More 20-something musings.

It’s just been one of those days. The kind where you wake up on the proverbial wrong side of the bed, nothing goes right, and no matter how much work you get through, the to-do list keeps growing.  In spite of my commitment to remaining positive in the face of adversity, today simply has me [...]

Need… Vacation… Now…

Working around the clock has been starting to get to me. When I’m absurdly busy and stressed to the nines, unfortunately one of my favorite projects, this blog, is the thing that inevitably ends up suffering. I blogged a while back about finding my new path, and it has been the most amazing ride so [...]

The Jaws of Defeat

…Or should I say, da feet.  It all started about a week ago when I was perusing Endless to help a friend locate the perfect wedding shoe.  It’s no secret that I’m in love with shoes and I’ll take any excuse to shop my little heart out, so I was more than happy to help [...]

The Wedding March

As the weeks fly by and the wedding draws ever closer, something odd has happened. At nine months out, I was a super planner and a nervous wreck – it seemed like there just wasn’t enough time in the day to get the wedding planned.

Fug Files: Monokini Disaster

While my previous post discussed the virtues of the sexy-but-covered-up one piece, here’s the epitome of what a one-piece SHOULDN’T be. I mean…. is it for a stripper? The silver lame-look (forgive me, I can’t figure out how to type the accent over the e in lame) spandex screams “video ho”, and I’m pretty sure [...]

Fug Files: Jimmy Choo Saba

Jimmy, I love you so much. Your shoes are literally the wind beneath my wings: they pick me up when I’m feeling down, keep me going through the hard times, and celebrate my happiest moments with me. It’s been a whirlwind affair so far, but the honeymoon period is over and I just can’t ignore [...]

For All You Trojan Girls

As a student at ‘SC, finding cute USC tees was nearly impossible. I usually resorted to buying a Large in the kid’s t-shirt section because it offered the best selection.
The worst fits in the bookstore were the faux-babydoll tees – the company who manufactured shirts fully believed that a wide, belly-baring shirt with sewn-on thin [...]

Bridesmaid Dress Options….

For a girl who worships cut, fit and style, perhaps nothing is more frightening than the ill-tailored, putridly-colored bridesmaid dress. Consequently, I cringe when I think of a traditional bridesmaid dress. In fact, the ugly bridesmaid dress is so ubiquitous in American wedding culture that there’s a movie dedicated to their fuglicious splendor (27 Dresses). [...]

Deep Thoughts on… life and happiness

You know what’s tough? Life. It’s the good, the bad, the whirlwind of everything, the success, the failure, the joy and sorrow, the hard work, the luck and the only thing we have. So what makes a good life; a life worth living? Is it the people in it, the places you’ve gone, the things you’ve [...]
