When I was young, still living at home, I'd leave the house for a run and hide my key under the potted plant near the front door. I'd never try this trick today. Instead, I might use one of these simple Wrist Cuff Wallets I found on Etsy. They couldn't be cuter or cheaper ($5) … Continue reading DIY and Wear a Recycled Tee on Your Wrist

There's something special about treating myself … Continue reading Heart Day Every Day

I'm not one to clutter my closet with the latest trends - my fashion focus is more about quality than quantity.

The … Continue reading Two Tees for All Seasons
I'm a California girl so I don't talk much about wool coats or down jackets. Maybe 5/365 I'll need more than a sweater, scarf and light jacket, so I'm set with my two timeless cold-weather coats. But sometimes it's hard to resist all the hoodies and leather jackets and pea coats! The eco-movement has inspired … Continue reading Hard to Resist Eco-Coats

I'm a giver. Finding an item that seems perfectly suited for a friend is like happening upon a buried treasure - I can't pass it up! I buy and give and it doesn't have to be any one's birthday or anniversary. (This in no way makes me immune to the talent of taking, by the … Continue reading I’m Forked!

One of the hottest fashion trends this spring is the so-called tunic. Unfortunately, when I hear that word my eyes roll back in my head and all I can visualize is the floral muumuu my mom wore on our trip to Hawaii in 1973. Despite that, I decided I wouldn't sleep until I found at … Continue reading Don’t Let the Muumuus Get You Down
