BEFORE: If you are leasing, these are all cosmetic changes! I think its a great reminder that paint and accessories can do wonders. I wanted this bathroom to look nice for guests staying with us during the week of our wedding, but obviously, since I was getting married, I didn't have the time or money … Continue reading Guest Bathroom: No-Demo-Reno
Work wear in the dead of summer
Like most Arizonans, I have reached my tolerance of heat this summer. It gets to a point where you can't fathom wearing anything but flip flops, shorts and a plain t-shirt because anything more is pure torture (especially during the random days with humidity). This is a real struggle when you still need to look nice for your job, and … Continue reading Work wear in the dead of summer
Neck Scarves
A scarf? A scarf in summer? Yes and yes. They aren't just for winter, and they aren't just made of wool and fleece.

I am really liking the new high rise skinnies, mainly because they hide FUPA, but let's be honest, those are not comfortable. I challenge you all to give these a … Continue reading Culottes: a Triumphant Story Part 1 of 2
Feminine dress + Casual shoes
This outfit was inspired by a look I saw on SincerelyJules. She is really great at mixing femininity with Normcore/casualwear. Most of us have a really girly feminine dress in our closet, and many of us also have a pair of tennis shoes or old slip-on Vans we save for Disneyland trips (No? Just me?) I think the idea of … Continue reading Feminine dress + Casual shoes
Clubbin’ shoes
This look was inspired by an outfit I saw Olivia Palermo in. These heels are normally not something I would consider purchasing, because like most, I am looking for items I can wear to work. I bought these shoes at Charlotte Russe, who styled them like most would, with a tight, short, no-way-you can have … Continue reading Clubbin’ shoes
