Well, next week is July 4th. The holiday that provides us with lots of yummy BBQ- hamburgers, hot dogs (is there really a good hot dog?) red, white and blue desserts and lots of explosions! Sending positive thoughts that no one loses a finger this weekend, and I’ll gladly receive those positive thoughts for our…
For years I was a Victoria’s Secret swimsuit snob. I’m really not sure when they stopped selling swimsuits. Beginning last year I really started falling in love with Target’s swimsuits. Starting very early spring, like before Easter you see them taking up a large section of the women’s department. We know most women have a…
Well, it’s six days away from Father’s Day and I haven’t gotten the hubby or my dad anything yet. Anyone else with me? I’m sure it’s no surprise to my friends and family. I’m probably the biggest procrastinator on the east coast. I will say, Andrew and I don’t go crazy with holidays. We’re bad…
Well, I hope you didn’t miss out on the Nordstrom Half Yearly Sale. You had over a week to snag up all the awesome deals. However, I did learn that if you weren’t quick, you probably missed out on some of the hottest items. I’ll be honest, I’ve only been an avid Nordstrom shopper for…
Hello. My name is Alissa and I’m addicted to Amazon. I’m really not sure when I got my first hit, but I do know that within the past 5 or so years I’ve become full blown addicted! One of the first “extra features” I started using of Amazon’s due to a friends referral was their…
There’s something about sunshine and 70 degree weather that just screams “Shoe Shopping” to me. It could be the fact that my feet are dying for fresh air and a pedi from Pennsylvania’s wet and cold winters. To me, it seems like we have so many more shoe options for spring/summer over the fall/winter seasons.…
I’m going to be completely up front with you on something. When I first started noticing all the pom poms and tassels on all of this springs best sellers I really wasn’t sure what to thing. First impression, it made me think of my Grandma’s curtains she used to let me practice ironing a good…
So, a few years ago I had a very difficult time turning 30. I was used to being the young one in the crowd. After 30 came and went I learned to adjust and deal with it. However, when 40 comes around I plan on spending a month on a private beach to prepare for…
Little Women and Anne of Green Gables (Really making myself feel old here…). But once I was required to read books for class, I hated it! I actually bribed my little sister to do my book reports for me. She was two years younger and a little smarty pants so it was actually fun for…
Being blessed with having a daughter (most days) I must say – I have the most fun shopping for her. I’m so thankful I lucked out and have an eight-year-old fashionista. Madison’s always been the little girl that enjoys dressing more like mom rather than the little girl who looks like she fell from a crayon and glitter…
