A couple of weeks ago, I was forced (well, almost) to stop wearing  my contacts after a nasty eye infection from…well, wearing my contact lenses too frequently.  I guess after a solid 3 year run, the jig was up.   Now, I’m still learning how to navigate while wearing my glasses and feeling comfortable about wearing [...]

(image source) 1. Do you think fashion blogs are often just conspicuous consumption? Are some? I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I didn’t think that some fashion blogs displayed great amounts of conspicuous consumption.  I mean, many fashion bloggers really like to shop, right?  However, I don’t judge or point fingers at anyone [...]

(Image via We Heart It) As my birthday nears, I keep reflecting on my previous post about the tasks/goals I set for myself at age 26.   If I wanted to be pessimistic, I’d say that I did pretty well in failing to achieve even half of these goals, but I’m not going to go that [...]

I have decided to participate in the weekly Friend Friday Q&A sessions, provided by ModlyChic.  I thought the topics were stimulating and opened up wonderful dialogue.  This week’s topic deals with size, which in a discussion can be polarizing in itself.  Here are my thoughts on size, the term “plus size” and my own size [...]

Since the weather was beautiful, but steaming hot, I decided that dresses were going [...]

[7OcgoZiFk_I] I’ve been watching old videos of the late Lena Horne lately and came across this Gap commercial from 1997. Ms. Horne looked as stylish and beautiful as always. Rest in peace to a woman who has always given us that bright smile. The Lena Horne I’ll Always Remember

(Image via We Heart It) That image above is not really how I feel about my computer at the moment, although I do feel like I should be easier on the machine. It’s the reason I’ve been MIA from the internet for the past week or so (occasional tweet not withstanding) and I haven’t been [...]
