Room Lust – Office

by Leave a Comment

Mind you, my office is in a nook… So I need high impact and lots of organization in a small space.  Currently, the nook is in a state of flux and in desperate need of being redesigned. I have what I need at this point (a million zebra print pens, my 27" iMac, a vintage chalkboard, and always always always a crystal vase with pink roses from the local Farmer's Market)...

While I was utterly unable to focus on the thrilling subject matter of overwhelming debt, visions of sugar plums began to dance in my head... Thanksgiving and Christmas are just around the corner (cue Mariah Carey's "All I Want for ... Read the Post

Must Haves for the Perfect Fall Face, You Little Autumn Siren

by Leave a Comment

Fall is the perfect time for a soft glow... Don't forgo the bronzer, you saucy minx... Just sweep it on lightly over your cheeks, nose, chin, and forehead.  Make your face pop by brushing a shimmery autumnal coral on the apples of your cheeks.  A smoky eye that incorporates browns, golds, and olive instead of the predictable black is an unexpected sultry look. Don't forget to wing out the tips of ... Read the Post
