We need to have a conversation about bras. I know, it’s kind of personal, but it has to happen. Too many of us are wearing the wrong support and it makes a huge difference in how clothes hang on our bodies. Obviously my body doesn’t look like this underneath my clothes: Obviously. But, I am rather *ahem* well endowed and I can’t go gallivanting around without the right support or I look 5-10 lbs. heavier than I am. Did you…

Seriously, it feels amazing on your skin. Because we’re fancy at my house we use Western Family pure Olive Oil, but I’ve gone one step…

I’m speaking at the awesome Alt Summit design conference in Salt Lake City next week {I know, I KNOW!} and I’ve been thinking about what to wear. Of course I have, that’s how I roll.

Torino $95 {Sorel} I bet you didn’t know Sorel boots were cute these days. My memories of Sorels included the manly version that Viktor wears when he’s out chopping wood or doing other freezing winter activities. Warm? Yes. Cute? Not so much. Times, they are a changin’. These new hot pink, adorable, warm and snuggly Sorels are for women. Precocious has huge feet though, so she scored these. Lucky girl. They aren’t even the cutest in the batch. I’m totally…

I realized something when I was hanging out at my parents house on Christmas day: I am my mother’s daughter. After the present frenzy subsided, my mother brought out her hair basket to get gussied up for the day and I counted eight, {yes eight} Aveda products all stacked in a row inside a cute wire basket. Go mom. Here’s hoping you have a stylish and wonderful 2010. Happy New Year!
1. Finn Shoes by Eleven $50 Eleven shoes continue to delight in my house as even the outdoorsy, non-stop battling, scuffing Charming can’t seem to wear them out. They’re stylish and worth every extra penny for the endurance. If Charming can’t wear them out, no one can. 2. Kideko Monster Pajamas $34.95 Kideko, an Australian children’s company came onto my radar last year and I haven’t been able to get these pajamas out of my head since. Could these monster…

I went on a local NBC morning show called Studio 5 this past Thursday to talk about accessorizing outfits. I learned a few things about myself: 1. I’m a hand talker. Jazz hands flailed all around me, out of my control while I excitedly talked about accessories. 2. I don’t get nervous for live TV. Go figure. 3. The next time I do an on-air interview I guarantee I will have the plague, swine flu, or something worse. I literally…
