It’s FINALLY here! As I have mentioned, I was invited to partake in the Saint Louis Fashion Week Blogger Getaway Weekend and have been counting down the days until the big event. Tonight was the first official get together: the BLUEBIRD X CLR-MNSTR STLFW VIP Blogger Party on Washington Avenue in downtown St. Louis. Things … Continue reading

Sleepy shopping for STLFW, part one
I might have mentioned before that anymore, I am exhausted after work. Exhausted in the sense that I have no idea how long I wandered the mall after work or how much I spent on this slice of cookie pie I am currently devouring… nor do I care, as I left the mall with two … Continue reading
Dressing in Technicolor
Maybe it’s the slowly warming weather, or perhaps it’s a side effect of my new-found obsession with mixing prints, but I’m feeling inspired to wear colors. Granted, yes, these are colors toned down with major neutrals, but for a gal who has to physically force herself to not buy every item in gray (but let’s be honest, … Continue reading
Pattern Craze
With the snow melting and my day full of dull chores like folding the laundry and grocery shopping, I felt inspired to brighten myself up with an outfit that screams for silliness. While it’s become more and more acceptable– even standard– to mix patterns in the fashion world, I rarely see it done in real life. Because … Continue reading
New Bag Buzz
The investment bag. Just the phrase makes my eyes open wider.

When I stared Oh, Julia Ann, my goal was to make myself … Continue reading
Because holiday wishlists are a time-passer and mood-booster…
Each December as a child I would sit down with the Toys “R” Us and Target catalogs and create my extensive wishlist. Always including much more than I anticipated receiving, and often items I knew would never happen (read: $$$), the wishlists were over-the-top, exaggerated and a bit of a guilty pleasure. I remember two … Continue reading
Shopping updates — Boots & purses
To conclude previous shopping posts, I have finally purchased this year’s boots and a black clutch. Success! Steve Madden Women’s Cindi Boot from DSW: The boots were actually a gift from my mother, purchased last week. I exchanged them today for a pair one half size bigger, to allow room for my beloved thick socks. … Continue reading
Teeny purses, teeny budget
Lance and I have a handful of semi-formal events throughout the next few months (a wedding, my graduation, [kind of] our Halloween costumes… you get it) and, being a discount fiend, I am trying to prepare in advance to avoid the dreaded full-price items. I’ve already gotten two of the dresses, one party for $3.99 … Continue reading
