I have officially been unemployed longer than ever before. Even the time between taking my last college course and finding my first “real” job wasn’t this long. I’ve applied to about 70 jobs, and I’ve been on two interviews. One for a job I really want, and one for a job that turned out to […]

I’m Lusting After… Gloves.
After wearing standard knit gloves forever, I decided it was time to grow up. I went digging in my closet and found the black leather gloves my parents bought me for Christmas years ago and they now hold a sacred place in my purse as an essential winter accessory. Since I’ve whipped out the universally […]
I’m Lusting After… Tartan.
Perhaps I’m particularly enamored with Tartan prints these days because my favorite royal (and momma-to-be!) The Duchess of Cambridge rocked an Alexander McQueen tartan coat dress just a few days before announcing her pregnancy and as far as I’m concerned, she can do no wrong. Catherine during her visit to her childhood school, St. Andrews […]
Do you ever have that feeling…
… that there’s so much you want to do, and so much you want to say and it’s all just jumbled up in your head so that the only thing you can do is nothing? That’s how I feel about this job search. I want a job, and I want it yesterday. But I also […]
What I Learned Today.
When you have been laid off, and are feeling super depressed and pity-partyish, the worst thing you can do is eat your feelings. I repeat: do not eat your feelings. Get your life in order, tidy up your resume, and take your mind off things by doing anything other than eating a very large dinner […]

Things such as your license, credit cards, debit cards, and cash. Did you figure it out yet? Yup, that’s right […]

2012 Holiday Gift Guide | #6 – Gifts for Guests
I hope everyone had an amazing Thanksgiving! You may have noticed that I was MIA, and I apologize. I hadn't been feeling well for a few days, and on Tuesday I finally went to the doctor and found out I have mono (again – I didn't even know you could get it twice!), so I […]

2012 Holiday Gift Guide | #4 – Gifts for Feet
I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but I seem to get obsessed with all things comfy during the winter months. And I know I’m not the only one! I had never really been a fan of slippers, but when my mom bought me some Ralph Lauren ones a couple of years ago, I quickly fell […]
