. New Year's eve.I wanted to share two things today. Both custom-made. The first is the hat. I love this hat. My mom's friend made it. Literally she made it. I love it. Second, the necklace. I made it myself. It's super simple, but I like it. It looks very good with summer dresses or black dresses. I think I might add a chain or two. T-shirt ...
You know how when you get something new that you just love you want to wear it every day for a week and a half? Well that is me right now. So, sorry for the redundancy, but whats a girl to do? Deny herself the joy of wearing the same thing over and over again? Pshh!Had a wonderfully decadent day. Went to the spa at the Ritz Carlton [oh la la]. Ate a delicious lunch of an open faced sandy ...
I want to color my hair and I don't know if I should go blonde or brunette. I had dark hair before but not necessarily looked good. I should post some pictures of my hair transformation through the years. Anyway, I like rich dark color because they are low maintenance, but mostly I have been a blonde and I feel the blond color works with my complexion. Here some pictures of celebrities ...
Too tired to write much of anything. In a few days the daily posts won't be required, but we will definitely still be posting! As Gin said, we have some ideas. The diet will be finished, but as with any good diet, it's a lifestyle change.Tonight was yet another wonderful Christmas celebration. Thanks to "The Holiday" we enjoyed some Christmas Fettucine, a nice merlot and sparkling rose, ...
I realized that everyone by now knows what I own. I had a friend e-mailing me about a dress I was wearing asking me if I bought it at H&M and then criticizing my choice. ;) No more surprises I guess:) I also received another e-mail from my friend in Boston supporting the mission of the blog, which was well needed since I have been feeling to break the diet,(which I did), to let it free. ...
I finally got that drapey BB Dakota sweater from my "fashion picks". I had been eying this sweater in the moments before we started this little journey, only to find out at the last moment that it was sold out on Lulus.com. I then found it again on shopbop.com, but was in the middle of our shopping diet, as Gin puts it, and couldn't buy it. And THEN I found it AGAIN at the new store, Private ...
Christmas is a food feast. My family or Shawn's family usually start eating the 23rd and pretty much we never stop until January 6th. We had so much food that we had to start dinner at 5:30pm and did not end until 1AM (with movie break in between). It's crazy, but I love it. My body can't handle it anymore.French Onion Soup.Crab from Florida.Crab from Alaska.Not able to move. Wearing turtle ...
It wasn't a white Christmas. Florida even managed to warm up drastically for this day only. The curse of warm Florida Christmas's. Although it was still not too warm. Tank tops and flip flops wouldn't have been appropriate.Got this serape for Christmas. It's like wearing a blanket in public in the name of fashion. I am in love.Wearing it with a black tank, forest green cargo skinnies, brown ...
Merry Christmas Eve. XOWearing jeggings, mauve sweater from Urban and grey knit vest from Old Navy with black and cream scarf.Too cold and too busy (and living out of a suitcase) to be very creative. Really enjoying feeling cozy and relaxed and full o' cheer.Remember to leave out some cookies and mil ...
First official Christmas party of the season. Festive cooking (pigs in blankets!), Christmas tunes, bubbly and egg nog, gifts to be exchanged. Wearing black Cheap Monday cords, grey H&M sweater, black tank, black Dolce Vita moto boots.Happy Holidays everybody. I hope you're spending it with the ones you lov ...
I see snow outside Cincinnati. It's beautiful. I saw 4 deers yesterday, one being a little one. The dogs love the snow. They like to run through the infinite fields of snow. I am making a snow man soon. I just have to find the strengths to stay outside more than just few seconds. I also had the great idea yesterday to walk around this market place with stores. I was like: "Yeah, I can walk ...
It's true. I still get a Christmas break. Today was the last day at work for 11 days. Hallelujah! Got a new iPhone for Xmas and I am posting this while in the car! Isn't technology impressive? Wearing grey tank dress from shopbop, blue sweater from BB Dakota, flower pin, black and cream scarf and black Aldo flats. The cold will be back tomorrow, just in time for the holiday ...
Sometimes taking photos for the blog helps me to realize some major fashion faux pas. I was going to post the first two outfits as evidence and then decided not to display the incriminating evidence.That is a face of skepticism.Wearing Paper Denim skinny jeans, grey H&M tank, white button down blouse from Victorias Secret, maroon velvet blazer from The Gap, black socks, black flats ...
I was really tempted to use the "all my good clothes are dirty" excuse until I realized the entire point of this blog was to wear all my clothes, not just my faves. So, maybe from here on out until the end of the year I will only launder the necessities... undies and socks and what not.Had to use my own devices to get the pictures for today. That included the living room mirror and a timer ...
The comfort of my house and the fact that I am on some sort of vacation brought the 'Beaver' out of my third wave, multiracial, eco-feminist ideology. [You can read more about who I am as a feminist here]. I have taught myself how to knit, baked cookies, cleaned, ironed. You name it! I have been domesticated by boredom. Will boredom get me to create this 'simple' centerpiece? Watch from ...
Tired of vulgarity in fashion and fashion bloggers who are impeccable and not realistic I decided to start this blog to show that real people can be stylish without following trends or looking like strippers or models. Follow my failures and victories through a learning process of style and elegance in style.
