Another day, another dollar… I find myself so caught up in the hustle sometimes – meetings, calls, emails, grooming… I love working, it makes me feel in control of things: I like control. I like to plan. I like to be ahead of the game. I have to remind myself to fall back and chill. One…

Happy Hour
I stopped downtown at the Marquee after work for happy hour sponsored by 100.3 The Beat. It was a lot of fun, with Mishelae as the host. I wouldn’t mind swinging by the Marquee next Thursday on the way home from work. The menu, drinks and music was on point. This combo is good for a…
Pink Sunday
Hours before Lilly For Target launched, I told myself I was going to stay in, place my order, and then hit the streets for a quickie turn up – FAIL! Midnight came, and then 2 am passed, and when the collection finally launched at 2:20 am CT, all the anxious online shoppers broke the internet. I just…
The McCarthy Factor
Melissa McCarthy is not typically known for looking fabulous or her fashion sense. Instead, we often see her on the silver screen looking androgynous as she makes us laugh, and we forget that she is acting. In real life, this woman slays fashion. Even though she publicly protests couture designers not catering her, she continues to wow us…
Birthday Suit
It’s my blogiversary today, and my birthday is exactly one week away. SO much has happened in the past year – I am in a totally different place. I started this blog just days before starting my current position at CrowdSource. I needed something to pour myself into, and I wanted to do something that made…
Spring Holiday
Easter is only one week away, so we’ve got some outfit planning to do. I will repurpose a dress that I already own, since my fave holiday look has not yet reached my doorstep via Gwynnie Bee. When I got this dress during a pop-up shop event during NYFW, the temperatures were dropping, so I wore…
Trish McEvoy: Power of Makeup Class Review
I was totally thrilled when my ARCONA rep, Kim, asked me to attend a Trish McEvoy workshop sponsored by Nordstrom. I practice professional makeup art, so I am always interested in perfecting my craft. The set-up was so cute, sectioned off on the far edge of the cosmetics area. It started at 6:30, so the…
70s Vibes
I am thrilled that 70s-inspired fashion is back because these trends are right up my alley. This here is a low-budget look, and I am less than pleased with some of the pieces here, mostly because of the fit. Junior plus size clothing is so unpredictable. I’ve ordered from these retailers before, but I suppose they…
Hipster Nights
Spring is almost here! And, this dress is totally awesome for transitional weather, like we’re experiencing here in STL, because it can be layered. I added a jacket, fedora and a stole for warmth and style and a little 70s flair. Gawd, I love transitional weather – it just marries all the best of fashion. I…
