I love the use of nature in each of these pictures…from the trees to the water…each play an … Continue reading Ethereal Portraits
So prior to boarding my flight to Maui, I decided to stop into the Butter London nail salon for a quick manicure. The manicurist mentioned that my nails were peeling (gross and embarrassing…I know) and that I should start using some sort of nail strengthener.

But the responsible adult in me (oh, ya you heard me … Continue reading I Need This Cat Beret In My Life.

Been there, done that. But I am loving the pencil skirts made out of french terry (sweat shirt) material…especially those with angular wrap details!
