Wanna talk panties real quick?

Let’s.

I’m not a big fancy panty type person. I just want something that is really comfortable and usually when you have comfy panties, they are not much else. But we all know that a pair of fancy panties can make us feel better about ourselves as we are going about our daily chores and that in general the guys like it. It’s kind of like putting make-up on even if you aren’t going to leave the house. It still counts. Fancy panties count. They do.

We’re gonna get a little personal here, so lean in… I hate thongs. HATE THEM. I do love that I don’t have panty lines when I wear them, but that is about it. I have tried every style, every cut, every fabric (my panty drawer proves it!) and I still can not bring myself to be one with the thong. No way, no how. But I despise those nasty panty lines and after two kids, my buns are a little more saggy so any piece of elastic near my buns creates a panty line. I know, very personal, but I doubt I am alone!

I recently picked up these on a whim at Old Navy of all places! And I love them, they are fancy, but comfortable and NO panty line! I thought of taking pictures of my bottom in jeans to show you the difference but I figured that may not be appropriate and do I really want to put my bottom all over the internet? No. So take my word! Pick up a couple of pairs and try them for yourself! You won’t be disappointed and neither will your hubby!

Sale at OLD NAVY!


I live in Michigan where the weather on a July day can be the most delightful you can imagine. And then for pretty much every other day of the year we have a saying that goes like this “If you don’t like the current weather, wait 5 minutes and it will change.” Today for instance it started out at freezing rain, then went to more of a spring rain, followed by dense fog around noon and snow forcasted for tonight. Nice, huh?

Well, Old Navy sales are a bit like Michigan weather these days! Always changing! Which all things considered is a much better thing to have constantly changing than say, precipitation.

So what is the sale these days? 20% OFF your whole order plus FREE SHIPPING! Awesome!

Like to Layer?

Layering is HOT, HOT, HOT this season – and lucky for us all this is an easy and AFFORDABLE trend!

I went to the mall recently, admittedly just to let my kids play. It is so cold and snowy here I figured that I could get a coffee and they could get wiggles out and then pretty much everyone leaves happy. While I was there I realized that I hadn’t actually been to the mall it quite some time – I am a die-hard online shopper. With two toddlers, I hardly have a choice. But, enough about me – while I was there I got some great inspiration while window shopping – and that ladies, is what I am here for. For you!

One trend that wasn’t hard to pick up on was layering – specifically the layering of short-sleeved sweaters with long-sleeved tops underneath.

Here’s some examples:

How cute and easy is this… so sharp!
Caslon Long Cardigan

This one doesn’t show a long sleeve top with it… but you get the idea right?
MICHAEL Michael Kors Kimono Sweater

Michael Stars makes layering a snap!
Michael Stars Shine Hooded Open Cardigan

Circular Scarves – Seen them?

This time of year you would be hard pressed to find me WITHOUT a big cozy scarf around my neck. Not only are they an amazing accessory to have on hand to perk up any outfit; they are just plain warm!

These circular scarves are awesome and they are popping up in all styles and colors these days. Pretty much it is just one big circle of scarf material and then you are free to wrap it as much or as little as you like! They are also called “eternity” or “moibus” scarves… call them what you like – I’m digging them!

Here are a few of my faves… courtesy of shopbop.com!

How hot does this look with the black biker jacket? And it’s on sale! I’ll take one of each, please!

3 Fantastic Gifts UNDER $30!


If you aren’t shopping the Gap this year for Christmas (or any Christmas for that matter) you are missing out. Every time I stop in there this time of year I just fall in love with their simple classic designs that make the Gap the one stop shop for Christmas gifts. I did quite a bit of shopping there with Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales… what I got I can’t tell you in case there are any of my recipients out there! The Gap has compiled a fantastic gift guide with everything coming in at $30 or less! What a deal!

Check out my faves…


Women: GapBody scented wax candle – winter spice




I can not rave ENOUGH about these candles, I buy one every year and burn it well through the winter months. It smells both wintry and Christmasy and lasts so long. You are probably thinking, a candle from a clothes store? Trust me, Gap has put these candles out for YEARS and I just love them! They are perfect gifts for children’s teachers, neighbors or even your hairstylist!


Men: Leather gloves – brown




These gloves are a great gift for any man on your list… dad, husband, uncle or the weird guy in the next cubicle whose name you chose in the office Secret Santa game.


Women: Striped leg warmers – heather lamb white




Legwarmers don’t mess around. They keep you extra warm with ease and are becoming so trendy these days. Sport them sticking out of your Uggs, around the house, or over your legs while your feet are bare in heels (I for the record, use them all three ways – I LOVE legwarmers!!) Perfect for your babysitter, your sisters, your girlfriends and you!
