Outfits of the Day #ootd
I love to put together outfits. I find something calming and exciting in the process. And if I think I look good, I tend to feel great! Hopefully, you can find some inspiration here for feeling amazing in your own body.

Cold Weather Coziness with Ethyl Clothing
It is that time of year when the weather in Northern New York just turns kind of crummy. While the fall foliage is absolutely stunning up here, it lasts for a very short period of time and before we know it we are buried in snow until some time in May. And as you are all probably well aware by now, I get so damn stinking cold when the temperatures drop below 50. I honestly don’t know how I am going to survive this winter if we hit our typical temperatures of 20 to 40 degrees below zero. When Ethyl Clothing invited me to try out some of their fall…

Wednesday’s Quote of the Week & An Outfit
I know I only shared two Word of the Week posts so far, but I have to admit, I am not a fan. I don’t like it. It was supposed to be an easy post to write but then I found myself getting all stressed trying to come up with a great word for the day. So silly…getting stressed about such a benign thing. So I am bailing on the Word of the Week posts in favor of a Quote of the Week instead. I do love a good quote! And while I do enjoy the etymology of words, stringing a bunch of words together to create magic is way…

Shelbee’s Sunday Morning Quarterback #9: The Great, the Good, the Bad, and the Sad
#5 Michigan Wolverines 42 – #14 Penn State Nittany Lions 7 Welcome to the ninth episode of Shelbee’s Sunday Morning Quarterback! Before I turn the keyboard over to my husband, I just want to add a short preface. We are a few hours behind schedule on this one, making it more like the Sunday Afternoon Quarterback…there was a lot of drinking and way too much food consumed yesterday that left us both feeling lethargic this morning. Not to mention, the emotional aspect of yesterday…keep reading for details on that. By the way, I am so proud of my husband for addressing the topics he did in this post today. He…

Running on Empty & Link Up On the Edge #118
I had big goals today. Again. And my energy level did not meet my ambition level. Again. And I have tons of work that needs to get done. Again. And there are not enough hours in the day. Again. And I know that my little sob story here is not unique or strange or different. It is the world we all live in and the cycles we all pass through. So you can relate, I’m sure. So bear with me whilst I continue on my whiny way… I have much to write that needs writing. Topics of great importance to me that are becoming clearer in my head and prime…

The Magnificent 8 Are Distressed
I don’t know if you remember back in July when I introduced a new quarterly collaboration with 7 amazing blogger friends who each represents a different decade of life…The Magnificent 8 Showcase: Life’s a Beach. We range from teens to 80’s and are showing that style truly is ageless. Each quarter, we choose a theme and each create an outfit that suits our own personal tastes and fashion choices and we post them on the last Wednesday of every third month. So be sure to go check out everyone’s posts for lots of style inspiration at any age! Courtney of Sugar Coated Bears is representing teenagers. Michelle of Michelle’s Pa(i)ge…

The Fab 40’s Went Goth
For as long as I can remember, I have always been drawn to different fashion trends, never fitting into one clean little box of style. Throughout the seasons of my life as I have experimented with my own personal style, I have noticed that I favor certain styles more than others. But one genre of fashion that always makes me feel most comfortably like myself is Goth. Not the over the top, spikes and leather and morbid Goth, but a more subtle and tame version of Goth style. When Suzy of Pixie Chick in Portugal chose this month’s theme for The Fab 40’s, my angsty heart from my teenage years…

Shelbee’s Sunday Morning Quarterback #8: 4th Quarter Liver Failure
#17 Penn State Nittany Lions 30 – #18 Iowa Hawkeyes 24 Welcome to the eighth episode of Shelbee’s Sunday Morning Quarterback! And here’s my husband, the Sunday Morning Quarterback, with the highlights from yesterday’s Penn State game against Iowa. 4th Quarter Liver Failure Seriously, my liver cannot handle Penn State 4th quarters this season…Four straight games decided by 6 points or less with a fifth one decided by a touchdown, all coming down to the last series of the game and two that didn’t fall in the Nittany Lions’ favor. Folks, I tell you this season is putting a workout on my liver during Saturday afternoons, along with having to…

Just an Outfit Post & Link Up On the Edge #117
I have had a lot of deep wonderings going through my head of late and I am struggling with ways to articulate them. I want to share these thoughts because it helps me to process some of it. Sharing it also helps me to gain new perspective and a better understanding when I am feeling somewhat confused by my own silly brain. I think it also makes fun topics for discussion. But the problem is my inability to adequately express what I want to say. So for now, there apparently seems to be just meaningless chaos floating around in my mind until I can properly sort it all out into…

Not a Beauty Blogger & Esqido Gel Eyeliner Review
I have never and will never claim that I am a skin care, makeup, or beauty blogger. Not ever. Yes, I have a basic skin care routine that I generally practice. Yes, I apply makeup daily. And yes, I see and praise the beauty in a million different things every single day. But skin care, makeup, and beauty as a topic for writing and photography are just not in my wheelhouse. Not a strength. Not a passion. Not a desire. But every now and then, a brand will reach out to me to try a product in the genre of skin care or makeup. And every now and then, I…

Another Plaid Dress with Another Halftee
Do you remember the gray plaid dress I wore to the pumpkin patch about a week and a half ago with a black Halftee? Well, just in case you don’t remember, let me quickly refresh you about this wonderful layering option in women’s fashion. Halftee is a product that was created by Wyoming native, Amanda Barker, in an effort to reduce the bulk of layered clothing while maintaining a put together look with all the essential layering qualities like cute necklines peeking out from beneath dresses and tops. Halftees fit with the perfect amount of snugness to keep things smooth and in place underneath your clothes. No bunching, no scrunching, no…
