Here’s a confession: Any time I receive an invite that calls for “cocktail attire” I get slightly nervous. My style is usually fairly casual and I definitely wear pants almost 100% of the time. A skirt or dress is such a rare occasion for me, that I find it harder to style those looks. Even…
During the last 5 years of blogging, I have shared a lot with you guys. I’ve taken you to restaurants, shared my daily looks, beauty rituals and parts of my fitness and diet. I have written about my travels, about being sick and about my family. As you may have noticed though, Mike’s picture has…
Over the years, I feel like I have developed a fairly healthy lifestyle for myself, without obsessing over things too much. I enjoy the meals I eat, I have grown to love exercise and I am content with the way I look (most of the time). Personally, I am not a fan of certain diets, but…
Mondays aren’t always my favorite. It is hard to go back to emails and long to-do lists after all the weekend fun (I am sure most of you can relate). Lately, however, I’ve found a way to make Mondays pretty enjoyable. They are what I like to consider my “me days”. For a few weeks…
“A smile is happiness you’ll find right under your nose.” -Tom Wilson Whenever someone asks me to describe myself, I would usually say that I am a happy person, with a love for the beautiful things in life. My friends and family mean the world to me and I eat too much hummus. There are…
I can’t help but get excited whenever the post man rings the bell. While I usually know exactly what is arriving, today I had a super special surprise! But let’s rewind a little: Last Fall, Monika Kanokova asked if I had time for an interview for her upcoming book. Of course I had time – but…
Even though I wanted to celebrate my birthday somewhere warm this year, of course I also wanted to celebrate with my friends. First thing we did when I was back in town, was a super lazy birthday brunch. Lots of friends, presents, some bubbly, good food and laughter made the day extra special, and I…
In the 8 years that Mike and I have been together, we have never celebrated Valentine’s Day. Why? Certainly not because we don’t love each other, but rather because my birthday has always been the next day – and that probably won’t change anytime soon. As soon as the clock strikes midnight, it is all…
Last week, I married Kathi! Not really, but it sure felt like it. We hopped in front of Julie Brass’ lens for a bridal shoot to show off Anna Posch’s skills. Don’t worry, no wedding bells ringing just yet, but it was so much fun to play dress up with stunning dresses and even more stunning…
I have to admit, ever since Kathi and I started working together full time, I rarely dread Mondays anymore and I don’t get overly excited about weekends. We spend our days doing what we love most (plus a bit of not so fun paper work and finances, of course …) and I don’t feel like I need…
