I guess Brad Pitt is going to start calling me again, now that he and Angelina Jolie are divorcing! I’m just kidding… But seriously, I was a little shocked at the news that they were divorcing, but not that shocked. The way I see it, their personal relationship probably mirrored, to some extent, that of their characters in Mr. & Mrs. Smith or By The Sea. Regardless of the state of their marriage, they had some really great moments. Instead of tearing this couple apart, why not celebrate their unity and the magical moments that made us believe in them […]
Women of Style: Emmys Edition
The Emmys were held on Sunday night and for me, it was all about the FASHION! Yeah, some people won awards and other people presented the awards, but for me it was all about the FASHION, FASHION, FASHION!!! Of course, there were some fashion fails, but I’m not going to focus on those. This week I decided that instead of focusing on one “woman of style”, I’m going to focus on several “women of style” by featuring the looks I loved from the Emmys. I love the black and reds, as worn by Joanne Froggatt (Downton Abbey), Kate McKinnon (Saturday […]
My Go-To Beauty Products
I have only been wearing makeup for about eight years, and it has been a bit of trial and error to figure out what works with my skin.

It has […]
Getting Ready for the 68th Emmy Awards
It’s that time of year again! It’s Award Season! The Red Carpet is being rolled out right now for the 68th Emmy Awards! I’m so excited about Award season and being introduced to new shows and new actors or actresses, but I’m more excited about the fashion moments on the Red Carpet! Is anyone else as excited as I am to see the fashion? For me, the Emmy’s not only spotlight shows and actors/actresses, but showcases some amazing fashion designers. I think I love watching the fashion moments during award seasons more than the actual show itself. Last year, I wrote […]
Be Yourself & Find the Beauty Within
Coco Chanel knew a thing or two about beauty. During her life, she designed some of the most beautiful clothing. But the thing I really love about Coco Chanel is her wonderful words of wisdom, such as the gem below. I challenge you to look for the beauty within by deciding to be yourself. Every woman wants to have a style all her own, and Coco Chanel was no different. WhoWhatWear details the “qualities of an ideal wardrobe according to Coco Chanel”, which includes polish and simplicity. As writer Allison Payor wrote in her article for WWW, Coco Chanel had […]
