Looking at this outfit, I have zero idea what season I’m in. The dress says Spring, the sweater says Fall, and the boots say Winter. I guess you could say that we are transitioning in to Spring around here, but that would be a lie since Winter never really showed up. I find myself at [...]

The other day I saw a video on Facebook about Ashley from Lil Blue Boo entitled “Rite of Passage”. I don’t want to give it away since the video literally had me in tears, but the message of her video, and many recent posts on her blog is to Choose Joy. A simple message, really, but [...]

A random happy accident. One of those things that just puts a smile on your face cause it was totally unexpected, yet just what you needed. That’s how this outfit came to be. It started nowhere near how it ended up. No mustard top, a skirt, and no tights. Bor.ing. It felt awesome to [...]

I’ve done a really good job in the last few months of purging my closet. If it hasn’t seen the light of day since before LJ, then it’s already gone. No more “I’ll lose enough weight for it to fit” or “but I really like it, I’ll wear it” or the worst, “it still has [...]

Last week I was beyond excited when I walked into Gap and saw “my” pink blazer staring back at me from across the store. Sold out online, my only hope was to find this baby in store. With my 40% off coupon in hand, there was only one thing that coupon was destined for. I [...]

I was so happy last week when we made it to Friday and I hadn’t come down with the horrible stomach flu that my hubs came down with on Monday. Then Saturday hit….and I didn’t see the world until yesterday. It was fun. Sweater: UO, Tee/Jean: Gap, Boots: Comfortview, Necklace: c/o Lisa Leonard Designs It [...]

I’m all about the bargain. It’s always a blast to snag something amazing off the clearance rack at Old Navy or Target, and even better when I have a coupon too! While I will probably never turn my back on those beloved stores and their spectacular clearance racks, there is often one thing missing. Quality. I [...]

Today I’m over at Bouffe e Bambini, pulling back the curtain that is the web and talking about the Brutal Truth. Stop by Hanna’s and read mine, hers, and other amazing bloggers real stories. Get to know the girls behind the screen. There’s even awesome embarassing old photos to boot! ***Don’t Forget! We are T-MINUS [...]

I’ve lived in LA for 22 of my almost 28 years on this planet. Aside from the winter of 1994 when we had the big Northridge earthquake, I can’t remember the last time we’ve had this little cold or wet weather all the way into February. It’s gonna be a nasty fire season if the [...]

With my birthday only 3 weeks away, I’m eagerly awaiting shopping funds. While now I’m relegated to internet browsing and magazine perusing, the day when funds are burning a hole in my pocket will arrive all too quickly… and I need a game plan I’ve been dying for cobalt pants for months, but didn’t really [...]

Lately I feel like I’m running on fumes. There’s been so much to do, not enough time to do it in, and even though I’m getting a decent night’s sleep, I’m still tired all day. I guess that’s the life of a slightly over-committed momma, but don’t we all do that? It’s times like this [...]

The other day I saw this pin on Pinterest and it totally caught my eye. Source: jcrew.com via Nina on Pinterest Not only do I love the combo, I have many similar pieces to put this look together myself! I was so excited to make this look my own, but I’m not sure I [...]

It was hard to not have a big goofy grin in every single one of these pictures! I’ve seen this dress/jeans/sweater combo many times by the one and only Lindsey. It always looks so stinkin’ cute on her but frankly, she’d look amazing in a burlap sack. Add 50ish pounds, take away 5ish inches and [...]

For as long as I can remember, I’ve always heard that you don’t mix black and brown. Black shoes….black bag. Brown belt….brown pants. That’s just how it goes. Then I got into this style blogging thing and saw black and brown being mixed all over the place. And the weirdest thing, I liked it. I’ve [...]

Yesterday was a gift from Heaven. LJ slept though the night without getting out of bed or playing with his trains. We had a productive morning, a trip to the gym where he was a perfect angel at Kids Club. He fell asleep in the car on the way home and stayed asleep for a solid [...]
