I have always loved to watch Barbara Walter’s special, “The 10 Most Fascinating People”, eager to see who she and her team have deemed to be “fascinating” that year. Her final special aired on Wednesday, December 18th, and she recapped every fascinating person she interviewed for this yearly special. So in keeping with the long tradition once held by the woman I admire (and wanted to be like), here is my list of fascinating people of 2013. Pope Francis – since his ascension to the highest post in the Catholic Church, Pope Francis has literally touched e loves of hundreds […]
If I Could Be Friends With Anyone…
I was always a bit of a nerd in school. I was never part of the “cool” crowd and I didn’t get invited to parties. I think the first party I got invited to that I actually attended was on prom night my Senior year in high school. Even in college, you could easily identify the “cool” kids and point out each clique. Me? I was on the newspaper staff for one year, and I was President of Sigma Tau Delta, the National English Honor Society. My senior year in college, I all but vanished from college life. I only […]
My Kind of Style
I don’t have Victoria Beckham’s budget for fashion, but like her, I find it’s better to be stylish than to be fashionable. Fashion trends change all the time, but style – true style – never changes!

These photos are from Pinterest, but the original source is listed under each photo, but I’d like to say Thank You to Polyvore, Fashion Worship, and The High Heeled Hostess for sharing such awesome and stylish fashion finds! I have been wanting a pair of brown boots and these are gorgeous! I also like the grey cowl-neck sweater! […]

What I Took From “Glamour’s” Fashion Issue
I’ve written on several occasions about how I take my time reading magazines. First I flip through it page-by-page, just looking at the photographs. Then I go back and literally (and I do mean literally) read it from cover-to-cover. Almost two weeks ago, I got four magazines in the mail and so far, I’ve read only two of them cover-to-cover: People StyleWatch and Glamour. So today I’m going to tell you a little about “what I took from Glamour magazine’s fall fashion issue.” First of all, there were three cover photos of the stunningly beautiful (but not smiling) Victoria Beckham. Here’s my […]
