Thank you J.Jill for inviting us to your grand opening and media event at The Shops at Mission Viejo. I don’t want a lot for Christmas…. There is just one thing I need. This year the winter cold took a little longer to come around. So when the temperature finally dropped, I was ecstatic to…

I Knit Claire’s Outlander Cowl
Ever since I started watching, I have been obsessed with the knit fashions on Outlander. They show up on each episode. It all started with Claire’s cowl though. The instant I saw it, I knew I was going to try and recreate it. I just hoped someone else would join me on that trek and…
Outlander Inspired Knitting Project
It was 9 o’clock on a Saturday and I was on hold with the Cable Company. They didn’t understand what was at stake. I could not miss an episode or I might miss one of these Outlander inspired knitting projects. “I need Starz and I need it NOW!” I explained. “There’s a new episode of…
Feel Good about Being FashionABLE
I love scarves. I don’t know anyone who has more scarves than me. But this FashionABLE scarf that I just received from OneMoms is my favorite. It makes the world a better place. Handmade in Ethiopia, it came with a hand written note from the woman who crafted it. It will be worn with love…
The Best Madmen Dresses from Season 5
It’s my first Sunday night in a while without a MadMen episode to look forward to and that makes it a bit of a dark day. Last week I had the (dream come true!) chance to attend the live screening of the season finale with many of the cast and crew members. A special bonus…
Macy’s Brasil Premieres at South Coast Plaza
I love it when retailers go out on a limb and make a statement. The Brasil collection at Macy’s arrived with fanfare, Samba, and scantily clad women in full Carnivale regalia. That’s definitely making a statement! This spring, to one of the most talked about countries on earth, Brasil. From Sao Paulo to Rio, and…
Fashion Friday: The Way Of The Wedge
{I’ve had two boxes from Zappos show up this week. I have shoes on the brain. Love all these wedges recommended by Momspark!} For the longest time, I was nervous to even attempt walking in high heels. I’m not in the least bit coordinated, so I assumed I’d spend more time falling than actually strutting…
Fashion Friday | Building a Shoe Wardrobe
{I love this post from Jo-Lynne Shane. I’ve been doing some hard core closet editing and shoe shopping to fill some gaps. I may have to photo my own top ten too!} Jenn left this comment a few weeks ago, and I thought it would make a fun post. What I’d really like help with…
{Review} Kid Fashion Blast from The Past: Palladium Shoes
Back in the 90s I stormed my way through Europe. On and off trains, in and out of clubs, up and down mountains. My shoe of choice? Palladium. I wasn’t a combat boot kind of girl. Too goth. But I had that artistic urban edge thing. Surplus army gear and anything I could personalize appealed…
