Ladies and gentlemen, my latest addiction: Inspiration boards on color, style or event type. Wishlists that can span as many different sites and shops as you want. Yummy food recipes with delicious pictures. Funny things. Cute things. Pinterest has and is all of this,...
Trends I Love with Abandon Skinny jeans/pants. I never thought I'd jump on the skinny jean bandwagon, but I'm definitely a convert. They do amazing things for my posterior, and are easy to pair with different shoe types. Colorful tights and thigh-highs. I haven't...
Music can be very powerful to me, but it seems like most of this last year I kind of let slide my appreciation and exploration of it. So the last few weeks I've tried to focus on discovering a lot of new music/bands, and re-discovering some old goodies that I hadn't...
I had such fun with both the Cold Hands Warm Hearts gift swap, and the holiday gift swap through Etsy Texas Crafters, that I decided to organize one of my own! So, introducing the Be My Valentine Gift Swap! Why should Valentine's Day be just about lovers/significant...
Well, it almost didn't happen, but I managed to squeeze in a What I Wore post for December. Yesterday was amazingly nice out - 71 degrees, sunny with blue skies. This is why I live in Texas. 🙂 It called for a summery outfit, and I went with a nice breezy dress and...

I have fairly long legs compared to the size of my waist, so finding jeans or pants that fit right can be a bit of a problem. Generally, if they fit through the thigh and legs and are long enough, they are too big in the waist. What this means is that I end up wearing...
My boyfriend FINALLY got back from the latest out-of-country-for-work stint this past weekend. He was in Korea for a whole month! It wasn't quite as bad as last year's trip, even though it was a week longer, because we got to video chat pretty regularly through...
