    Today, I whipped up a little banana mask up in my quest for great DIY beauty. Designed for oily skin, I thought it would be perfect for me. I keep ripe bananas frozen in my freezer and used one for this recipe. Please do not do this. Use a fresh one instead. The mask works…

    My love of clutches has been documented here before. Day clutches are on trend again, but I think they’re classic enough to be considered a wardrobe essential. I’ve rounded up a few clutches I found online, but they are everywhere. One of my favorites is the iPad Clutch from Coach. It’s part of their great Legacy…

    Statement necklaces are “in” again this fall. Pretty or edgy, they add instant personality to any outfit. Below are photos of Olivia Palermo and Nicki Reed rocking the trend casually and dressed up. Those photos are via InStyle.

    There are a number of reasons why people might think I’m crazy. Making home-made bread with a four-month-old is one of them. Choosing a recipe with multiple rise times for my first go at is another. Selecting the recipe, because it looked good, and I didn’t want to buy special flour is probably at the…

    We are sleep training the baby, which is as awful as it sounds. Really, it’s terrible. I’ve only done it for an hour and am ready to stop, but I will perservere. Things like this song and Nashville are getting me through. Have you seen Nashville? It’s so good.

    Whenever I feel a little out of control or off kilter, I go on a full organizational rant. It’s classic type-A behavior, and I always feel so much better after cleaning things up. I came across a pin on Pinterest talking about “40 bags in 40 days.” Basically, you clean one space a day removing a…

    The classic cat eye is huge for fall. Whenever I think of this look, I should picture Sophia Loren, but instead, I think of Lauren Conrad, because I’m so cultured. I decided to give this look a try for myself and remembered how terrible I am at liquid liner, so I picked up the Eye…

    So, I had a few computer problems last week, which meant this post on brocade had to be postponed. I hope you don’t mind, but I thought I’d share it today. Fall fashion is all about opulence this year. Brocade, embellishment and jewel tones made headlines in many of the shows. While the embellished pieces and rich colors are right…

    I am currently obsessed with The House of Eliott, an old BBC series from the 90’s. I ordered the discs from Netflix and have been feverishly watching them while I feed the baby. It has all of the things I love: 1. Fashion 2. Period Drama (the 1920’s in this case) 3. London Location 4.…

    Rosé wines are kind of like the carnation of the wine world. Typically dismissed and ignored, they don’t get as much acclaim as their red cousins, and in my opinion, this is pretty unfortunate. Like their flower counterpart, they deserve more. (All of the beautiful photos in this post were taken by Miss Megan.) Light and…
