Get all of your family and friends together and get ready to celebrate the Fourth of July in style. First of all, if you’re throwing a July 4th picnic, you’ll want to start NOW buying decorations.

Hong Kong is a stunning city. The bustling, colorful city streets… the history and the architecture… the lively food scene… the city as a whole would be an exciting addition to everyone’s bucket list.

The cemeteries (pictured above, bottom left corner) are unique and would be a must-see for me. The Hong Kong skyline is beautiful, but I’ve read that it is even more stunning […]

She, of course, was my first fashion guru.” – Victoria Beckham, That Extra Half an Inch: Hair, Heels and Everything in Between (I am still fascinated with Victoria Beckham, so I thought I’d share this blog post again. I originally wrote it on July 9, 2012. Enjoy!!) My fascination with Victoria Beckham began in 2007 when I watched her one-hour TV special, Victoria Beckham: Coming to America. It was part factual and part documentary spoof, but I thought […]

Links I Love

Since I revamped my blog earlier this month, I have been looking at starting a new weekly or monthly series (or two). I have found myself drawn to other bloggers posts about “links they love”, so today, starts the first in a series. My plan for this series – “Links I Love” – is that it will become a monthly series. I hope you find these links as great and interesting as I did! Ever wonder about the bedrooms of those TV characters like Carrie Bradshaw and Serena van der Woodsen? Glamour magazine shares some cools details about these rooms. Daily Dose of Design shares […]
