Of course, after a party, it’s customary to send thank you notes (even if mine go out a little late). But, when I went to Target the other day I found the most adorable thank you notes ON SALE- 50 cards for $12.99. Just seeing the cards inspired me.

The 62nd Emmy Awards aired on Sunday night. Funny how times change in our lives, because I didn’t even realize they were going to be on until I happened to flip through the channels mid-program. I used to live for the red carpet. I’d pour myself some wine, even dress up a bit, have friends [...]

What to Wear? A Smile is Our Best Accessory

No Comments 20 August 2010

The weekend is here, and you may have parties, dates, picnics, or just a trip to the supermarket planned.
