Mother’s Day is coming up. That’s one of the few days of the year where it seems that everyone, everywhere has brunch with their mom. My family is no different. Sometimes we have brunch at home, and sometimes we go out. No matter where you’re eating with mom, though, one thing is certain. Everyone deserves a really great cocktail. These cocktails are perfect for Mother’s Day, brunch, or ...
Do the men in your life need some assistance in the fashion department? It seems that most of the guys I run into fall into one of two distinct camps - the ones that just don't care, and the ones that are trying - and simply missing the mark. Well, we're here to help you - and the fellas - out with these guy approved shoes for summer. Maybe with a little luck, and some strong encouragement, ...
As I mentioned before, Spring seems to be a time of total hair renewal. I thought that maybe I was the only one, but, as it turns out, I’m not. YAY! I heard from lots of you that Spring makes you want to do crazy hair things, too. Don’t worry though! As long as you don’t do anything too drastic that you can’t live with – like shaving your head – it will all be good. These are some of our favorite ...
Now that Spring is here, that means one of the less pleasant aspects of the season is arriving too – allergies. Blargh! I’m desperately trying not to claw my eyes out while simultaneously stopping the faucet that my nose has become. And the pressure…UGH!! And we won’t even mention what happens when you start to cough or sneeze. Because, honestly, it happens to everyone. A little bit of ...
One of the things I love the most about Spring is the return of sandals. You see, my toes love the fresh air and freedom that sandals provide. Besides that, no one can see my toenail polish in a pair of boots – no matter how fabulous they are! Sandals come in all shapes, sizes, and styles. Gone are the days that sandals were relegated to only weekend wear and casual occasions. 2015 sandals trends ...
I’m always looking for some kind of something to organize my cra….errr…treasures. Yeah, treasures. For a while it was trinket boxes, and then it was storage bins. While those are both great solutions, I needed something different. Something to sort of wrangle the bottles of perfume and larger items that I use regularly. I was looking at these vintage silver trays one day, and it hit me. A vanity ...
I’ve always loved lace. My first infatuation with the delicate fabric was when Madonna was in the beginning of her career. The little bit trashy look with the dark roots and all the jewelry – I thought she was the most beautiful and special being there ever was. And I wanted to be JUST LIKE HER. And, well…Madonna wore lace. And so I was determined that I would wear lace too. Fast forward 25+ ...
Sooo…I’m a sucker for trashy TV. Like, I don’t even think you understand. Talk shows lure me in. Will they ever find out who the real father is? TV court shows are good too. You have to know getting someone a cell phone only leads to trouble. And the shows like Real Housewives? O.M.G…Can’t. Look. Away. That’s part of the reason I’m soooo excited that Real Housewives of New York is back! And ...
