Fashion Friday: My Favorite Scarf

February 11, 2011

I am not a fashionista, to say the least. I work from home, so I get to wear whatever casual clothing I want while I sit around proofreading and editing. My office is casual, too, so even on the days when I have to travel into the Corporate Land of Cubicles, I can dress in [...]

Adult Acne. Seriously?

February 10, 2011

I was really lucky in high school. My braces came off in eighth grade and I had great skin that I did nothing for. Washing my face before bed was a foreign concept and yet every day it glowed, clear and smooth. Then I went off to college where I continued to mistreat it—smoky bars, [...]

Fashion Friday: A Cardigan Really is a Girl’s Best Friend.

February 4, 2011

Up until about two years ago, I didn’t own a single cardigan. Actually, that not entirely true. I had one. My mother bought it for me and tried to convince me that cardigans should be my best friends and I will likely wear this wardrobe staple more than anything else in my closet. I didn’t. [...]

Fashion Friday: Holly

January 28, 2011

Have you ever flipped through a Sephora or Ulta catalog and thought, “Wow, I would love to have bold eye shadow like that.” Except without the Swarovski encrusted fake eyelashes or the eye liner that goes down the side of your face in some sort of weird vine-like extension. So you buy a few beautiful [...]

The Good, the Bad and the Painful on Hair Removal

January 26, 2011

Okay my friends, let’s talk hair removal options shall we? I am well aware of the fact that all of our lady grooming is just The Man trying to bring us down, or whatever, but be that as it may, I like to be tidy, and there are an array of choices to get me [...]

My Seven Best Drugstore Beauty Finds

January 21, 2011

If I’m being completely honest with you, I am NOT a beauty expert of any kind. My mother wears absolutely no makeup at all. Her beauty regimen consists of dousing herself and her entire bathroom with Estee Lauder powder. She doesn’t wear eye makeup or lipstick or anything. Interestingly, though, it suits her. And my [...]

Fashion Friday: Jen

January 14, 2011

Shopping for pants used to be my biggest nightmare. I have really long legs, so the average inseam just doesn’t cut it.  And often times, when I finally do find pants that don’t leave me looking like I am waiting for a flood, after one wash?  Boom, too short. It makes shopping extremely frustrating! These [...]

The Four Best Online Shopping Stores for Plus-Sized Clothing

January 13, 2011

I’ll be honest. Shopping for clothes over a size 16 is hard and a little embarrassing. We can’t find our clothes in the “regular” section of Target, and you definitely won’t find us shopping in stores like Aeropostale or Anthropologie. There must be something that happens to clothes at size 16 that cuts women of [...]

Six Fashion Rules, from Me to You

January 4, 2011

When I get dressed, and by dressed I don’t just mean throwing clothes on to answer the front door, but DRESSED, like for an OCCASION, the main objective, for me personally, is that I appear as attractive as possible to the general public. I’m not super good with top trends, I don’t really care about [...]

Fashion Friday on Monday: Mishelle

December 27, 2010

When you know what works for you, you work it, right?  Right! I know what works for me, and that’s my legs.   They are long, muscular, and nicely shaped.   And, that’s why I was so jazzed when leggins came back in style.  Lately they are the center of the outfits I put together. I have [...]
