What the heck is hygge? When this word first popped up on my radar, I didn’t know (1) how to pronounce it, (2) what it was, (3) how people use it, or (4) why I should fill my life with it. But I do know this – I had to find out as much as I could about hygge and why I needed it in my life. The first thing I discovered about this word is that it is Danish, and it is pronounced “HOO-ga”. Hygge is not actually a “thing”, but it’s a feeling of contentment or well-being. It is a Danish […]

Fall has ushered in some great fashion trends, including bringing back beautiful jewel tones like burgundy.

When Fashion Meets Finance
*This is a sponsored guest post. Carrie Bradshaw is the iconic, fictional journalist from the hit HBO show and subsequent movie franchise, Sex and the City.

Every week Bradshaw became the envy of almost every middle-class woman across the country. She helped women from coast to coast find the courage to take a critical look at their closets and then she inspired them to define a personal style by reaching outside of their comfort zone […]
What to Wear: Denim and Plaid
Denim and plaid are Fall wardrobe staples year after year. When I think of denim and plaid, I see images of the Brawny Woman {who replaced the Brawny Man earlier this year to commemorate Women’s History Month}, decked out in her red and black plaid shirt and denim jeans.

The last plaid shirt I owned was pink and grey, and my best friend in college kindly told me that “pink was not my color.” I promptly went back to my dorm room […]
