Left the office at 3 today... ...and this is where I spent my afternoon.Bring on the sunshine!

This is Bailey. She was my birthday present and is the new love of my life. She is a beagle / catahoula leopard dog mix. (and, yes, that is a real dog!)She's sweet and very shy, but she's coming out of her shell a little more each day.She was adopted from the Humane Society and is about 7 months old. She was found on the side of the road and had been hit by a car. Her tail was so badly broken

This is an easy project that's perfect for a rainy afternoon. Anyone can make these coasters; they're easy and eco-friendly. I got the idea after seeing a similar item for sale at Urban Outfitters. If you're like me and have tons of magazines lying around, then this is a great way to get rid of few. I made six coasters and it only took me 2 hours. Once you get going, it's hard to stop! In fact,

Róisín Murphy Ms. Murphy has been rocking my world lately. Her music is so freaking cool and she's not too shabby either. Her style blows my mind. So retro its modern. Techno/nu-jazz/lounge-punk cabaret. I describe her music as what would happen if Sade started partying with Bjork and Grace Jones, and then got impregnated by David Bowie. That baby would be Róisín's music.Flawless. Flawless.

1. Clinique Moisture SurgeI will never understand combination skin. How can parts of my face be so dry and peely, while at the same time I'm probably causing UFO accidents light years away with the reflective glow from my oily forehead and chin? Luckily I have Clinique Moisture Surge. It gives me a nice dewy complexion that lasts all day and does do a great job of moisturizing the dry areas

While in England this past summer, I was obsessed with taking pictures of street signs. American signs are loud, in-your-face and demand, rather than ask, for you to obey them. And why shouldn't they be? After all, their function is to get your attention and to warn you about things.However, our neighbors across the pond seem to have taken a slightly different approach and utlize signs that are

Mel's Antique Jewelry... I stumbled across this wonderful site today...and literally spent 1.5 hours browsing (aka drooling over) this stunning collection of antique jewelry. The selection of art deco, edwardian and art nouveau rings are to die for. These are some of my favs. So fabulous....check out the collection at http://www.melsantiquejewelry.com/. Oh yeah, and there's an ebay store,

ooohh, MRS. O! I am absolutely loving the blog I just discovered...Mrs-O.org. It tracks Michelle Obama's style and gives you info about what she's wearing and tells you where to get it. I read about it this morning in the New York Times Art & Style section. I think the concept is really intresting because I'm obsessed with learning how companies are using blogs and social networking to market

Greetings from the Sunshine State!Even though our move took place during the tail-end of hurricane season, we were fortunate to have avoided any major storms. So far the weather has been heavenly!

I'll admit that I am in a HUGE rut style-wise. I think the fact that I’ve been living on my friend’s couch for the past 4 weeks has something to do with it. I am always quick to get ready in the morning. I have it down to a science, and the whole routine takes me under 40 minutes. But, lately I’ve been waking up and walking out the door in less than 30 minutes, and it’s definitely showing in my

Well the summer is unofficially over…and I still can’t believe it. I was trying to figure out how time had passed so quickly, and the reasons are pretty obvious. I’ll give you a quick recap in order to explain my sudden Blogging absence: I spent the beginning of July preparing for my big 2-week European Vacation. My boyfriend Phil’s sister lives in England and got married on July 18th. The

What’s your “Real Age”? Mine is 29. It’s better than my Wii Fitness Age, which was 59, (stupid baseball!) but according to this online survey my body is aging faster than it should for several reasons: 1. I don’t eat a big enough variety of meats and proteins, 2. I don’t eat nearly enough fruits and veggies 3. I’ve spent too much time in the sun sans sunscreen4. I don’t exercise regularly or do

Anyone who knows me knows that I’m obsessed with dogs. Ruby, my family’s Chesapeake Bay Retriever, was almost 13 when she passed away. And while she was a huge part of the family, she preferred to spend her time swimming, running and getting dirty outdoors. It wasn’t until my college roommate Beth returned from home one weekend with Archie the coon hound, that I was introduced to the concept of

Rachel Bilson RULES!I've never seen Rachel Bilson act in an actual movie...but I have seen her dressed in a lot of totally incredible outfits.I know absolutely nothing about her, except that she was on The OC and in the movie Jumper; but, for some reason I want to be her best friend. And it's not because I want to raid her closet-- although I'm open to that idea if she's down, too. She just seems

I spent the weekend at my parent's house. Here's a taste of how I spent my time.I've been living in Baltimore for awhile now, and I definitely enjoy escaping "city-life" and returning to my laid-back hometown on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. Each time I visit, it gets harder to leave and every trip reminds me how lucky I am to have grown up in such a beautiful setting.Here are 8 things I love

This weekend my Boyfriend and I attended his step cousin Missy's wedding in Mogadore, Ohio. And even though we got terribly lost on the way there, (thanks to the fact that his mom gave us the wrong address for his aunt and uncle's house) the wedding and the entire weekend were both ridiculously fun and extremely too short!I've been to two weddings in the past nine months, but I was a

Ombre (n) A French word meaning “shaded.” Usually a multicolored stripe with colors graduating from light to dark.This technique of dyeing from light to dark has been around for a long time. It’s basically tie-dye’s distant (high-fashion) cousin. But, don’t expect the kids at your local YMCA summer camps to start making ombre T-Shirts instead of traditional tie-dye gear. Ombre is an extremely

Danish art student Nadia Plesner designed this T-shirt depicting a Darfurian child holding a Louis Vuitton bag and a Chihuahua. Her point being that we are more interested in celebrity culture than the genocide in Darfur. In February Louis Vuitton hit Plesner with a copyright lawsuit demanding she pay $20,000 a day for each day she continued to use this image and reimbursement for legal fees.

The Sex and the City movie hits theaters on May 30th, the studio is kicking their promotional efforts into 5th gear. This movie's premiere is set to shake up the lives of impressionable, forward-thinking, young women and gay men everywhere. It's the movie equivalent of Uggs and Skinny jeans. However—like skinny jeans, uggs, and other relentless trends—this movie isn’t for everyone. And, from the

For some reason, lately I've been feeling like I need more yellow in my wardrobe. Luckily, I satisfied my urge by shopping on Polyvore.com, instead of at the mall. Here is what I picked out...While I was there, I decided my living room would look good in red. What do you think?...

British designer Antonio Beradi’s latest creation definitely caught my eye. Innovative? Yes. Comfortable? Probably not. I must say, going completely heel-less may be a little bit much. And this is coming from a girl whose shoe-size is “between an 8 and a 9 ½, depending on how bad I want the shoe!”These bad-boys are 5 1/2 inches off the ground and cost between $2,000 - $4,000.

I can't get enough Chester French! Too bad I can't hear their music anywhere but MySpace. Their sound? Well, think Franz Ferdinand meets The Beatles meets The Beach Boys meets Andre 3000. Their inspiration? Think retro sunny melodies and 60s pop with a modern, electronic edge. Their songs? Think refreshingly different and more innovative than any of today's over-produced cookie-cutter pop music

I am a big fan of Diane Von Furstenberg. Unfortunately, with the exception of a wrap dress I scooped up at Nordstrom Rack for 50 bucks, I have to admire her gorgeous designs from afar.Recently, I discovered her line of fine jewelry and spent an entire hour browsing every piece in awe. The bright stones, clean lines, and clunky, chunky quality of the collection is right up my alley. I wouldn't
