It's here!! Family Matters is out now.
I’ll admit it… I’m pretty immature some days. It probably has something to do with wanting to still be a child, but there are some parts of my day that could just use a little more fun. Case and point: lunch time. I know this isn’t fashion-related… but bear with me! I don’t usually feel…
One of my favorite singers, bar-none, almost wasn’t. That’s right. Her career almost never got started at the ripe old age of sixteen. She was sent to an audition at a famous singing hall because of the sound of her voice. A voice that was so sweet it sounded like angels carrying spoons of dripping…
Christmas is a wonderful time to show your love and thanks to friends and family, and the life that you’ve built with them. But with managing chores, errands, and parties, it can get pretty difficult to know what to buy for those who are on your nice list. Here’s some ideas for the housewife in…
This Holiday Season, Eat Your Heart Out and Still Look Swell, Without Looking ‘Swollen’ Oh my! Is it that time again?

Yes it’s true. I kind of hate winter, What? It’s not like I hate Christmas, or the snow (much) or the jolly laughter of little children playing in the snow, I just hate freezing. Actually, I hate the cold waging it’s yearly war on my sexy skin, by drying it out and thus causing flaking…

Of course having a jet black shag haircut will definitely help with this style, but it’s not required! Want to recreate this look for yourself without a total makeover? Here’s how you do it – pick your…
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.

I can’t believe it’s the last day of August. I have NO idea where my summer went. Well… actually I do. I spent way too much time blogging and answering emails and not enough time swimming and playing with my 2 year old. Today, it feels like the last day of September, even though it’s…
When I was asked to try out the Sansa slotRadio, I was a little skeptical and thought “Oh no… Not another little music device…” but I was willing to give it a shot and see what this little portable music device was all about. I had heard a little bit about it beforehand and lots…
