I’m a jewelry fanatic. I wear jewelry every day. I am never without earrings, necklace, watch, ring, and bracelet just about every day. I even like to wear jewelry to the beach. But whenever I do wear some jewelry to the beach, I’m concerned about losing it. Enter TribeTats Jewelry-Inspired Temporary Metallic Tattoos. I received …
Years ago, during a business trip to Las Vegas, I had a couple of days to myself before the project started. So I decided to go to the Canyon Ranch Spa for a facial. I noticed some interesting looking ice blue spa sandals, and I bought a pair. They were designed by a Swiss podiatrist, and they …
I love hats. And they are just as important in summer as they are in winter. My color-treated red hair fades dramatically during the summer, so wearing a hat when I’m outdoors helps. Keeping the sun off my face is a priority for me. A hat with a nice brim is what I look for. …
May and June are two of the busiest gift giving months after December over the course of the year. There’s Mother’s Day coming up on Sunday, followed by graduations, and of course, wedding season. And unlike the traditional gift-giving winter holidays, these occasions are memorable and should be marked by a gift of something special. For me, …
Have you ever had a dress that you saw somewhere get stuck in your mind? Even though you don’t have an occasion to wear it, you want it anyway! When I was in seventh grade, I went to a party where I saw a girl wearing a dress that truly spoke to me. It was …
I love to visit my close friends, Fintan and William, in their adorable ranch house. They bought it a little over a year ago, and they renovated the whole house. They put down beautiful new wood floors throughout. William who is from China grew up removing his shoes when he came home, and with his …
For a change of pace, I thought I’d share a DIY or craft post. I love to crochet, and from time to time, I like to show you what I’ve been working on. Today, I’ve got one of the hats and infinity scarves that I crocheted earlier in the season. I’m pleased with how they …
Orange is really hot this summer. As a redhead, I can definitely wear orange. And coral is one of my all-time favorite shades. Since we’re into the heart of summer now, and some bloggers are already showing looks for fall, I figured I’d better get going and do a look-of-the-day featuring orange. While I was in …

Back in February, I was in San Francisco for a week for work, but I was lucky enough to have some play time while I was there. Since I was there over Valentine’s Day and President’s Weekend, Jeff came out to spend the weekend with me. On Valentine’s Day, we went to see the permanent …

Some might call this “ode to the Miami Dolphins”, but I love peach and mint green or aqua. They’re good redhead colors. And after a long winter, I love flowers especially on a rainy, windy, blustery day like today. I am so ready to wear spring clothes, but it’s not quite spring yet here in …
About a month ago, I had the opportunity to try Shoplately.com, a very cool and affordable shopping site. Shoplately is a site for “shops” that sell clothing, accessories, shoes and boots, jewelry, and makeup, mostly manufactured items but some handmade as well. The price points range widely, but I was amazed at how much …
Hi again, hope you enjoying a little respite from the cold! So nice here in New England not to have to wear the heaviest of winter coats for a change 🙂 Hope you take a look at this past week’s posts from the Beauty Blog Coalition, if you have a chance. My post is toward …
I’m sure most of you in the U.S. and perhaps in Canada and other parts of the world, may have heard that we’re having a heck of a winter. In fact, we’re expecting another storm tomorrow. It’s March for heaven’s sake. Give it up, ole’ man winter! Move along! Midnight Velvet to the rescue! Yesterday, …
