Buy my jeans
Remember these Forever 21 jeans I raved about? Well, now they’re online and you can order them yourself right here.
As a premium denim label devotee, I am so impressed with myself because I lurve these F21 jeans. Though at $30, I’m sure they’ll be ready for the dump when I’m ready to be over the shredded jeans look. But that’s okay! I’d much rather spend $30 on...
Stretch out those fingers!
Balenciaga bags are up to 50% off at Beyond the Rack today. Beyond the Rack is a lesser known online sample sale site, and in my opinion, their sale selection isn’t nearly as stellar as Hautelook or Gilt Groupe.

I need stuffing recipes!
I’ve haven’t specifically told you, but Jason and I are hosting 14 people this Thanksgiving holiday. It’s the first time I will have ever cooked a turkey, and I’ve got a 22-pounder in my fridge just waiting for me to do something to it.
In addition to the turkey, I’m providing the mashed potatoes (these I know) and stuffing (this I...

– Jason, on an exceptionally creepy picture snapped of him. For the past few weeks, he’s been growing a beard and decided to shave it off this morning, but not without going through a few variations of moustache/beard combos. Let’s just say the one that the iteration that sparked this...

The Way I Wore:
Sparkly shirt that looks like Edward’s skin in sunlight: Forever 21
Furry vest that looks like Jacob’s skin (sometimes): The Limited
Leggings: Romeo & Juliet Couture
Motorcycle boots that remind me of when Bella gets a...

My house
I’ve had a lot of you folks ask to see pictures of my new house. I haven’t really posted any because it’s still a work in progress in terms of things we need to get (rugs, art, etc) and things we need to do (paint!). I’m a firm believer that you should not have anything in your house that doesn’t make you happy, so I’m willing to wait for that perfect thing to...

The folks over at Corvus Noir were kind enough to feature my outfit on their blog. I am so happy with the necklace I won, it’s unreal. It’s such a fabulous conversation piece and so unique. Loves it!
