When skinny jeans and leggings began making a comeback on the fashion scene a few years ago, I scoffed and promised, "I would not be caught DEAD wearing those. They are flattering on NOBODY except waif-like supermodels. Never. Not ever."And now, here we are, where on a typical morning I rest my chin … [Read more...]

I’ll Show YOU Quick and Easy
I've seen a lot of cookbooks out there that claim to cater to the rushed, harried meal providers out there.

These Boots
I found the perfect pair of boots this fall and have been wearing them everyday. They go well with skinny jeans or leggings tucked in, or with a nice dress or pencil skirt. Basically, they complement all my outfits and I fid myself wondering if it's wrong to love them this hard. If it is, I don't … [Read more...]
Covered and Cold
