I am in LOVE with everything about this look: The dress is perfect (both the one being worn AND the one being shown!) The color is the most wonderful shade of rosy nude and likely compliments about a thousand different skin tones. The moto jacket – what can I say. Perfection. Goes everywhere, goes with…
Doesn’t it make you NUTS when you’re trying to get the last valuable drops of your favorite (and super expensive) lotion or potion out of the container but it just won’t budge? I feel like the way packaging is designed these days it is meant to frustrate the consumer and make us wasteful, because there…

Since Valentine’s Day ( the ultimate date-night) is closing in on us, we figured it would be a good idea brush up on the classic red lip. I don’t know if it’s the color red itself, or confidence of the girl wearing it, but red lips are a marker of sex appeal. Unfortunately, applying red…
As a Lucky Alpha Shopper, I recently got to shop Lands’ End Canvas for a “look” for less than $100. I had briefly heard of Lands End new brand “Canvas” about a month ago, but I hadn’t had a chance to check out the items. I’m glad I got to check it out because I…
If you’re only looking for a few pieces this Fall, definitely consider getting a skinny cargo pant. They began trending last Spring and are totally mainstream and on-trend for the upcoming season. Initially, I had mixed feelings about them, probably because of my aversion to traditional cargos. Those have always been too crunchy and utilitarian for…

MUCH ADO ABOUT A MUTE SWAN: Part 6 “Swan Eye for the Human Guy” I think every woman knows when her Prince comes. I knew my Prince had come when I met the man who elaborately bathed himself before dining with me every evening. Personal hygiene is always a plus and it’s certainly difficult to…
MUCH ADO ABOUT A MUTE SWAN: Part 4 “The Coldest Day of December” The interesting thing about mute swans is that they mate for life. They reach maturity around 2 years of age and that’s when they start scouring the pond for available males and females. The pond turns into a veritable bar scene on…
