Happy V-day to Me!!! Thank you Budget Babe!

I love  The Budget Babe.  They have wonderful fashion finds for a lady on a budget so it kind of feels like you’re in on a great secret. Also, they have this super fun game that I play every time it pops on my reader… today’s game is with Frye boots. I got it right today (smile), but there are definitely days when I pick the bargain version and am shocked! Below is The Budget Babe’s look-a-like challenge today. One pair… View Post

Smile File part deux….2/10/2011-Wear your heart :)

I want my bit about jewelry from yesterday to have it’s own post. I  really want to encourage wearing things that are meaningful to you  because it really does brighten my day. I typically over accessorize and you might miss these gems on me since I’m over gemmed typically, but I always wear something from 3 very special people: my mamacita, my dad and my dear Aunt who is like another mom. The Cartier watch was a college graduation gift… View Post

Last night I attended an event thrown by Urban Girl Squad, and hosted by In Good Company. The event was called, “Be Your Own Boss: Intro to Entrepreneurship” now typically a title like this would make me sigh and then delete… I don’t really dream of being my own boss or making boatloads of money but I DO dream of contributing to this world in a way that is right for me and I haven’t been able to find an… View Post

So my NY winter has been downright rude! Snow annoying if you will and because of that I have been in a wardrobe slump of all slumps. I’m trying to inspire myself to wear more interesting things because frankly I am boooorrred. I basically wear this ALL the time: I don’t mean to hate on this outfit…it is my old faithful and I do love it! It’s super warm and comfortable, also I am never feeling too blobby in it,… View Post
