help portrait

Our friend Jeremy started a wonderful new movement called Help Portrait. On December 12th, photographers from all over the world will be using their photography skills to give back to their community. Photographers will grab their cameras, find people in need, and take their picture. When the prints are ready they will be delivered. Are you a photographer? Watch the video above and get ready to be inspired.

customer service hero

Today I needed to return a package to Modcloth, and when I called, I was blown away by their excellent customer service. The sweet girl also informed me they now offer FREE returns! I am now an even bigger fan of this fabulous company. If only they could provide a customer service class to Sprint and Comcast.

If you have money to spend and are stumped on what to get a girl this Christmas, go with these. File them under the "why didn't I think of that" category.

happy thanksgiving

I am off to visit family for the holiday and wanted to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving! It was a little over a year ago that I started this blog and I am very thankful to each and every one of you who takes time to read it! I will be back Monday with some great DIY projects just in time for Christmas!

mom and betty

A little over a month ago, my father and I were both diagnosed with celiac disease. This means no wheat, gluten, barley, rye, and oats...translation....no flour. I am very thankful for a mom who has searched heaven and earth for ways to make this year's Thanksgiving dinner taste like it has for the past 30 years. The ultimate excitement was finding out Betty Crocker now has gluten free mixes. I tried the chocolate chip cookie mix and couldn't believe my taste buds. The cookies didn't taste any different from other chocolate chip cookies, except for Kayce's...girl can make one crazy delicious chocolate chip cookie. But thank you Mom and Betty for making life and meals a little more normal this holiday season!

I am not ready for you to say goodbye. Your colors are amazing and continue to leave me in awe every year! As I begin this week of thanks, you are at the top of my list.

go fish

I was telling a friend the other day how huge a fan I am of a nude fishnet. I felt the need to explain because the word fishnet to some, conjures up images of can-can girls and bargain bins at Hot Topic. As the temperatures begin to cool and your outfit doesn't call for tights, a nude fishnet is your best friend. One of my favorite bloggers, Jessica of What I Wore, illustrates this to perfection. Check out her other amazing looks here.
