Part of spending a lot of time with a good ol’ country boy seems to be spending a lot of time in the woods and doing outdoorsy things — stuff that was way out of my comfort zone. I don’t like bugs and snakes and flat shoes and sweating unless I’m working out. Even so,...

Bye-Bye Bottles
I’ve been doing a little house cleaning lately and trying to “streamline” my stuff. In other words, get rid of the junk and keep only the essentials. That’s much easier said than done. I tend to be what some people call a pack-rat, but what I would prefer to call a “saver of mementos”. I’m...

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...

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...

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

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....

Leather Jackets are Great in Grey
Black leather jackets are classics when the temperature goes down, but in case you want to freshen up your look and make it a little more now — gray is definitely a good way to go. It’s a little softer but still just as sleek. I’ve got my eye out for one, even if it’s...

Sequins Galore!
Just when the days seem a little colder and a little more gray, something shiny and fun can make it a little more exciting again. Sequins and sparkles aren’t just for for dressy affairs these days – they’re just as perfect with jeans and t-shirts as heels and big hair. Images: people.com, instyle.com, gettyimages

Happy Birthday to Me!
I am so excited this day has finally arrived! Not just because it is my birthday, but because I am mere hours away from being in the city that never sleeps with my favorite sister Jennifer (well, my only sister Jennifer). This week seemed so busy trying to wrap up projects at work and pack...

InStyle Highlights
InStyle and Elle are two of my favorite magazines to read each month. There are always bits of inspiration from the ads to the content. This issue has Jennifer Lopez sporting a pretty fancy black and white dress on the cover and lots of good stuff inside. Here are a few highlights:A classic dress in...

Big Red Purse
Doesn’t this Marc Jacobs ad just make you want to run out and get a shiny new red purse? I think so! And it doesn’t look like this girl wants to let go of hers any time soon.

Beach Days & Panama City Nights
Apparently, I couldn’t get enough of Panama City this weekend. I kept going back for more! After spending Friday night at Jimmy Buffet’s Maragaritaville in Pier Park (enjoying a delicious raspberry ‘rita!), I went back Saturday to do a little shopping at Dillard’s, Ulta, and Target. Who can get enough of those places? Not me!...
