I Need Cardigan Anonymous

November 16, 2009 by

Hi, I’m addicted to cardigans.  I have a lot of cardigans.  One of the things that has fueled my addiction to cardigans is buying solid colors to ensure that I can wear them with as many outfits as possible.  What I’m seeing is that a cardigan can in fact be an accessory now what with all the ruffles, embroidery, stripes and prints available.  I need help, this has opened a whole new world for me.

Who Needs a Man??

November 16, 2009 by

My husband is a firefighter that works 24 hour shifts at a time several times a week, so he isn’t always around for dire emergencies…. Let’s say my wine cork is stuck way too tight for me to get out on my own*. I found this miraculous invention that almost takes his place and its under $10 bucks! I swear it will open ANYTHING.  Do yourself a favor and get one NOW.

Etsy Spotlight: Lo Lo’s Rings

November 13, 2009 by

Rings!  I LOVE bright funky rings!  One funky ring can add just the pop of color an outfit needs.  I was just browsing Etsy one day…like I do every most days.  Shut up, everyone does it. Wait. What? You don’t browse Etsy EVERYDAY??  Loser.  So anyway, I ran across Lo Lo’s Rings and fell in love with the Crabby Patties Ring.  You would not believe what I can wear this ring with…ALOT, trust me.  Lo Lo’s Rings are super comfy because they have elastic cords for the band.  I’ve been eyeing the Iced Blueberry Ring for a while…which one are you going after?
