Crumbs Bake Shop emailed me a few weeks ago and asked if I would be willing to taste test and post about their cupcakes. I don’t usually blog about food and I don’t claim to be a food connesuir, but I love getting my hands on a cupcake once in a while! I didn’t have…

As a Matter of Fact I Can’t Fit into My Size 4 Jeans After Having Just Given Birth… Dear Readers, all of us mothers have certainly come across that urban myth about the friend, of the friend, of an acquaintance who went to high school with the so-and-so who used to know our sister, but…

My wardrobe is full of pieces that almost look great – just a little too tight here, not so flattering there… While losing a few would be ideal, what am I to do in the meantime? I don’t have time to slim down before holiday parties, but that doesn’t mean I don’t want to look…
This Holiday Season, Eat Your Heart Out and Still Look Swell, Without Looking ‘Swollen’ Oh my! Is it that time again? All of a sudden I am hearing Perry Como, from the 1958 recording, gently crooning “It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas” in the background. The kids are all sweetly tucked under fleece…
Say hello to Marie, who is guest posting for us today to share a little insight on plus size fashion! As plus size fashions become more readily available, we find ourselves with more options, choices, and motivations for wanting to put our best curve forward! But where does one begin to fashion her curves with…
How to Get Through the HolidaysWithout the D Word Coming Back to Haunt You The “D” word you say? Why, whatever could that be? Dysfuntion? Well, of course, not. Dysfunction never shows up around the holidays! It especially never shows up if your mother-in-law is present. Mother-in-laws, after all, are experts in every field, including the field of…
I just started reading Twilight. (I know, a little late to the game on that one.) It’s a totally enjoyable, guilty pleasure read, but I probably wouldn’t have picked it up if it weren’t for the overwhelming vampire takeover going on in pop culture. Any trend that burns this bright is destined to crash hard…
I have to admit that I grew up in a rather proper home, with a proper mother who knew how to set the table just so, and how to use which spoon when and with what. However, as proper as my own mother was, my grandmother was even more so. My grand-mother, having been born…
If you’re like me, you look forward every year to the September issues of all the fashion magazines. I still love to read through them and look at the new trends for the season. Certain magazines I could never relate to, however, like Vogue and Bazaar because for one thing, the prices on the clothes…
Feel the love with boho-inspired pieces this Fall. Looking like a hippie is “in” this season… as long as you look like a rich hippie! Look for rich paisley prints in multicolor, jewel or earth tones. Embroidered details give your outfit a homespun look. Flowy dresses, embroidered tunics, paisley prints and maxi dresses worn with…
Hello girls! I’ve been seeing so much excitement over a few posts that talk about the coming season’s trends. Everyone is commenting and sharing their opinions. That’s terrific! We certainly appreciate that -keep the comments coming. ;) But some comments made me think… How much is it worth to spend for a trendy item? Let’s…
Ok, that may sound weird at first. But I got into this very nice group called “Fashionable Girlfriends” at meetup.com a while ago. They have had one clothes swapping event that I missed. But I’m planning to attend the next one. Sounds like lot of fun: girls, music, drinks, food, clothes, shoes! Do we need…
So this fall we have fur. So many trends that I’m really lost! I don’t really like furry clothes. For some reason, I think they make us look big and like a big, hairy animal. Ok, of course that sometimes nothing looks as chi5c and elegant as fur. But, oh well. It’s not my “thing”….
Last week, I introduced you gals to off-price retail through my post about the supreme awesomeness of TJ Maxx. I loved reading all your stories about why you love TJ Maxx, and what great bargains you’ve scored there! As I shared, TJ Maxx has always been a favorite shopping location of mine- but I’ll be…
