This is the easiest outfit out there right now; it takes two seconds to throw on, looks really pulled together, and is really comfortable to boot. Everybody wins. Shade Clothing Oxford Shirt + GAP Perfect Boot Jeans + Forever 21 Faux Leather Belt I cashed in my Brand About Town coupon {the people who sent me to Chicago} from BlogHer for a free pair of jeans, and I have to say I think GAP is onto something with their Perfect…

Remember when I talked about the gorgeous boots I found at a thrift store in the East Village in NYC a couple weeks ago? Here they are in all their glory: The best part is that these beauties set me back a grand total of $15. They’re Nine West, blue suede boots. Swoon. It’s hard for me to find a pair of Nine West shoes I don’t love. Nine times out of ten when I’m shoe shopping and I pick…

In case you haven’t noticed the pink everything, everywhere, it’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Surely you fall into one or more of those categories. How many people do you know…

I just have a lot to get out of my system first, not the least of which is all the fashion I absorbed in my short time there. I had an idea before I got on the plane to head east; I thought to myself how cool it would be to take photos of everyday people heading to and from work, parties, and school in…

While I was in NYC I made a visit to the fabulous makeup artist & eyelash guru Megan Soffe to get eyelash extensions. I have several very close friends with extensions {I’ll never tell who} and have been coveting them for a while, so the timing of this couldn’t have been better. Let’s let the photos do the talking, shall we? Before: The left eye has extensions, the other does not. Never mind how tired my eyes look, it’s the…

Goodness my baby is orally fixated. Happiest when chewing, sucking, gnawing. On anything his little hands can reach. He’s especially fond of teething rings but I hate to carry them in my tote because, well, who knows what lurks in the depths of the diaper bag? So what’s a mommy to do at the post office/restaurant/doctor/church/grocery store with a fussy, teething babe/ Roundhouse Design Collaborative, the creators of the oh, plah! bracelet (guess what, they are moms) wondered the same…

I hosted an e.l.f. makeup party for some of my nearest and dearest over the weekend. Oh, the good times we had. Mix together some cupcakes from Cupcake Chic {to die for}, flavored sparkling water {oh my!}, strawberries, a whole lot of makeup, & some of my best friends. Good, good times. I broke it up into several stations: eyes, lips, face {get it, get it?}, nails, and eyebrows. It’s imperative to have an eyebrow station if you’re doing makeup;…
