Memorial Day is nearly upon us, and I couldn’t me more excited to officially kick off picnic season. Picnicking combines three of my favorite things: friends/family, sunshine and food! Although they’re casual, picnics are meant to be social affairs, which means both being comfortable and looking good. Too often I’ve either felt sloppy in cut-off [...]

In college, my bag of choice was a backpack. It held all of my books, my schedules, and even what I could hoard from the cafeteria. Now, when I’m out and about, I want that same type of storage, but in something slightly cuter. Nuo’s Chloe Dao Collection is here to put the funk in [...]

This weekend marks the official beginning of summer, but it’s also the beginning of another sort of phenomenon, the opening of the Sex and City 2 movie.  And while everyone is buzzing about what Carrie and Co are wearing ( I must admit I’ve had my eye on that Halston Heritage white dress SJP sports in the promos), I’m salivating over [...]

Naturally, I fall in love with the super-pricey ones made with real gemstones and gold nuggets, but there’s beauty to be had at every price point and for every personality. Whether you like your accessories edgy or earthy, preppy [...]

So now I’m going to post about one of my least favorite shower activities–shaving. It’s necessary, if I don’t want to be hairy, but oh how I can’t stand it; balancing on one leg to make sure my skin is silky-smooth and nick-free.  The worst part? The messy shaving cream step, which if you skip it, your legs [...]

Boxes of these Tasty Organic Fruit Snacks have been appearing in my office kitchen for a while now, and no one seems to know where they came from. For a long time, I ignored them; I’m not usually a big fan of gummy snacks. But when the call of my sweet tooth grew too loud [...]

Where have I been? Target launched the Liberty of London for Target collection back in March, and I don’t know how on earth I missed it. Fortunately, this beautiful and totally-on-trend collection of clothing and housewares is still going strong, and new products are still launching. Both the home and fashion collections are full of [...]

If your bathroom needs a makeover but you don’t have the cash to redo tile, fixtures and plumbing, perhaps a little game of dress up will do. I’m in love with the color yellow this season and found these sunny brights are sure to bring some cheer into otherwise tired spaces. The tile shower curtain [...]
