To quote Macklemore's 'Thrift Shop', "let's do some simple addition" that it doesn't take a genius to figure out this edition of what I wore Wednesday is all about simplifying. It was pouring out. It's March. Every March I suddenly just get so sick of EVERYTHING that is in my closet. My clothes feel itchy on me. They are too hot, not warm enough, just plain boring and awful and I end up wearing something like this- … [Read more...]
Oprah has hers and I have mine. My won't massacre your budget like O's and many of the items can be found easily online and in your local stores. Time after time they have proved their worth, a lot like the ones listed here at Refinery29. I'm so curious about that foundation and Benefit Erase Paste now. … [Read more...]
I went to a baby shower this weekend for an old college friend and decided to pair an A-line cobalt blue dress from ASOS with a cashmere Land's End sweater and Target booties. Similar to what is tucked under the sweater below- … [Read more...]

So tired I forgot to take off my lashes! This week has been a blur. There was the snoringly awful Oscars that I stayed up entirely too late for and a late night with a friend and a few missed workouts because I was too tired to move. By Thursday I was useless and feeling queasy. This seems to be a pattern I'm developing where I go and go and then despite my best efforts I crash. I'm going for a physical next Monday and hopefully we can figure out what I can do with all this extra estrogen that is making me weepy, acne-prone and generally a malcontent 15 year-old who feels like crying one minute and blowing up the world the next. I do have a new talent though. I can now heat the house with my brand new set of hot flashes. Aren't those fabulous?! Mmmhmmm... … [Read more...]
Almost a year ago it took a six year-old having overhearing a conversation between H & I about how when I ate foods with gluten my ovarian cysts were worse. The month I ate gluten-free was a whole other fabulous feeling story. TD looked at me and said, "So why don't you just not eat gluten..." Uh, right, kid. Thanks. … [Read more...]
It is the night of your seventh birthday. The house is quiet. You and your sisters lay exhausted and asleep in your beds. The last 24 hours a whirlwind of birthday streamers, balloons, sugar-frosted cakey dreams punctuated with laughter, fun friends and good wishes from family. The only noise I hear right now is that of the Oscars droning on in the background. I sit surrounded by a tiny golden light lost in the thoughts of the day as glittering stars smile their toothy grins. … [Read more...]
I haven’t been around here much lately. I’ve been too busy living life. Good or bad and it has felt like there is less good and more of the painful and bad but I am making sure that the t’s and I’s are being crossed with my family and those I hold dear. I’m continuing to learn what is important as we are never too old or young to learn this lesson. I am seeing what the real blessings are in my life. And I am trying to live life in the present and not always jumping forward to figure out what I should be doing next. … [Read more...]
I haven't been around much in the last week or so, more on that later, but I did chronicle via Polyvore what I wore last week. I tried to wear red each day leading up to it. There was a day with red pants but I cannot remember what top I wore so let the Polyvore version of What I Wore Wednesday begin! … [Read more...]
Time for What I Wore Wednesday. I've been busy taking photos of different looks involving red for Valentine's Day but this look is from Saturday night when I met up with a bunch of friends to eat, laugh, talk and remember Susan. Be sure to scroll to the bottom where I have a great deal on jeans for you especially for Valentine's Day! … [Read more...]
