Save the Date!

My fiancé is an awesome filmmaker and photographer that loves to take pictures of me, but sadly we have very few pictures together.  This made our engagement photo shoot ultra important!  We have a ton of empty picture frames sitting around the house waiting for our nauseating couple shots that adorn side tables of people … Read more

I Ain’t Afraid of No Ghosts!

I ain’t afraid of no ghosts, but I’d rather wear a costume referencing pop culture.  Halloween has always been a means for me to express my creativity.

Everyone is venting their frustrations about the ebayers selling Missoni for Target items for double the price of retail, but no one is talking about the original price markup on these iconic goods.

Missoni is coming to Target this Tuesday (9-13-2011) for a limited time.

Sample Sale-ing Adventure

It’s official!  I have an unhealthy sample sale website addiction.  It combines two of my instinctual drives: sale shopping and competition. The concept is as simple as it is genius.  The website starts by discounting designer items, then it sets a time for the sale to start.  When the clock chimes the bargain hunters swarm … Read more

Look Hot for the Biggest Game of the Year!
