I am a hustler. Like the aptly named Ginger in Casino, I want my end. So when the Christmas season takes a full 21 days off my beloved Autumn, I look out for me. No it isn’t really Fall yet, but I snagged 16 days from Summer. Post-Labor day is Betsy Autumn. I am sipping [...]

I see peace signs in your future! Do you want to know how I make style predictions? Bad luck and frustration. Every year since I was about 15, I have wanted an item and then found it impossible to find. The next year, when my interest has somewhat faded, it would be everywhere. I went [...]

It really does feel like we’ve been through some sort of battle and now it’s a weird white post-snowpacalytpo world out there. Of course the real question is, “But what will I wear?!” Before I get to that, it has been announced that tomorrow is ANOTHER office jeans day. With the assumption they are doing [...]

I look sort of tired and constipated in the first photo. I also didn’t do my hair or makeup. Ah well. That’s what a blizzard does to a person. So, here is what I wore for Blizzaster 2011: I used a vintage feature while photo editing because it reminds me of my parents’ pics of [...]

Shoes are included, but accessories and jewelry are not. 2. Remix the 30 items into 30 different outfits. That’s it! Well not entirely so.. 3. Don’t shop for 30 days. [...]
