If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!I was contacted by the girls of Clever Girls Collective a few weeks before BlogHer09 and asked to be a “brand ambassador” for Yummie Tummie Shapewear while attended the conference.
Basically, they were going to give me two free Yummie Tummies [...]

If you read my personal blog, you might have noticed yesterday that I talked about some free jewelry I was getting to wear to the BlogHer conference this week.
I didn’t get to pick it out myself, so I’ve been anxiously waiting to see what I was getting and whether or not it would actually match [...]

A friend of mine recently mentioned that carrying a laptop through an airport is much easier with a laptop backpack, as opposed to a shoulder bag.  I’m headed for Chicago next week for the BlogHer conference and had kind of been dreading hauling my laptop around for four days.
The laptop backpack seemed like the perfect [...]

We’ve covered summer dresses and handled the problem of chafing.
Now it’s time for my second favorite summer wardrobe item:
Skirts.
Look, I don’t like to cram my legs into denim if I can help it when it’s hot as hell outside, OK?  The next best thing to a one item outfit like a maxi dress is a [...]

I hate trends that require a total wardrobe overhaul.

If you’re a woman with a pear or hourglass shaped body, finding a pair of jeans that fits your waist and your hips can seem downright impossible.
I used to consider myself an hourglass.  And then my boobs shriveled up, my hips [...]

The rainy season has officially begun here in Florida.  I can tell because it has rained every single day for the last week and a half.
All that precipitation has got me scouring the Internet for a new raincoat.
I used to have this super cute cobalt blue raincoat.  And no, not when I was six.  I [...]

I am a late convert to the maxi dress trend. Maxi dresses were all the rage last summer and spring, but I always assumed that the super long length would be too much for my petite frame.
This year maxi dresses are back and I have fully embraced maxi dresses for the summer. I [...]

I think every woman needs a cute white purse.  A great white handbag is as versatile, and necessary, as a black or brown bag – especially in the spring and summer.
My go-to white purse was in sad shape after much use and abuse over the last three years, so I decided it was time to [...]

The fact that these products exist make me feel slightly less trashy.
It’s good to know I’m not the only woman in the world walking around with my bra straps showing half the time.  Sometimes it’s the fault of a bad bra, sometimes it’s the fault of a good bra gone bad, and sometimes it’s just [...]
