I can’t remember when I started wearing Converse All-Stars – college maybe? post-grad school? – but I do know that these are the first shoes I’ve actually worn completely out. Multiple times. They work with just about any outfit, and add a casual, too-cool-for-school vibe to even the most buttoned […]
Craft chocolate bar by Patric Chocolate Do you see this chocolate bar?! Wait, that’s not even the best part! The BEST part is that I can actually eat it! Whoo-hoo! (Excuse me while I turn a flip, and bust a move. Go chocolate bar! Go chocolate bar! Go, go, go!) […]
While I love beautiful saturated nail color including true reds, sometimes there’s nothing better than a great, low-maintenance, goes-perfectly-with-everything neutral shade. My absolute faves right now are OPI San Tan-Tonio and Samoan Sand, two really clean, polished (no pun intended… well maybe a little pun intended), sophisticated neutral nail colors.

The quality and durability beat plastic/paper/styrofoam plates by a landslide; clean-up is one-step (pop them in the dishwasher); and the […]
Although I love, love the look, functionality, and boutique-y-shop-my-closet-ness of wooden hangers, I’ve recently had to place my gazillion Ikea ones into temporary retirement (i.e. a storage bin). Sadly, they just take up too much space in a closet the size of the one I share – equitably, I might add […]
I used to do Fab Finds posts – randomly highlighting some of my favorite items in stores at the moment – when I first started blogging, and longtime J&S reader Ms. Shannon asked me to pick it back up, specifically starting with Old Navy. Happy to oblige 🙂 Color Inspiration: […]
365 Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil (Whole Foods) For me, plain old extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) is both a kitchen and a bath staple.
