Fantastic Role Models for the Budding Fashionista
Role models aren’t always easy to come by in the fashion world. Of course, that’s not to say that the industry isn’t jam-packed with inspirational figureheads. However, a seemingly dark undertone to the glitz and glamour of the fashion sphere can sometimes make these figures difficult to find. Fantastic fashions and iconic looks aside, the world of the runway in particular has long been rife with questionable antics including ongoing weight debates and even the need for substance use treatment programs for some of the industry’s best. Many of the unsavory standards and machinations in the fashion industry can make it difficult to revere the people in that field, but…

Reminder: The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book-Summer Shoes & Link Up On the Edge #298
When Nancy and I first began this series as The Bad Buy Book, we kicked it off by featuring “sitting shoes”. You know those shoes that are so utterly fabulous that you cannot bear to part with them but they are atrociously uncomfortable so all you can really do is sit and look pretty in them? I have a bunch of those shoes and I do like to show them off occasionally especially since I give them valuable closet space. But comfy shoes are way better than sitting shoes. So when we made the transition from The Bad Buy Book to The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book, we started with shoes once…

Star Wars & Your Own Twist Link Up #44
Star Wars Day was celebrated two weeks ago on May 4 by Star Wars fans in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and several other nations around the world. The inspiration for choosing May 4 as the official Star Wars Day celebration comes from the popular line used by Jedi Masters in the Star Wars movies. “May the force be with you” has been punned right into the official Star Wars Day greeting, “May the fourth be with you”. Since the release of the first Star Wars film in 1977, fans became so obsessed that May 4 quickly caught on as the unofficial day for celebrating all things Star…
