Link Roundup

Little late! I was gone most of the day yesterday at the local Freyfaxi celebration (which was awesome, I so enjoyed it) and forgot to write this before passing out last night. You also might notice that I changed up the look around here, let me know what you think – I got a wild…

Lush Hair Products: Review

As my hair’s grown out, I’ve had to readjust many parts of my old haircare routine. Case in point: my old shampoo and conditioner were just not cutting it. They worked fine for shorter hair, but with longer hair kept leaving me with greasy roots and dried out ends, for some reason. I’ve heard so…

Simple Syrups = Simply AWESOME

When I worked at a coffee shop, my favorite drink was Italian cream soda, hands down. I love sugary coffee drinks but they are rather unkind to my stomach (and my nerves). Ever since being able to make the sodas to my specifications, I haven’t quite been satisfied with most shop-bought sodas. Club soda and half and…

Monday Link Roundup

I’m starting another internet break this week! I’ve scheduled posts for today, Wednesday, and Friday ahead of time, but as I’ll only be on 30 minutes in the morning and evening (mostly to keep my email inbox in check) , I might be a bit slow to reply in comments. I’m greatly looking forward to…

Saturday Shoelust

I’ve never owned Rieker shoes before, although several of their pairs have good reviews on Zappos. Several of their shoes are pretty dowdy, but I think these are a lovely blend of quirkiness and practicality. The scalloped edging on the strap and the detailed silver snap is the icing on the cake!

“Anyone can do it!”

Recently on Twitter, Alicia and I talked about the whole “anyone can do it!” phrasing that’s incredibly common in several groups (off the top of my head, the groups that come to mind are minimalism, lifestyle design, “green”, and even some vegan groups). I can’t recall what sparked the discussion, but I remember that we…

Daily Outfit/Scott Pilgrim

This is what I wore to go see Scott Pilgrim vs. The World yesterday (I wanted to see Inception, but Matt thought that the trailer looked too pretentious.). I actually wore this a couple of weeks ago at one of the blogger lunches, but the pictures from then turned out shitty and I really liked…

Monday Link Roundup

I changed the name from Marvelous Monday to the less alliterative Monday Link Roundup – just because I feel it fits a little better…here’s this week’s interestin’ readin’: Remember where there was all the hubbub about the German magazine that banned models? Franca at Oranges & Apples checked out a copy of their magazine, 9…

Saturday Shoelust: Dansko

Dansko is not usually a brand I think of when I think of shoes that I *want* – comfortable shoes, yes, quirky shoes, yes, but not shoes that you think about after closing the browser window. Well, they pretty much hit it out of the park with their fall line as far as I’m concerned….
