Six pm. and I heard something scurry, looked left and then right and I began to worry. It had only been 3 weeks since I lived in this house and I was pretty certain that my roommate was a mouse. I found a hole at the bottom of the wall, peeking in I must have looked 8 feet tall. But as scary as I looked to my new found friend, it popped out it’s head and I ran in the den. Continue reading
I love the idea behind the Raid My Closet Challenge. With an inventory overflowing with far more clothes than I can keep track of and more shoes than a Jimmy Choo store, it makes sense to dig around in the inventory rather than buy something new.

I cannot resist hair named after a real life hero – and most particularly I cannot resist hair named after a real life hero that is as gorgeous as this. I put it together with a practical outfit that the real Dorothy Day would have felt comfortable wearing. She may have been a reformer, an activist, a world-changer, but she also was a beautiful woman. The foundation for this look is the perfectly lovely and stunningly executed Anoorea skirt from MichaMi. I dithered over what jacket to wear, and chose the one from TOSL for it’s chunky, handknit homemade look. That had me looking for a lilac shirt and this one from Zaara was made to order.
