When I was little, I was obsessed with playing with paper dolls. As an adult, I guess you could say I’m still equally obsessed, except the paper dolls have now become live human beings in the form of myself, my friends and pretty much anyone I can get my hands on. I love picking out [...]

Everybody hates Monday’s.  Except for maybe Sunday nights, it’s proably the least-liked day of the week. Poor Monday. It’s just always going to have a pretty bad rep.
I, however, not wanting to see that same poor kid picked last for the Dodgeball team, like to look at Monday’s as a fresh slate for the week. [...]

It’s Friday. It’s gray and it’s humid like crazy out. As in please stay indoors as long as possible today. It’s quite gross.
So to roundout this otherwise dreary Friday, I thought I’d start a recap of a weekly dose of what’s been going on in the fashion world. Both here and around the country. So [...]

Oh. My. Goodness. I’m literally marking my calendar so I can go early this year to the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. And boy am I excited. Last year I scored the most amazing pair of Spanx patterned tights for about half off (I’ve royally kicked myself since then for not having bought two pairs as, of [...]

As I write this post, there are officially 97 days, 23 hours, 13 minutes and 2 seconds until the Barneys New York store at Scottsdale Fashion Square opens and I could not be more excited. Yay! Most of us fashion-obsessed just can’t wait as a store like Barney’s in Arizona is long overdue.
I could quite [...]

When I started working on this story, I couldn’t believe how many beauty myths even I wasn’t sure about. There’s tons of beauty urban legends floating around that teach women, well, absolutely nothing true. Don’t get caught being one of those women; here’s five common beauty myths, busted.
