Insightful Documentary About Timeless Icons + 15 Must-See Fashion Documentaries

October 18, 2018 No Comments

This past weekend, I spent several hours watching some interesting fashion documentaries. With the release of McQueen, the documentary about the legendary fashion designer Alexander McQueen, I got to thinking about the other fashion documentaries I watched, like The September Issue, Dior and I, and Four Seasons With Dior. A few years ago, I flipped on the TV and began watching a documentary on “supermodels.” It didn’t feature Gisele Bundchen or Miranda Kerr or Cindy Crawford, but it featured such timeless icons as Cheryl Tiegs, Beverly Johnson, and Paulina Porizkova, and many other supermodels of their time. About Face: The Supermodels, Then […]

For the Book Lover in Me

October 15, 2018 No Comments

When my family lived in Levelland, Texas, I can remember spending my summers at my local library. I would walk from the newspaper where my mother worked, down to the library where I would casually stroll down the aisles of the shelves looking for books to read. I loved cracking open new or old books just to smell the ink on the pages. And here’s the funny thing — I still do that today when I go to my local library. Have you ever imagined what your dream home library would look like? Well, I have! I was perusing Pinterest one evening, and […]

How to Create a Self-Care Routine

October 14, 2018 No Comments

Lazy Sundays like today are when I like to treat myself to a “self-care Sunday”. Sundays are usually the days when I try not to have anything planned, that way I can lounge around with the dogs and watch movies, read magazines, or spend some time planning my week ahead. I also take the time to apply a conditioning hair mask while I treat my face to a moisturizing face mask, or I give myself a mani-pedi. “An empty lantern provides no light. Self-care is the fuel that allows your light to shine brightly.” – Unknown Self-care days are not […]
