Look for Less: DIY World Map Art

One of the hardest things for me with interior design is finding the right art for the room. When done properly, it adds the perfect finishing touch and brings the whole look of the room together. But sometimes it can be overwhelming to find a subject, size, technique, and frame you like. Also, when you finally find the thing you really love and you think your search is over, the price tag can make you feel queasy. I am going to show you one of my favorite DIY projects I have done to date and ... VIEW THIS POST

Ski Trip Essentials

Next month, I am going to be hitting the slopes for the first time since I was a little girl! So basically, it's the first time all over again!

When I hear "sweater dress," I think of an oversized, chunky cable knit that it usually paired with sheer tights and boots.

Winter Wishlist – Outerwear

If you've been reading my blog for a while now, you know I have an unhealthy obsession with coats and jackets.

In fall, I usually stick to very dark, vampy colors, mostly because I am craving that after a long summer. As winter approaches, I am ready to change things up and ease back into lighter colors and ... VIEW THIS POST

Top 8 Favorite Beauty Products

I've always wanted to do a post on my favorite beauty products of all time but it's taken me a little while because it was so hard to narrow down! I was originally planning on doing my Top 5 but that was downright impossible. So in honor of my former MySpace persona (can't believe I just used those words), I decided a Top 8 would be perfect! When I was trying to whittle down my collection, I wanted to focus on products that I've been testing for a while and that completely made me stop using ... VIEW THIS POST
