Tick tock

I have mentioned before that I have a slight addiction to watches. They are such a fun accessory to add to an outfit, especially with the variety that is available. From classic metals to leather bands in every color imaginable to stripes and sports inspired, I’ve gathered a few that I’d happily add to my […]

Whoopie!

If you don’t know by now, I have a love of sweets and chocolate is often involved. Yesterday I celebrated the birthday of one of my best friends. We share a love for sweets in general, but in particular, Trader Joe’s whoopie pies (or as we in PA know them as gobs). If you have […]

I heart bright denim

Sorry if I lost ya on this one guys, but pass it along to your wife/girlfriend/sister/mother! I know it’s tempting to buy new dresses for weddings, but when it comes to showers I typically can’t justify […]

Ombre and Floral Pants

Well, I did it. Although nervous, I took the plunge and am no longer a blonde. The first day I was planning on when I’d be going back to blonde. But as a few days passed, I started recognizing myself again in the mirror and started to embrace this new look. It’s quite a change […]

My week in Pink

A Newfound Love
