Oh gosh! Every Year something is happening and I barely notice the passing of my blogiversary. Maybe it was a mistake to do my first blog post in the middle of February right around Presidents Week! My first anniversary I was stranded in Maine snow on a work trip, the second I

Welcome to the monthly edition of Match Made in Seven! We are an international group of fashion bloggers who meet virtually once a month. One of us chooses a theme each month, and that can be anything: a book, music, a color, a movie. And then we all style an outfit based

Since last Monday’s Week in Review was slightly pre-empted by California in Review, I’m including about a week and a half in here… Friday, Feb 14 Got home late from the airport last night and let myself sleep in. Had a really bad dream about Mr. & Mrs. Landlord who were watching

It’s a short week due to Presidents Day on Monday…and it’s a casual week cuz the school is closed and most people are on vacation this week. There’s just a handful of administrative staff in this week. So I might just wear the same thing every day 🙂 TUESDAY I actually have worn

I thought I might start this as a new monthly series. Not sure if I’ll do All The Things…or just clothes. But I figured I’d start with both, especially thinking that my clothing shopping is winding down this time of year. Let me know what you think! Is it a help…or boring?

In marketing, they say it can take a consumer seven times seeing a product before they feel comfortable enough about it that they might buy it for themselves, or even just consider it. I know there have been style trends over the years that when I first saw them I was like

This California trip recap preempts the weekly week in review post, as most of the week was in California. Plus, some packing and travel tips along the way. Speaking of packing, this was my first experience ever of having my suitcase weigh more than the 50-pound limit and I had to be

This is an extra added bonus version of Workday Wardrobe for this week only… Saturday Day One. We drove up to Los Angeles from San Diego to have dinner with more family…and spent the afternoon having lunch and browsing Melrose Ave, going into shops and people-watching. Maeve top from Anthropologie, size 26.

Welcome to the monthly edition of Where Bloggers Live. It’s kind of like HGTV’s “Celebrities at Home,” but…Bloggers! Who doesn’t like to peek behind the scenes and see inside people’s homes? Over the next few months, a group of seven bloggers will be sharing their workspaces, their homes, towns and more! Make

This week was mostly trip and tax prep. Checking things off to-do lists. Staying up late and getting up late. Blah blah blah. All work and no play makes Bettye a very dull girl. AND THEN…. I was in California with my people! I got to San Diego late, late Friday night.

Monday In response to someone asking how I was able to make time for all the stuff I do, I give you…My Monday Schedule (scintillating content right here, folks). 6-6:54am Hit snooze on alarm repeatedly 6:55-7:30 Rushed into shower/dressed/looked at cat/dried hair fast&crappily/left for work 7:45 Stopped for gas cuz gas light

Wasn’t it just Christmas?? And now tomorrow is February. January passed in the blink of an eye. It’s all passing in the blink of an eye! I tried to squeeze a little more out of January than I’m usually able. For some reason, January/February always seem to bring Big Changes to my

This was a very (over?) thinky week. Work stuff, blog stuff, personal stuff. I didn’t do much outside the usual but it felt like a lot was going on. In my head, at least. On January 1 I started doing this (weird? obsessive-compulsive? amazingly organized?) thing where I write about every day

There was no work Monday for Martin Luther King Day…and Tuesday I was so excited that I didn’t have to hurry home to take an outfit picture for #jan20x20 that I completely forgot I still need a picture for Workday Wardrobe! So I’m starting with Wednesday. WEDNESDAY I’m FREE! I’m FREE! No

Usually in January I take it a little easy and think about what I want from the year ahead. But I’m finding it hard right now to just think and not do. I want to do all the things! Take all the pictures, write about all the bloggy things, be more creative
