Ed Note: After a conversation with my sister today, I wanted to revisit this post. And clarify that it is an on-going challenge. But one that makes me happier each and every day I practice just being honest. Earlier this year, I was talking to my parents about my New Year’s Resolution…ummm, list. The second [...]

WANT Les Essentiels de la Vie Woven Totes

jennifer — Wed, 24 Apr 2013 14:42:02 +0000

I am a grown woman, but when I shop I still hear my parents voices – “Do you like it? Will you wear it? Does it fit?” Which equates to me now as “Is it cool? Is it practical? Is it functional?” So, I was surprised last week when I saw a new tote from [...]

Nothing says spring like a new pair of crisp white kicks! I wear my favorite white canvas sneakers with everything! I take my white sneakers very seriously. I have been known to style my favorite white canvas sneakers with a cocktail dress and a ponytail to brunch…and it looks awesome, if I say so myself. [...]

Mad Men Season Six Style

I was dreading the Mad Men Season Six premier last weekend. Based on press releases, I knew that Season Six would jump forward a few years to the late 1960′s. When it comes to story building, the late 60′s are ripe – the Vietnam war, Woodstock, the sunset on the Summer of Love, the [...]

The Husband is responsible for bringing in the mail – which he promptly drops in a pile on the dining room table. Last night, as I was fighting back the urge to nag him about leaving the mail on the table, I flipped through the pile and noticed a really beautiful magazine at the [...]

While researching the annual Met Costume Institute 2013 exhibit, Punk: Chaos to Couture, I stumbled on to a current exhibit, Impressionism Fashion and Modernity. Wait. What? Is this the same exhibit that was shown at the Paris Musée d’Orsay in Fall of 2012? It is! I am not an art or costume historian. That said, [...]

Woke up this morning and realized I have worn my winter coat everyday for the last five months…and while I don’t control the weather, I am totally bored with my winter uniform! So, I decided to pretend I was headed to the beach and make a little list of what I would need to pack! [...]

well, the (insert appliance) is not working…now what?

jennifer — Mon, 21 Nov 2011 15:45:40 +0000

This Quick and Easy Home Repair Guide was inspired by my Pop. He can fix anything. In fact, he ran a repair shop and had a sign in front that said “We Fix Anything.” That’s how I was raised. In fact, I do not recall seeing a single repairman at our house. Ever. After thirteen [...]
