Spring is here! Okay, I could be wrong…again. But it definitely looks like spring outside. I am celebrating by finally planting those white tulip bulbs last night and wearing my favorite pale green ballerina skirt to work today. I am also celebrating by switching up my make-up from the browns and coppers of winter to…

Taking a cue from my favorite fashion blog, Bunnyshop, today is the debut of the “Friday’s perfect thing” feature on EmilyStyle.com. Today’s perfect thing: a gorgeous gold, diamond and emerald cabochon cocktail ring from the 1930’s. I have no idea what it costs but it is perfect. Wouldn’t it be lovely paired with a simple…

Sweet buttery goodness! I love croissants. I know that they are terrible for you. But French women don’t get fat, right? I eat about one a week and haven’t died of a coronary yet. They remind me of this poster for sandwiches I once saw in Spain that said “Freshly Crustly Bread.” Mmmm, crustly bread!

Enough with the things I hate (evil yoga teachers, car doors, saxophone jazz), let’s move on to the things I love today. Mainly, wrap shirts. If you have what is commonly described as a “boyish” figure (let’s not kid ourselves, twiggies), wrap shirts accentuate your thin waist and help you pretend to have hips/boobs. Plus,…

Life just keeps getting weirder and weirder. Last night, Jean and I had an intense yoga session with an instructor that bore an uncanny resemblance to Rosie Perez, may have been a masochist and was dead-set on breaking our arms off. I’m not sure what type of yoga we were doing, but I left feeling…

Yay for Liz and Eric from Seattle! They have a cool crafty website called ArtGhost that sells some awesome designs. For example, these notecards and these paintings. They also have a blog. The best part: Liz is working on making a Pride and Prejudice comic book. How cool is that! You can read the first…

Thanks to birthday-boy-Joe for sending over this photo of our view from the VIP balcony at Ruby Skye last Saturday. Wild and crazy times!

After last weekend’s craziness, it’s time to cycle in a few new catch phrases: Acid burn – A curse term for any sort of minor injury. For example: Oh no, I accidentally touched the curling iron…acid burn! Derived from oddness of international film “Dot the I.” Apologies to people with actual acid burns. I don’t…

Urban Outfitters…the end-all-be-all source for affordable hipster schlumpiness. Also, a great source for the occasional hidden gem. A gem like these $16 angel-wing earrings. Or these semi-bizarre raffia flats. Or this dreamy urban tea table. Or this adorable candy dish that would love to hold post-it notes at your office. Or the candy dish’s friend,…

It’s cold and rainy outside…why not stay at home tonight and start a new craft project. There are a few new babies entering this world in the next few months, so I need to think about shower presents. How about making one of the homemade teddy bears (without the tooth pocket) instead of buying a…
