I cannot believe it’s been so long since I posted to the blog. I knew adjusting to a completely new life would take a good chunk of my attention, but I guess I didn’t realize how few and far between the moments of downtime would be. Or the fact that when I do have downtime, […]
If you haven’t read Sheryl Sandberg’s Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead yet, get to it ASAP. I can’t believe it took me so long to get to it myself – but I’m so glad I finally did. While Sandberg is currently known as COO of Facebook, that may be the least of her accomplishments, […]
Florals? For spring? Groundbreaking. While the combo of florals and springtime may not be anything new, why fix what isn’t broken? The two go together like peanut butter and jelly. Cookies and milk.

It has been almost two weeks since I last posted to the blog, which makes me so sad! But, my temporary disappearance from the blogosphere has been for an exciting reason. If you haven’t heard yet, I’m moving to Connecticut! I’ve accepted a position as Junior Copywriter for vineyard vines in Stamford. Needless to say, […]

Statement-making clothes, bold makeup, perfectly coiffed hair…and that’s just one aspect. The over-the-top parties and clandestine activities are sure to make any modern […]
Introducing my latest obsession: rose gold hair. By now, we’re used to seeing colorful locks, from pastels to more vibrant hues. Celebrities like Nicole Richie, Kylie Jenner, Katy Perry, Hilary Duff and more have taken the plunge into vats of funky-colored hair dye. But the latest trend is a little easier for us normal folk […]
If you clicked on this post expecting to find a slimmed down, guilt-free treat as usual, you’re going to be disappointed. Sorry to tempt you, but these cupcakes aren’t “skinny.” They are delicious, though. Last week it was my friend Melissa’s 24th birthday. I was heading into Boston to celebrate with her. Her roommate was […]
If you follow me on Instagram (if not, why don’t you?!) then you probably saw my post about “Blind Date with a Book” a while back. If you haven’t heard about it yet, Blind Date with a Book is a new phenomenon in which you purchase a book that is covered with brown paper. There […]
