Thanks to the boy's satellite radio, I can actually instantly know the band for a song that catches my attention while we're driving somewhere. This happened with Home by Dotan the other week, and I promptly bought the album it came from on iTunes when we got home....
I assume most of my readers are ladies, and as such I'm going to share something with you today that I think we all could use. If you are, oh I don't know, any kind of normal woman, bra shopping can be a pain in the tush. Particularly figuring out what bra size fits...
Remember how I used to not like mustard yellow, or corduroy, or ballet flats? This is another thing that falls under the category 'never thought I'd like and now I totally do'. Tribal-inspired prints are everywhere this fall, and I'm loving it. So I rounded up a few...
I'm not sure if you know this, readers, but I have a pretty serious sweet tooth. Like, ice cream is an acceptable meal and I have a candy dish in the living room and a chocolate stash at my desk and pretty much nothing is better than a good piece of pie or cake or...
I've recently stumbled into Grooveshark, and thought today I'd share some of my favorite songs. This will probably be an ever-changing and constantly updated list. But right now it has some long-time favorites, and some current obsessions. I actually get to see one of...
My range of movie-viewing is pretty wide. I'm equally happy watching a Bruce Willis action flick or a period drama or a romantic comedy or a quirky indie dramady. But I think my favorite are the type that are otherwise a normal storyline, but add just a little bit of...
Music has always been a pretty big part of my life. I was in band. And choir. And took piano lessons for years and years. Near the end of high school and on into college, I also got into theater. These two interests met and merged and a love of dramatic musicals was...
In case you still need to do some holiday shopping, I thought I'd share with you some of my favorite online, handmade/small business shops. Of course, they're good anytime, not just for the holidays. But I'll use the season as an excuse to give shout-outs to these...
This originally appeared as a guest post over on Sandy a la Mode. Aubergine. Plum. Eggplant. Violet. Purple. Whatever you want to call it, this color has been a heavy hitter in fashion ever since ye old days when only royalty could afford it. Luckily you don't have to...
Well, the day has come. I never thought it would, but it has. I actually like a shade of yellow. Not just tolerate-like, but actively, enthusiastically-like. Mustard yellow is now a prominent color in my wardrobe. You can see me sporting it here, and I know I've worn...
