Unstitched Utilities provided a pair of shoes for editorial purposes. All opinions are my own. What’s cute, grey, and wrinkly all over? If you guessed a baby elephant, you’d be wrong.

Victoria Footwear provided a pair of shoes for editorial purposes. All opinions are my own. One of the great things about fashion is that you can express yourself in any myriad of ways. For me, I love to wear shoes that are unexpected. Currently, the shoes I reach for most often are polka dot skimmers. I find that even when I’m bumming around in jeans and a tee, some ...
Hobie Sunglasses were provided for editorial purposes. All opinions are my own. Growing up in Southern California, Surf Culture was a huge influence in my life.

When I was a kid, I had beautiful golden blond straight hair. All I wanted was brown curly hair. I thought it was just beautiful. Now, my hair is naturally a light brown/dark red shade and it ...
We all love Downton Abbey, right? The show seems to take the whole world by storm, just a year ago. Whoda thunk that a BBC show that was airing on PBS in the states would do that? But it did. Michelle Dockery, who plays Lady Mary Crawley, was nominated for Outstanding Lead Actress In A Drama Series at the Emmy Awards 2013. For Michelle Dockery and her 2013 Emmys makeup look, makeup ...
Staples sent an assortment of their new Back to School items. All opinions are my own. One of the great joys of heading back to school is the shopping for school supplies. Uh huh, you know that’s right. I go check out the office and school supplies even though I don’t even have kids. I still can’t resist the siren’s song that is a brand new box of crayons or new markers. One of the ...
