Spring! by Petit Elefant You guys, Polyvore is a sickness, and I don’t want to get over it anytime soon. Seriously, it makes me so happy. It’s like playing with paper dolls, only better, because the paper dolls have hot clothes. And jewelry! None of my paper dolls ever had jewelry, did yours? This is my outfit of the week, also titled: ‘Things I’d Rather Be Doing Than Dishes‘.
It was so, so hard to choose my favorite shoe trend. I love shoes, but mostly, I love Spring shoes. So here they are, some of my favorite shoes this season in a variety of price points. Why should we have to sacrifice style? Satin Rosette Slingback Sandal $13.30 Joan Wedge Sandal $89.95 Ruffle Pump $24.99 Stud Heels $228.00 Metallic Floral Sandals $19.50 Spring Blooms Pumps $98.95 All of these shoes are so great for such a variety of occasions….

I’m not going to lie to you, I sweat a lot. I’m constantly on the prowl for newer, stronger, better smelling deodorant. I have rotated through every kind you can imagine: men’s, women’s, teenager’s deodorant filled with bad odor and angst, prescription, you name it, I’ve tried it. The best deodorant for women, for stinky women like myself, is a deodorant with at least 19% Aluminum Zirconium Tetrachlorohydrex Glycine. Say that ten times fast. My favorite in this category is…

I’m really excited to have a guest blogger this week. Excited because I am completely spent after writing fast and furious for the last several days to meet a freelance deadline, and excited because Aly Brooks from the blog A Little Great is here all week to talk fashion! You know how I love the fashion. I’ll make an appearance every day, but stay tuned for great fashion advice this week. What to Wear this Spring – Printed Skirts Spring…

I love Spring and Summer fashion more than any other. Well, that’s not strictly true as Fall fashion is killer. But that’s neither here nor there. Spring is upon us and I’m totally excited about what I found browsing Old Navy last night. I could wear this outfit all summer long. I probably will, in fact. This version of the Maxi dress makes anybody look like a rock star, and is so comfortable. Aviator Sunglasses $9.50 Jersey Sundown Dress $20…

Do you know about ModCloth? It’s a sad truth that I didn’t until I met the adorable Erin Loechner from Design For Mankind at the Alt Summit in January. Apparently most of her wardrobe hails from ModCloth, and the girl knows how to dress. I was doing some innocent browsing just now, and look what I spotted right off the bat: I think I need these in my life. Yes?
Did you have an Oscar contest with your family and friends last night? We did, and I think Precocious might have taken the whole thing just by playing *eeny meenie miny mo* with her Oscar picks. She doesn’t know any of the movies or stars, and I think it helped. I was rooting for Meryl long before she hit the red carpet, I loved her in Julie & Julia and I think she deserved the Oscar for her performance. She…

I want to share something with you, something that might be life changing, but at the very least will make your day-to-day life easier. I’m always up for easier, aren’t you? Let me introduce you to Kirkland Daily Facial Towelettes. They’re heaven, pure and simple. I used to be the girl who took her makeup off with baby wipes {hey, there’s nothing wrong with it Carina!} but then I changed the error of my ways and started using these. I…

London Afternoon by Petit Elefant I was reading one of my favorite blogs ever the other night, Go Fug Yourself, when I followed a link from their blog to a link to another link and ended up at a website called Polyvore. Holy fish paste Squidward, that place is fun. I went deep into the night creating one set after another. You can create boundaries too, so if you’re a tight wad like me, you can put a limit on…
