How many packages have I received in the mail over the course of the shutdown? I've honestly lost track at this point. My latest online shopping venture was with Madewell because I had a little treat yo self moment. And yes, surprise surprise I bought a new bag. Isn't she lovely? The Madewell Transport tote [...]
You all know that designer items are my biggest weakness. My influence in fashion all started with my mom as she started to collect Louis Vuitton and other designer handbags as I was growing up. She's even given me some vintage designer pieces over time! As I got older, I wanted to buy pieces with [...]
One of the things I miss about pre-quarantine life is brunch. Going out for brunch, dressing up for brunch, drinking too many mimosas at brunch...you name it! We've been doing Sunday brunch at home for the past few weeks but it never quite feels as exciting like a morning out in the Old Port. I've [...]
I've been spending most of my time in quarantine playing around with more make up/trying out new skin care products. Being a part of the Ulta Beauty Collective program has really helped me step out of my comfort zone when it comes to using new products and trying out bolder make up looks. I've also [...]
It's no secret that all of us are trying to up our cooking/baking skills while we're all at home! I've been learning new recipes every week in order to keep myself from making the same thing every week (how many times can you make chicken alfredo until you get sick of it?) My husband has [...]
The Tory Burch Miller flip flops have been on my radar for quite sometime, yet the $198 price tag was always an intimidating factor. However, Nordstrom has been saving the quarantine days with the online sales that are currently ongoing so when these babies were on sale (sadly, they're not anymore), I knew I had [...]
I think it's safe to say that winter, in Southern Maine at least, has come to an end! But alas, we're confined in our homes til the end of the month (hopefully). Regardless, I'm ready to put away my winter jackets & boots and bust out the sandals and body suits! And start looking at [...]
It's no secret that we've been pretty lazy with what we've been wearing these past few weeks and I'm just as guilty as the next person. I live in my sweats, dry shampoo has become my new best friend, and my WFH outfits have been my pajamas from the night before...business casual has a whole [...]
In just a matter of days, we were all forced to change our lifestyles. That meant cancelled events, no more shopping or happy hour with friends, and suddenly transitioning to a work from home environment. But of course, I wholeheartedly understand why we have to do social distancing. The more we are out now, the [...]
Remember while growing up you thought boys were icky, your best friend was your favorite person in the world, and your favorite saying was "Girls Rule, Boys Drool"? It still applies today! And literally on the boys drool part. March is International Women's Month and even though Internation Women's Day has already passed, I feel [...]
