Wanna Be Fashionista in the Making

At the beginning of last year, one of my first posts was about my being a “wanna be fashionista”, which I still am! (You can read about it here, and I wrote it almost one year ago to the day!) Now I can be a “wanna be fashionista in the making” because I got a sewing machine for Christmas from my husband and my parents! I AM SO EXCITED! Ok… I haven’t actually taken it out of the box yet, but this weekend I have some major plans for that sewing machine… I wanna make a dress! I wanna hem up […]

My Week in Pins – Capricorns

Happy Birthday, my fellow Capricorns! In honor of all Capricorns, and since my birthday (I’ll be the big 4-0) is tomorrow, I thought I would dedicate this week in pins to those of us celebrating birthdays under this sign! All pins come from Pinterest (of course), but most interestingly, is that when I went to click on the source, all of these pins came from Tumblr blogs… so Thank You to the following blogs: Zodiac City, Zodiac Chic, The Zodiac Zone, and Enchanted by the Universe. This first pin is very characteristic of me… and my husband would say that the last […]

I have been wanting a pair of brown boots and these are gorgeous! I also like the grey cowl-neck sweater! […]

Will You Make Any New Year’s Resolutions?

So I’ve eaten my black-eyes peas and I’m now at my desk after scanning Pinterest like a mad-woman. I think I’m coming down with a cold because my throat is a little sore, I’m sneezing, and I’m alternating between the chills and the sweats. But I can’t let a little sniffle or sneeze hinder me from trying to figure out (1) if I’m going to write down some “New Year’s Resolutions”, and (2) if I do put together some resolutions, what are they going to be. So until I decide whether or not I’m going to write down any resolutions […]

2012 in Review

This weekend I took the time to check out my own blog, and I browsed my stats. I was simply blown away by my “annual report”. First, I’d like to say “THANK YOU” – (1) to everyone who reads my blog (via Facebook, LinkedIn, etc.), (2) to those who decided they like my blog enough to follow, (3) to those who take the time to comment on my posts, and (4) to those who repost my blog onto their blog. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! And I would like to share my annual report with you, since you – […]
