Friend Friday: Nail(ed)

Oh yeah, baby. I’m loving this week’s Friend Friday* topic! If you’re a regular G&G reader, you know I have confessed a nail polish addiction, waxed on about colors and brands and all kinds of nail-related baloney, and published too many gratuitous foot shots.** This week, I’m doin’ it vloggy style again. I like that name, [...]

WVW: Western Wildflower*

So I guess I wasn’t kidding about more hat posts. That they are so close together, however, is utterly coincidental. Today I ran home from work and threw on this sundress (and the flattest shoes you’ll ever see me in) because I was racing to make my nephew’s first swim meet. The hat was a [...]

WVW: The Hat*

I love hats. But I should wear them more often instead of letting them languish in my closet collecting dust. This is one of my favorite summer hats…so adore a floppy straw or woven hat. I have everything from baseball hats to berets to a big fabulous faux fur number that makes me feel like [...]

Friend Friday: The Style/Confidence Relationship

When [...]

Not with Amanda—though she is quite a beauteous lass—no, I was charmed by her charms: a Tiny Anchor Necklace [...]

Hello Beautiful Stranger!

I’d never be so bold as to claim the beautiful part, but I am so chuffed to be a featured entrant in BeautifulStranger.tv’s blogger contest, Are You the Next Beautiful Stranger? I’m up against some truly beautiful competition and amazing bloggers, and while I’d love to win, I’m also immensely flattered that I made the cut for a spot on [...]

WVW: Jumpin’ Jumpin’*

How many times do we need to hear “never say never” to believe it? Apparently I need to hear it again. I’ve been all over (and not in a good way) drop-crotch pants for quite some time—my favorite whipping boy being the harem pant. Now I still cannot go there. But I did find myself [...]

WVW: The Man Up*

When all else fails, I can count on some version of a wifebeater and black wide-leg trousers to get me through. It’s my favorite way to do the menswear look—only with a harness instead of suspenders. Sometimes I like to get in touch with my inner tomboy because for five minutes, you get to feel [...]
