So sit back, relax and enjoy the clicks with a hefty glass of wine because there are only two more days left till the weekend! Not another one!! Sad to read that the rumors are in fact true about Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale. Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Kim Richards was arrested for shoplifting: http://starcasm.net/archives/324350 Wine of the week: Dark Horse Merlot. I was invited to a private event hosted by the winemaker herself, Beth Liston. We first sampled all 6 flavors and then enjoyed a 6 course meal, each dish was paired back to the wine prepared by the main chef of Birch Los Angeles. The Merlot was my favorite by far and so affordable at only $11! Time to stock up for our weekly #52WTFWednesdays Revenge sure is sweet. Ronda Rousey got the last words “don’t cry” after her competition, Bethe Correia, repeatedly badgered her before the match.

Update Your Wardrobe for under $150

admin — Tue, 04 Nov 2014 13:44:44 +0000

When Sarah and Michelle told me I should contribute a post on fall fashions under $100, I thought, “Umm, well…like, actual good clothes that cost less than $100? Umm…” Which is not to say that I’m some rich snob who only wears $800 shoes. I don’t own any $800 shoes. C’mon, my last name isn’t Rockefeller! (And my husband reads this blog. Hi honey!) Ahem. So, no of course all of my clothes aren’t expensive, but I think I’m a savvy shopper: I find good deals, I tend to buy off-season items on sale and I never set out to shop for, say, a party dress. I see a dress that I love, I buy it and I find a party later. And I always find party worthy of a good dress. That said, I believe in investing in quality. When everything in your closet is well-made and looks good on, you always look good. So after I negotiated my baseline to $150….ish, I set out looking. I’m not going to insult our good readers’ intelligence by sending you to Forever 21 or Old Navy. You know they sell cheap affordable clothes. That tend to fall apart after a season. I’ve been […]

A Trip Down 95 to RVA

Michelle Martin — Tue, 14 Oct 2014 13:03:12 +0000

My husband and I took a trip down 95 to RVA to met up with some old college friends for the weekend. That, coupled with the fall weather, had me reminiscing about those care free days when I would throw on a college hoody, skinny jeans and a pair of Uggz. Yes, I know how cliché that is and I’m not going to lie…I still own a pair and still wear those Uggz when I walkthe fur-baby below 30 degrees. Don’t judge. Well as I mentioned, the overcast skies, scattered showers and brisk, cool weather in Richmond made for perfect cozy, sweater weather. My favorite go to in the fall now is a silk or denim button down shirt layered under a chunky knit sweater. This simple combo creates an effortless element to any fall look and if the weather brings a surprise warm up, you just shed a layer! I added my new joie crepe joggers to complete the look which was perfect since they are incredibly comfortable and perfect for weekends like this. We were sad to say goodbye to our RVA friends after such a relaxing weekend and, although it had me feeling nostalgic about college, I’m glad to say my […]

Dressing for Fall with H&M

admin — Thu, 18 Sep 2014 13:13:47 +0000

Football season has officially started, the seasonal Starbucks lattes are finally back, yellow school buses are making their rounds and brisk, cool nights are here and sticking around. So many traditional signs to let us know that Fall is amongst us and we are loving every minute of it. The early days of fall are always the most fun to dress for. So many transitional pieces to carry from summer to fall to even winter. The minimalist trend is one of our favorites by far. This simplistic, effortless and refined chic look is perfect for the transitioning weather, with fitted silhouettes and light layering pieces. Tights, boots and some killer wrap coats or oversized throws will take you to the next season until all you want to wear are your comfy, go to sweats come February! We wanted to showcase our favorite looks from H&M featuring the minimalist trend for this season. These looks could easily be worn for a date night out and even to the office if you throw on the cardigan. H&M is one of our go to stores to find pieces for our wardrobes when we aren’t sure if we want to splurge on the latest trends. Shop our looks […]
