Whoa #chiberia, whoa.

Dear Lord...did the weather people have it all wrong! New York had nothing on the Midwest. We got dumped on yesterday! Get 16 inches of snow and let me know how it goes all right friends?

My husband spent about 20 minutes suiting everyone up yesterday only for the girls to penguin walk back in 10 minutes later asking for hot cocoa. Snotty noses and pink cheeks for the win!

Beauty 411: Five Mini Mascaras

I'm a mascara snob. It's true. I've tried many in my lifetime, especially when I worked for a beauty website. I had an entire supply closet of products that I would readily dole out to friends and family when they came over. 

Those days have passed, however I still receive my fair share of beauty products to test, gloss and style. You should know that while I love reviewing products; I only write about the ones that stop me in my tracks.

Staying toasty (and green!) with Marley Coffee.

Last week I had the absolute pleasure in co-hosting a media event with my pal, Alison of Sassy Moms in the City, and a very special brand - Marley Coffee. It was the right fit from the start given my daily caffeine consumption. I completely respect a brand that not only has heritage but has introduced the EcoCup capsule which is a green alternative to the K-Cup you're used to seeing on the shelves.

Marley Coffee was founded by son of Bob Marley, Rohan Marley, in 1999. The farm is located in the Jamaica Blue Mountains and the goal was simple: support local farmers, the economy and the environment.

I suppose I could always be a little more eco-conscious, however it's the small things that create maximum impact, right? Well, here's a scary fact - over 10 billion single cup capsules are consumed and go into landfills annually. That's just for North America which is enough to circle the earth 12 times!

Blushing.

Every once in a while my sartorial taste takes a complete 360 and I go from ripped jeans to ladylike ensembles. It's an all or nothing game, really. 

Today's outfit sort of came together unintentionally. It started with the pink skirt. What goes with a pink skirt...florals obviously?! And the rest is history.

t+j Designs Launch!

It's a special thing when mompreneurs band together and support each other. Today I'm sharing a new launch for t+j Designs that I am excited to support. I've spent a good portion of my shopping money on Tiffany and Jen's site for two reasons: 1. I love their jewelry and most recently, clothing! and 2. I believe in supporting small/local businesses. (Lisa owns her own business, too: BISTM! Check it out if you want to make some room in your closet!)

Street style.

Part deux of my street style series. (in case you missed last week's...click here) There's something very city about cobblestone. Wouldn't you agree? Although, not ideal for high heels...this we know. 

I loved shooting with Jennifer Claire Photography because despite the cold, she was open to shooting anywhere. Dark alley? Sure. In front of a garage? Why not? Stand on a garbage can? Definitely!

Beauty 411: my top five nail lacquers

First off - thank you for the feedback on crafting a regular beauty series. I'm excited to add different content to the site on a regular basis.

Second - what happened yesterday? Truth: I was overwhelmed. I was hosting a media event in the morning and stayed up late working the previous night. I was too cross eyed to form a sentence.

But! I'm back! Let's kick things off with NAILS!

I eat glitter for breakfast.

You guys knew this right? I mean...obviously. (inspired by this sweatshirt)

I dunno. The title seemed apropos considering my Sunday sequins. If you guys haven't paused and hit up H&M's mega sale, I strongly suggest you run don't walk because the prices are ridic. Hence, I fell in love with this sequin crop. (and this one, too)
