40 Things That Are Giving Me Life Right Now
Every once in a while, I stumble upon things that make me audibly gasp—like the internet just reached out, grabbed my soul, and whispered, “This is for you.” These finds aren’t always practical (or budget-friendly), but they fuel my creativity, get my wheels turning, and make me dream in high definition. I do a roundup of these items every month and bring them to you.

The Biggest Spring and Summer Fashion Trends – Part 2
Ah, spring and summer—the seasons of sunshine, rosé, and the eternal struggle of looking effortlessly chic while sweating profusely.

This year, the style gods have spoken, and the holy trinity of Sheer, The Color White, and Fringe reigns supreme.

The Biggest Spring and Summer Fashion Trends – Part 1
It’s that time of the year when I look at the trends in fashion for the Spring and Summer and see what’s what. This year is all about the pastels and I had to break the blog post into two parts because the pastels were so much! All the colors in an easter egg basket from butter yellow to baby pink, baby blue, mint green and pale peach were represented at all of the runways. I found it hard to find a designer who did not buy into this trend. But it’s not your Grandma’s or a child’s pastels; it’s surprisingly modern and chic.
Designer & Diy’er pumped up on caffeine and willing to create anything. I want to let women know they can do it and if they don’t want to, I will.
