I am having a bad hair life week. It’s at a weird in-between length, quite curly, and needs a date with a colorist.
Instead of actually spending money on a fancy new ‘do – I’m dreaming of distracting the eye with pretty Etsy baubles like these….
Granted, my hair isn’t long enough or straight enough to pull [...]

Clip on earrings, clip on ties…….usually the epitome of sophistication and style, no?
Ok, no, those aren’t the words that come to mind when I think about clip on accessories. Which I DO think about. A lot. However, my view may be changing. Recently I have been introduced to a type of accessory I had no [...]

Oh, do I have a treat for you! (Side note, it’s G’s birthday today! Happy happy HAPPY birthday!) I have a great present for him (if I do say so myself), and thought you deserved something nice too.
Lately I’m loving fabric flower brooches. I think they dress up drab winter cardigans and sweaters, and love [...]

…. a new fancy purse! Haha. Sorry. Really.
Anyway, guess what, Homagians? (that’s an ugly word – we’ll think of a better one) – I won a giveaway at the awesome Indie Fixx a little while ago. And now, this gorgeous bag by drika.b is soon to be in my arms:

Though A. gave me a lot of disapproving looks, I picked out my winter hat last weekend from Kohl’s:
Though the phrases “It hardly covers your ears!” and “Did you notice that it’s got big holes in it?” were heard, I knew I had to have it. And only $11!
Despite his misgivings, it’s very [...]

Anyone else watch Glee?
Aside from making me regress to my probably irritating, constantly-singing show choir days, this show makes me drool over the prim and adorable outfits of Emma (played by Jayma Mays).
Her look is vintage and always put-together, which totally cancels out her up-tightness In addition to sweet skirts [...]

As the snow blows merrily past my window and Murray leaves wet little paw prints all over my floor, I have come to the realization that I am severely lacking in appropriate winter clothes. I am fantasizing about plush socks and quilted robes. Anyone else?
These would do nicely…
And if I manage to step out of [...]

It’s Black Friday! Are/were you out among the crazies at the crack of dawn? My sister works for a department store, and she has to be there at something like 3:00 am. I’m going to let her represent our family this year
Today marks the start of the Christmas holiday season and all of [...]

So, I’m still in the brainstorming phase of turning my writing desk into a chic, modern vanity. As I dusted it off and tried to organize the random clutter this past weekend, I realized just how out of control my jewelry situation is.
Necklaces askew, bracelets hanging in and out of drawers, hair baubles falling on [...]

Ugh.
J and I email back and forth regularly, and Ugh is often the subject line. This week it’s a good description for how I feel. I’m just going to come out and say it – I am in a funk. I spent most of last week sick. Again. My house is a disaster and it [...]
