1. Quiet the noise – I’m hoping to turn the online volume way down this year. Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram, Facebook, Google Reader…it’s just way too easy to get caught up in what everyone else is doing and wearing and eating and making. (Not that I think those things aren’t worthy….it’s just that I spend way [...]
1. I want to dress like those illustrations. image via Paper Fashion 2. The first thing I read this morning was this. Um, kind of a bummer, right? I need to get my hands on the actual study, but runners, what do you think? 3. The house is almost finished – we ended up postponing [...]
1. How cute is the above graphic by Style United? I loved that they used my handwriting, even if it’s wayyyyyy less cool than my husband’s. 2. Right on the tail of my bootie obsession (seriously, WHEN ARE THE MADEWELL BOOTS GOING TO GET HERE?) is my hat obsession. Here are 10 of my favorites. [...]
1. I miss the Olympics. It’s ridiculous, actually, because my experience with the Olympics had to be the worst in the world…being on the West Coast with the tape delay, it was like the entire entirety of the universe knew what happened before I did. Couple that with getting behind on our DVR (because who [...]
Here’s the thing – I’ve spent years trying to perfect my running playlist. For me, music is everything while I’m running. Without it, I would not be able to run more than 3 blocks, and it’s insane how a particular song can take me from out of breath and miserable to completely focused and intense [...]
1. Operation Peony Lim is in full effect over here. My hair is approaching chest level, and I keep looking at photos of her for inspiration. photo credit: Citizen Couture 2. Speaking of hair, have you checked out Hair Thursday lately? Go ahead, take a look. TADA! Hair Thursday is no longer its own website [...]
This week’s Odds and Ends post is focusing less on tips and tricks and more on “things that make you go hmmm.” 1. “You have got to be yourself. That’s all there is to it.” Rachel soooo hit the nail on the head with this post. 2. You’ve got to be yourself, which leads directly [...]
1. I just finished up my Pantene commercial behind the scenes series at Hair Thursday, and I’m pretty sure I didn’t leave out a single detail. Part one here. Part two here. Part three here. Part four here. Phew! 2. I’m drooling over my new Joy the Baker cookbook. What do I make first? Banana [...]
1. BOOT SHAPERS. You guys, why did it take me 37 years to buy boot shapers? I formally bid adieu to the days of stuffing random cardboard or rolled-up socks or umbrellas in my boots in hopes that they stand up. 2. Spring has sprung, and it’s time to clean out my closet again. Just [...]
1. Everything about the woman in the above photo is perfection to me. Absolute perfection. 2. I completely forgot to announce the winner of the Jewelmint giveaway from a few weeks ago. Sorry, guys! The winner of the JewelMint jewelry is #41, Abi! Congratulations, Abi. I’ll be contacting you shortly. 3. Speaking of giveaways, don’t [...]
1. All blog posts should be formatted in list form, right? So easy to read, and you can skip right on if you please. 2. Wito is obsessed with Angry Birds. In fact, this photo was taken at a toy store selling Angry Birds collectible plush doll things. As if the game itself wasn’t enough, [...]
1. I’m leaving for New York tomorrow morning. I’ll actually BE in New York for 36 hours. Way too short, if you ask me. 2. I’m filming some spring fashion and beauty segments, and I need to dress appropriately. 3. I’m probably going to buy something today. At J. Crew. Because I CAN’T CONTROL MYSELF. [...]
1. I spent most of yesterday being filmed for a documentary featuring stylish moms. (What the WHAT? How super cool/exciting/insane is that?? I can’t wait to see!) I just had to share this photo because I can’t stop laughing. First off, Wito is the little speck in the distance, about to be taken out to [...]
Is it over yet? We’re in the home stretch, right? It’s only been 11 days, you say? Oh. The good news is that I haven’t screwed up yet. [cue fanfare] Here are some things that are helping me resist the urge to spend. 1. I’ve unsubscribed from virtually every retailer email/newsletter list. This helps tremendously. [...]
1. Today is the last day to enter my $150 Old Navy giveaway at What in the Whoorld. Be sure to enter here! 2. I also have a poll up at Babble. Do (or would) you give your children blogging nicknames? Do you think it’s safe or silly? 3. I’m doing a series of posts [...]
