I truly don’t remember what I wore on my feet during the winter months before I owned boots.  They have been a solid staple in my closet for the past 5 years or so and I can’t imagine bearing the cold weather without them. Last year Tucson dipped into the low 20 degree range (which is…

I want to begin this post by saying that this manicure was a partial fail on my part. It still looks totally cute and I’ve been getting boat loads of compliments, it just wasn’t as successful as I had hoped. Here’s why:  1) I bought 99 cent polish and…you get what you pay for. 2)…

 A trend I do not see disappearing any time soon are cap toe flats, a very chic take on a ballet flat. They definitely add that little pop of fancy you might want for a date night or an important interview. I haven’t found any for a decent price, so I went ahead and transformed…

Without sounding too much like an infomercial, I’d really like to rave a little bit about my new Clarisonic brush. I had really never heard of these brushes until an aesthetician at my work recommended I try one to help with my problematic T-Zone. After glancing at the price tag I laughed in my head and told…

A style icon of many, Audrey Hepburn’s 50’s/60’s chic style has been inspiration to me from the first time I watched Roman Holiday. Mimicking your favorite style icon can be a fun way to liven up your style. I dressed up a few simple pieces and gave them a very Holly Golightly a la Breakfast…

When I’m feeling a little bored with top-knots or if I have no time to curl my hair, milkmaid braids are a great option. They can be worn dressy or casual! I find that braids make for a romantic and girly look, especially if adorned with a flower! What you’ll need: Rubber bands, teasing comb,…

 I wrote my last “5 Things” post in the beginning of what would end up being an extremely toasty summer. 2012 has been a busy year and it is amazing to see where I was a mere 3 months ago compared to now! Back in June I was recovering from my last marathon of college…

Tucson’s weather gets two GIANT thumbs up from me this week. Not only did it rain several days in a row, the temperatures are slowly dropping.  To Tucsonans, 88 degree highs are a gift from above! I had some packages to ship and some thrifting to do today and since it was raining, I wanted a…

The last few days I’ve been feeling very under the weather. It’s only gotten worse this weekend, so I’m going to leave you all with some fall-inspired Etsy goods that have caught my eye recently. Hope you don’t mind! If you haven’t shopped on Etsy, you’re in for a real treat. Individual sellers list unique…

I spent my last day off this week cleaning up my embarrassingly messy room. In the process, I realized I had three different handbags full of…junk. I decided it was time to dump the junk and get organized! I think the easiest way to stay clutter free is to limit how often you switch handbags.…
