The Top Ten (May Edition)
Ten things I am loving this May...1. The gorgeous color and heady scent of lilacs in bloom.2) Nars Super Orgasm Illuminator. I have never been a big make-up girl, but when I tried this and saw the nice (ahem) glow it gave me, I was sold. 3) My Garmin Forerunner 310XT. Attractive it is not, … Continue reading The Top Ten (May Edition)

Nautical Chic
I have great affection for the open water. Its influences can be seen in both my home and closet, where the colors of ocean, lake, sand and dune dominate. The outfits above were inspired by my recent trip to the sea, but adjusted for our current cooler climate. I love the idea of mixing and … Continue reading Nautical Chic
Queen of Hearts
