in the Nude

No, not naked- but forgoing clothes with a pair of these may make for an interesting evening..! The barely there look is only flattering for some when it comes to full out clothing, however the “nude” shoe is a universal pleaser! There’s many shades and styles and I’ve had my eye on a few splurge worthyContinue reading “in the Nude”

Drama Queen.

So in case you don’t know this- I’m really into theater. In my high school days my niche was “drama kid” and I was in “Glee” before it was even a thing. Singing in particular is a passion of mine. I’ve “starred” (local in south florida that is) in 9 full productions between high school and college; 7 of these being Musicals (myContinue reading “Drama Queen.”

Tis the season…

For sunless tanner! Now, my complexion is closer to porcelain than a Baywatch babe even in the height of summer. I tanned relentlessly to prep for my wedding in June and was left “slightly bronzed.” Now that’s it’s winter here, I am pasty to say the least, and my heavy handed bronzer was beginning toContinue reading “Tis the season…”

In.vest.ed

I’ve recently fallen in love with J.Crew. I’ve always admired this classic yet, fresh brand. One of my favorite purchases is this great puffer vest. I saw it when I walked in the store and just had to have it. Despite my husband making “Mr. T” jokes (esp. when the vest is paired with gold chains), I love throwing it onContinue reading “In.vest.ed”

Lady Lush

I need to share my latest and greatest obsession…all things LUSH. Recently a dear friend of mine turned me on to this line of skin and haircare products. Mind you, I had seen this store before and been somewhat overwhelmed by the mass quantity of brightly colored concoctions everywhere. I needed some guidance. They haveContinue reading “Lady Lush”

The right..

I’m excited that the facebook-politic-ing can stop for a bit after we find out who wins it tonight. No matter which way you swing on the political pendulum, exercise your right to vote.

With flowers in her hair.

If there’s something to know about me and J (my husband) it’s that we love to travel. When J decided to leave theContinue reading “With flowers in her hair.”
