I’m not really what you’d call a fashion or style blogger, I’m more of a “so this morning I was thinking about this or that and I decided to write about it blogger”, so I was thrilled beyond belief when Jennie from A Pocketful of Polka Dots asked me to join her and the rest…

Coffee Talk: Days of Observance, There is a Difference
I’d like to welcome you to Coffee Talk. If you’re new here, this is where I share some of the great and not~so~great stuff that I find on the web. Topics range from news stories that leave me scratchin’ my head to DIYs that I think are absolutely clever. And, who knows, there may even…
Hello, I’m Fabulous
When my daughter saw this tee, she just started laughing and said “Oh my gosh, that is sooooo you!” A few weeks ago I received an email from Glenda at So What to Twenty telling me that I’d won the #HelloImFabulous contest that she hosted on her blog. Of course, I was beyond thrilled! I’d…
Abandoned Beauty {Dawson, GA}
We’ve been in Georgia for a year now. I can’t believe it. In some ways it feels soooo much longer and in other ways it feels like I’ve only just arrived. I’m still adjusting to things here. The people here are so incredibly polite. Every time someone says “Yes, Ma’am” to me, I have to resist…

That Time My Picture Was On QVC
I don’t think it’s a secret that I’m a big Lori Goldstein fan. I’ve quoted her and stalked her on Instagram and QVC since forever. In fact, I was a fan of hers before I even knew who she was… When I was a kid/teen, I was quirky. Go figure. My style was loud and in…
