Originally, outlet and factory stores sold items that either didn’t sell in regular retail stores or that had slight manufacturing defects that prevented them from being sold in stores in the first place. Now, a large percentage of outlet merchandise is made specifically for factory stores (i.e. […]
This quick, easy side dish is one of my hubby’s absolute favorite foods. I can see him cheesin’ from a mile away every time I make it 🙂
I seriously believe that breakfast is indeed the most important meal of the day: it gets my metabolism going, helps me shake off I’m-still-sleepy sluggishness, and sets the tone for the rest of day. (I am not so joyish or sunshiney when I’m hungry.) Â Sometimes, though, my mornings are […]
I love this print! The fact that it just happens to be located on a perfectly tailored 3/4 sleeve jacket is bonus. Even if it had been throw pillows, I would have been walking out the store with them. First up: Olive is one my favorite neutrals. It plays so […]
After the time I was late for a party and had to stop by the grocery store to buy an exorbitantly-priced (and very ugly, I might add) gift bag for a present, I knew I had to do better. I mean, that thing was u-g-l-y you-ain’t-got-no-alibi ugly. Fugly. Butt ugly. […]

I use colored cardstock (widely available at art supply stores like Michael’s and in the office supply/scrapbooking section of stores like Target) to add a pop of color to framed vacay pics. It’s quick, inexpensive, and for the decor commitment phobic like myself, easy to change out. Simply disassemble the […]

I saw this flower on a trip to the Bahamas, and I had to take a picture of it. It was so vibrant and full-colored that it just looked like happy. It also seemed reminiscent of something to me…Â then I realized it was the exact shade of the nail polish […]
Scarves are almost always my accessory of choice, and I needed something fairly inexpensive to replace the chair and whip I used to tame my crammed-full scarf drawer 🙂 Archival Ornament Storage Box: The Container Store This 16-compartment archival ornament storage box* comes with a top (not pictured) and has […]
After realizing that I know little no portion control when it comes to cereal, my go-to quick lunch (sometimes 2 slices and always with a mug of green tea) has also become my go-to late night snack (sans tea). Almond butter on multi-grain toast topped with sliced apples: simple, fast, […]
I’m not a very crafty person, but I needed some drawer liners I wouldn’t have to replace every 2 seconds, and I didn’t want to spend very much money for them. After some trial and quite a bit of error… … I found out that watercolor paper makes great, inexpensive […]
