Sephora Stunner

Did anyone else see the intriguing "Looks" that Sephora came up with for their most recent catalog? I'm so loving the "Brilliant Sorceress" look.I mean, sure, it's out there, but this isn't the kind of look I would wear to work. Actually, I'm not sure I'd ever have the guts to try to pull this off in public, but every once in awhile, don't you just want to play dress-up with your make-up? I know

Urban Outfitters Does Dresses

I get in such a rut sometimes with shopping...scouting out the same places over and over and over again. I guess on the one hand, you could say that I just know what I like, but on the other, it wouldn't hurt to venture out more now and again. Urban Outfitters is one of those shops with really cool stuff that I always manage to forget about. At the local mall, it's kind of way down on one end

Dog Walking Outfit

Dog walking outfit? Just kidding. I wore this today b/c the weather turned out warmer today than normal for this time of year. Nothing is easier than putting on a comfy jersey dress and some relatively comfy heels (can heels be comfy?) Anywho, I took Bailey to a canine cafe today and got him a special puppy tart - it looks like a dessert, but it's for doggies - so cute! And he just loved it!

Sponsor Chic: Lip-Lusciousness

Every day (besides those random fluctuations in temperature) the weather gets colder and colder, which means that for us fashionistas, we need to stock up on good moisturizing goodies to keep us looking refreshed and healthy all year long.

Sephora Newbie

I went to Sephora for the first time last week.

When Geek Went Chic: Winter Accessories

If you're like me, you may remember your mom wrapping you up for your walk or bus ride to school...or maybe she just wrapped you up to walk from the house to the car. Either way, I distinctly remember how hideous I thought so many of things were that she was layering on me to keep me warm. Think of it as the typical kid taking a mother's caring for granted ...thanks mom - I know better now.

Nicole Richie is Pregnant in Style

I hope that when I'm pregnant (you know, in a few years), that I can be as fashionable as Nicole Richie. I think it's awesome to see pregnant woman rocking cute outfits. Not that pregnant women shouldn't wear comfortable, casual, and relaxed outfits, but it's nice to see that they can still dress it up a bit and still look just as chic. Here's Nicole Richie showing how it's done:NOTE: Photo
