It’s that time of year for Christmas music and movies, holiday cheer, food galore, and of course, ugly holiday sweaters. In fact, some holiday parties you attend this month will require you to get decked out in fancy party dresses. Other parties will have you decked out in the most ridiculous and ugly Christmas sweaters. My office Christmas party is this coming Friday and we are having an “ugly sweater” contest. So now I have to come up with ugly sweaters {or sweatshirts or sweater vests} for both me and my husband. Then I have to convince my husband to […]
Fabulous and Over 40
Now that I’m in my 40s, I tend to find myself drawn to actresses over 40. They have a maturity, yet a young and playful side to them, that I find appealing and down-to-earth. Wendi McClendon-Covey. Melissa McCarthy. Octavia Spencer. Amy Poehler. Debra Messing. These beautiful women are some of the most incredibly talented and funny women in movies and television today… and they are all fabulous and over 40! They have starred (separately, and sometimes together) in some of my favorite movies and TV shows. Wendi and Melissa co-starred in the all-female hit Bridesmaids, but I love Wendi as the sexpot […]

Mad for Plaid
Whenever I see plaid, I think of Gerard Butler in a tartan kilt, kind of liked he one he wore at the UK premiere of Law Abiding Citizen. Super sexy! This look definitely makes me “mad for plaid.” Photo Source : Smosh But seriously, I love the colorful look of plaid, whether it be the classic blue and green plaid or black and red plaid, or even the iconic Burberry plaid. Here are some of my favorite plaid looks that are so popular right now. PLAID SCARVES I recently got a ModCloth plaid blanket scarf in my Fall FabFitFun box and […]
Tablescape Ideas for Thanksgiving
I love Thanksgiving. The turkey and dressing. The sweet potato casserole. The green beans and buttery soft rolls. The pumpkin and pecan pies. It’s such a delicious holiday! Even though I won’t be home this year to celebrate the holiday with my family, it doesn’t mean that I don’t love this holiday. Not only do I love the food, but I love the beautiful tablescapes. The table decorations are almost just as important as the food. Setting the scene not only brings people together, but can be a great conversation starter. I love simple tablescapes that don’t interfere with the […]
