Have you ever noticed that the items that come in tall (petite, too, probably) seem to fall into the "basics" category? Button downs, denim, work dresses, blazers, dress pants. Just the necessities. Don't get me wrong, they are necessities for a reason and those categories should be prioritized before all of the extras, because that [...]

A Diamond in the Muff
Can we start prepping for winter? I am not sure when this set of earmuffs initially came on the market but I do know that I initially noticed them back in June. Maybe they are from last winter? I really don't know the timing, but I do know that I want to wear them when [...]
Thai Shrimp with Rice Noodles // @2souschefs

Muse Monday: Marnie Michaels
Of the four Girls, Marnie Michaels circa season one, had my favorite style. On top of that? Her hair was total pageant-worthy. (That is a good thing in my book.) I hate that a Google Image search for Marnie Michaels does not yield the full length outfits that I was hoping to uncover. I think [...]
