I love makeup. I started wearing blue eye shadow, sparkly pink blush and hot pink lipstick for dance recitals at the tender age of 3, and began wearing makeup every day in 7th grade, after a girl in my art class gently suggested some foundation would make my insane acne a bit less noticeable. SInce my mom […]
Hey, y’all! I’ve been traveling like crazy for the past week and a half-ish, and I haven’t had much time to breathe, let alone blog, sadly. But I’m finally home! And I wanted to talk about a fabulous date night Toby and I had a few weeks ago in La Jolla. We try to go […]
Although we’ve lived in California for almost a year, Toby and I still feel like newbies. Sure, we have our favorite restaurants and I’m on a first-name basis with employees at both local Kate Spade stores, but the only time we really attempted to “go out” was kind of a disaster. We are definitely not cool […]
As someone with both sensitive feet and a love of beautiful high heels, choosing shoes is not easy. My job makes it extra difficult, since I don’t always know how long I’ll be standing, how far I’ll be walking, or what kind of terrain I may have to traverse on any given day. Even sensible […]
When I was getting my hair color done on Saturday at Twig Hair Lounge, I noticed a sign for Sustainable Beauty Day. The event, in honor of Earth Day, raises money for the Fruit Tree Planting Foundation. And Twig was offering a braid bar and flower-crown making, along with other fun activities, so I decided […]
I hope y’all are having a happy Easter! We woke up to jelly beans and chocolate eggs from the Easter bunny, went to a lovely church in Encinitas, stopped at the beach to snap some photos and then had an amazing brunch at Searsucker in Del Mar. Coconut pancakes with macadamia nuts and Kahlua […]
There’s something about baseball-style shirts that I have never been able to resist. I had a white and pale yellow one from Gap when I was in high school, and I wore that thing into the ground. So, obviously I was excited when I noticed the style is coming back in vogue — so I […]
Wearing jeans to work is a tricky business. You don’t want them too tight or too casual, but they still need to fit reasonably well and be comfortable, or what’s the point? I actually got these jeans for my trip to Afghanistan. They’re a little mom-tastic in that the waistband comes up past my belly […]
While it is technically spring in the northern hemisphere, I know many of you are not experiencing the most spring-like temperatures. It’s been mainly sunny around here, with a few rainy, windy patches, but it’s also been cool during the day and downright chilly at night. The day I took these photos started off gray […]
I apologize for my absence lately; I’ve been working on some recipes and trying to get some new fashion posts ready to go, but I’ve gotten bogged down and haven’t had much time to post. However, since I actually ventured out of the house a few days this week, I snapped some photos using my […]
