I turned 41 this spring; right before my 40th birthday, I reached the point where reading glasses were a necessity. At this point, I’m about ten minutes away from being one of those women who has a pair in every single room and three in my handbag.
Reading glasses from Anthropologie
Thank goodness so many places make such cute reading glasses. It almost makes getting older just a excuse to accessorize.

It’s June! Summer is here! (Can you believe it?) It’s time to break out our darling new sandals and flip flops, but ladies, let’s make a pact. Let’s make sure our feet are in tip-top shape, okay? Honestly, I don’t think there is anything worse than glancing at someone’s gnarly toes. GROSS.

Spring Fashion Week in New York wasn’t just about clothes and accessories. Au contraire, mon frére! The 2009 collections gave us major insight into the upcoming season’s hottest beauty trends.

Harper’s Bazaar recently published the most prevalent hair and makeup trends for the Spring 2009 season, and I couldn’t be more thrilled with some of the looks. Here are my top five contenders.
Just for today, let’s all forget the name of this blog because I want to talk beauty products. Specifically, fragrances. (Don’t tell Nataly, but makeup and/or all things beauty is my true passion.)
After several years of not wearing a fragrance, I have decided to venture out into the wild to try to find my “signature scent”. Ladies, this is not an easy task, as my poor, overused nostrils can attest. Although I haven’t found the perfect scent yet, I am not giving up anytime soon.
