It’s been over 20 years in the making, but it’s finally happened. We just moved into our Forever House over Thanksgiving week. It couldn’t be more fitting that we moved that week because there is so much to be thankful for. We are right next door to the house I grew up in and the […]
Have you heard? Today is #WeirdWednesday. That means that today Austin, Texas, is being crowned by National Geographic as the inaugural “Weird But True” Town of the Year and all week long National Geographic Kids will be celebrating the results of its survey of kids across the United States who have shared what’s kooky, unique, […]
This week we were so excited to get a sneak peek of the brand new American Girl store that’s opening this weekend at the Stanford Shopping Center in Palo Alto. I’m not totally sure why we were so excited because neither my daughter nor I had ever actually seen an American Girl doll in person […]

This week I’ve been coveting glamorously scented locks without the need for a tedious wash and blow dry, like Serge Normant’s ylang-ylang and jasmine-scented Avah promises: Who has time for the full blowout anymore? Sadly, not this former prima donna. You Might Enjoy:CRAVE IT. COVET. LOVE IT. This Week: Love Glitter Nail PolishCRAVE IT. COVET. LOVE […]

I don’t know why, but 3 years and 2 kids into this motherhood thing, I still think of Mother’s Day as a day dedicated to my own mother, not little old me. I’m still always surprised when the day rolls around and I realize that Hubby and the kids have already started a tradition of […]

Thanks to Walgreens for underwriting this post. I was paid as a member of the Clever Girls Collective, but the content is all mine. Visit http://www.walgreens.com/beauty. My name is Chrissy and I’m a drugstore junkie. I’ve been hitting up drugstores since I was in sixth grade. It began with me scouring the shelves for the […]

This week I’m loving the idea of turning violence into beauty, like the way designer Ellen Miller of Botticelli’s Niece has designed these brass flake necklaces from spent bullet casings: Isn’t this a much better use for bullets? Maybe I don’t look like or technically qualify as a hippie, but I do believe we should […]

Since I’m loving weddings this week, I thought I would share the perfect look for your next black-tie or formal affair. This outfit took me through three events this summer, including a ballroom black-tie wedding, an outdoor wine country wedding, and a fancy dinner on the town, and will no doubt take you straight through […]

This week I’m coveting Nuxe’s Huile Prodigieuse OR: This luxurious multi-usage dry oil is just what your sun-parched skin needs to become silky and smooth after too much beach and pool time this summer. Your whole body benefits from basking in this oil’s sheer sun-kissed shimmer. It comes in a non-tinted version, but why on […]

I’ve quit the law, if you didn’t already know. As in I’m not practicing it, not that I’m not following it. My first week as a stay-at-home mom was a little messy. But thankfully, this week was bleach-free and everything landed where it was supposed to (well, almost). Here’s the summary of Week Two by emotional […]

This week I’m loving glitter nail polish and the “youth-ifying” effect it has on my mood: Think you’re too old for glitter on your fingers? Think again. Essie’s Carnival layered over a blush pink or sheer silver short nail is perfect for wedding season and Deborah Lippmann’s Happy Birthday layered over a dark hue looks modern […]
