Perfect December Days

As much as I’ve been complaining about the dreary Seattle-like weather we’ve had at the beach lately, today has been one of the nicest days in a long time. It’s the middle of December but the sun is out and the temperature is in the 60s. Just gorgeous! Wish you were here….

A New Take on the Locket

I used to have a long locket necklace I wore almost every day until I broke the chain, but I haven’t been productive enough to fix it yet. It’s still sitting in my jewelry box waiting to be repaired. I think people put the most interesting things inside lockets — everything from old photos to...

Sit. Relax. Gossip.

One of my favorite signs ever. I found it at Scavengers in Santa Rosa Beach a few years back and had to have it. I love anything black and white (of course) and since it was under 10 bucks, I was sold. Sometimes you just need to sit back, relax and get a few things...

Stop & Enjoy the Sunset

One of my favorite things about living at the beach is watching the sun slowly and carefully melt into the water at the end of a long day. Each sunset varies just like the days and I think the daily dose is like a mini treasure. When Mom said she hadn’t seen a beach sunset...

It’s All About the Blouses

As I mentioned a few days back, blouses have been at the top of my shopping list lately and they seem to be popping up in so many fun color and prints. They’re just so classic and versatile. You can wear them casually with jeans and boots or dress them up with pants or a...

Doing Housework with Lady Gaga

It’s been cold and rainy on this grey Saturday, so I’m catching up on all those things around the house that I’ve been neglecting for what has apparently been way too long. I don’t know about you, but when I’m doing laundry, vaccuuming, dusting, organizing my closet and filing bills, I need lots of music...

Getting Into the Holiday Spirits

Since it’s getting so cold outside, it seems warming up with a Christmas spirit or two is a definite must. Holiday drinks are always so festive and fun! I got to sample (purely for research purposes) this Purple Reindeer concoction which tasted part cosmo, part grape popsicle. It was new and different to me but...

Frommer’s Top 10

Our little area, the Florida Panhandle Beaches, was named one of the Top 10 Destinations of 2010! It’s so exciting! The only other US destination listed is the Big Island of Hawaii. People are starting to catch on to what we’ve known all along. Here’s what they had to say about our neck of the...

Piggy Cake

I showed the invitations for this backyard BBQ awhile back, but I didn’t show off one of my proudest accomplishments – the pig cake. That’s right. I made a cake that was not only edible, but tasty, pink and looked like a little piglet. It was a minor miracle. Most everyone who knows me, knows...

Mad for Moleskine

I stopped by the Destin Barnes & Noble today to pick up a 2010 Moleskine planner. I absolutely love these perfect little leather books. They make blank books for writing and sketching, lined books, graphed books, address books, even books with music pages and storyboard spaces. They come in tiny pocket sizes all the way...

Blair’s Black & White Blouse is Bliss

I don’t think I can ever get enough black & white. It’s the definition of classic and can be done in endless combinations, prints and styles. Gossip Girl’s Blair Waldorf always dresses so ladylike and this outfit is no exception. This top could be recycled for years and still be fresh each time. Blouses have...

Black Friday Shopping

I hope everyone had a fabulous and relaxing Thanksgiving! Mine was just that and involved quality time with the family, a little travel and more dressing and 10-layer chocolate cake than it should have. I didn’t get up early to brave the chaotic crowds, but I’ve definitely been scoping out my fair share of deals...

AMAs Shine On

Check out some of the shiny fashions on the AMA red carpet last night. There were lots of shimmery fabrics, lamé, sequins, and sparkle. The line between terribly tacky and totally fabulous is a little gray (or maybe a shiny silver), so what do you think? Hit or miss? via JustJared

Jewel Tones Galore!

Tis the season for jewel tones, and it seems if one is good, two is better, and three or more is fabulous! If you like garnets, emeralds, amethysts, sapphires, rubies and the like, this is time to pile them on, mixing and matching a few colors together. Take note from Natalie Portman at the Brothers...

About That Time

I think it’s time to put this little charmer on my Christmas list. Everyone needs a fabulous watch, right? I used to wear watches all the time and somehow got out of the habit in the last few months. My wrist needs a buddy again and I’m pretty sure this one would be well received....
