Lightweight Guerrilla Guide to Fast Money Keeping & Making

March 8, 2019

Two events in the past week have brought the unpopular and impolite (?) topic of money to the forefront for me…actually, the lack of money, and the absolutely cringe-worthy fear and oppression it brings with it. And it’s just…weighing heavy on me right now so I thought I would share some of my

Double Denim + Life

March 7, 2019

So, I’m writing this morning from home. On a workday. Because my car battery is dead. I’ve known for some time that it was on its last legs but I was waiting for my tax refund to come in to get a new one. It was very cold overnight and is still well

Finding Just the Right Slogan Tee

March 5, 2019

Who doesn’t love a good slogan tee? There’s a saying for everyone – from wine drinkers, dog lovers, parents, athletes, yoga instructors…you name it, there’s a slogan for it. And it’s on a tee shirt. And there are endless ways to style slogan tees. While casual in nature, they’re fun to mix

Week in Review: Week 156

March 4, 2019

Hey, friends. Is there too much “reviewing” going on? At the beginning/end of the month I always feel like there’s a lot, cuz Week in Review comes right on the tails of Month in Review…or vice versa. Let me know if it’s too much and I’ll figure something else out. I just

Month in Review: February 2019

March 1, 2019

Whoosh, February. Am I right?? I feel like I JUST did January Month in review! So, we all know I moved on February 2 (Groundhog’s Day, which is perfect, cuz it feels like I keep moving over and over and over again), and I’ve spent the past few weeks getting settled in.

Baby Steps: Match Made in Seven: February

February 27, 2019

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

Giving Old Things New Life

February 26, 2019

Do you have that one item hanging in your closet that you just never seem to reach for? There’s nothing wrong with it, it fills a gap in your wardrobe…and yet… That’s what this grey cardigan is for me. I’ve had it for about three years and it’s been a stop-gap until

Week in Review: Week 155

February 25, 2019

Well, THAT week was a doozy! Ha ha ha ha ha NOT. Many days I didn’t go out. And looked like this. Remember the To Do list?? Ha ha ha ha ha ha NOPE. Well, I did SOME stuff…I crossed out everything I actually did. APT * finish unpacking kitchen once spice

Settling In

February 19, 2019

So, I’ve been in the new place for two weeks (and a day). I’m still not fully unpacked but I have my necessities where I can reach them…and plans. I never like to rush into putting things away in a new space. I like to live in it a little bit, see

Week in Review: Week 154

February 18, 2019

A little calmer this week…I didn’t put anymore effort into unpacking cuz I was pooped and needed a break. But I’m continuing to enjoy the way the light spreads in the afternoon… I tried to look at a used sofa that was reasonably priced and not too far away but the seller

Old & New

February 14, 2019

What is the oldest item of clothing you have that you still wear? Mine is this blue top that my mother bought me from Macy*s in NINETEEN EIGHTY-FOUR. It’s 35 years old. Truth. And I still wear it. It only gets limited public viewings anymore, but just this morning I wore it

A Leopard Can’t Change Its Spots

February 12, 2019

But it CAN add stripes! I know you just saw the Sanctuary leopard cardigan (sold out in plus but still available in straight sizes and it runs large) in December with the denim shirt, but it’s Just So Good that I’ve been wearing it loads and pretty soon spring will…well, SPRING…and it will be put

Week in Review: Week 153

February 11, 2019

So, today is my one-week moving anniversary. I’ve barely unpacked – only the essentials, so my week has been spent in a “where is my ___” limbo. I’ve been eating Popeye’s fried chicken (I bought The Big Bucket the last week at the old place so I didn’t have to cook) and

Month in Review: January 2019

February 8, 2019

How many times in the past week have you heard someone say “wow, can you believe it’s February already??” So I won’t say it again 🙂 But WOW. January is usually my month to hibernate, to refuel and recharge, to get the house a little organized, to REST. To be alone. I

Seeing Spots

February 6, 2019

So, if you’ve been reading along, you know that this past Saturday was Moving Day for me. And while I THOUGHT I was well-prepared, on that last afternoon before moving day I did get a little panicked at the realization of all that was left to do before the movers arrived early

Week in Review: Week 152

February 4, 2019

Whatta week! Not a very entertaining one for you guys, but chock-full for me! I meant to add this pic to the punk post on Wednesday. I had these 80s earrings…but I just couldn’t do it. The girl and her boy went hiking in Phoenix. I’m so glad she’s living an adventure-filled

Week in Review: Week 151

January 28, 2019

If I say “No Words” can I get away with just posting pictures and allowing you to interpret for yourself what’s going on?? Ha. That might work if I had any interesting pictures to post. I’m just working/packing. Throw in the occasional crying meltdown and you’ve got Me This Week. I’m moving

Winter Cardigan Style Guide

January 25, 2019

Note: In the interest of time to due to my current packing and moving situation, I am re-sharing a post originally published in January 2017. The clothing may differ but the concepts remain the same. And the funny this is, I still have and wear most of the pieces shown below! And
