You know how much I love the Pinterest right?  I can’t get enough.  In fact, if my iPhone could track the traffic on my screen, all roads would end at Pinterest. I thought it would be fun to corral some of my favorite finds from Pinterest about once a week and highlight them here.  This week? SHOES!   Do you want every pair of boots as much as me?  I want them all right now, right here, ASAP.  Please.

whitening teeth at home: results

whitening teeth at home

Last week I showed you my manky yellow teeth {and wrinkles, but that’s neither here nor there} before I used some whitening strips on them. They were manky and yellow {or brown some say}, and now: What do you think? I put them on while I worked for two hours and no one noticed.  Sure, I work at home, but I was able to do a whole bunch of phone calls without anyone telling me I sounded 12.  With braces. …

crest white strips

I’ve officially lost any vanity I might have ever had.  I mean, I share all kinds of personal information with you, but I never show you actual photos of me in bed for weeks at a time, or pictures of me un-showered with bedhead.  But today?  I’m showing you a photo of my yellow teeth. I know.  Never mind the wrinkles.  I’m an unapologetic sun worshiper, and I have the laugh lines around my eyes to show for it. Anyway,…

Mad Men secretary

film commercial

I styled  a commercial last week that involved a first day of work for the principle {main actor} with a fabulous secretary.  I had to make her a sexy Mad Men secretary.  I couldn’t help myself. The guys are usually standard, boring, suit and tie.  The suit I chose for the main actor was fabulous, a charcoal grey suit with a yellow striped tie from J. Crew.  It looked fantastic. But the secretary?  She looked ridiculous. By which I mean…

How To Citrus Scrub

I don’t know about you, but I’m always sad to see the summer go.  Like really, really sad.  I’m a summer girl, one hundred and ten percent.  Winter makes me feel like I need to curl up and die.  Not to be confused with ‘Curl up & Dye’, a hair salon in what movie?  Ten points to Gryffindor for the first one to get it right. Are you here from StumbleUpon?  Thanks so much for visiting!  If you like what…

O.P.I. Fall collection 2011

When a box full of the newest line of O.P.I. nail polish showed up a couple of weeks ago, I almost plotzed.  Really. A box full of O.P.I. nail polish on my doorstep. Yo.  Life isn’t terrible. I mean it. There are few things in life that can’t be solved by a good manicure or pedicure. Anyway, the O.P.I. Fall line is called ‘Touring America‘, and as someone who road trips quite a bit, I really appreciate the polish names….
