After reading Carly’s review of Everybody Rise: A Novel by Stephanie Clifford I quickly zipped over to Amazon and purchased the Kindle edition of the book. And let me tell you, I am so glad I did. I couldn’t put this book down and I actually stayed up until 1 AM reading it because I was desperate to […]
Cocktail Hour | Remixed French 75
You guys… this week has been a week. Some weird things have happened and it’s been… just weird. I very rarely find myself getting home at night and heading straight for the wine bottle, but that’s exactly what I did last night. In honor of that, I bring to you this week’s cocktail – The French […]
Welcome To Our New Home!
Moving Day was May 9, and Chuck and I are still not 100% settled in our new home. There are still things that need to be hung up, blinds that need to be purchased (because the previous owners removed every.single.set.), and spaces that need to be filled. So, knowing that we aren’t really done – […]
Netflix Is Producing A Period Drama About Queen Elizabeth II
Netflix is spending £100 million on their new show The Crown, and I am thrilled about it! After eyeing the success of period dramas like Downton Abbey and Wolf Hall, Netflix has decided to jump on the bandwagon with a new show that will follow the life of Queen Elizabeth II from her wedding through the present. […]
Bingeworthy New Show | Catastrophe on AmazonPrime
Last week the Internet blew up with news of Amazon’s new show, Catastrophe, scoring killer ratings and rave reviews. So I did what any good child of the Internet would do – I told my husband that there was a new show that we needed to watch because “people say it’s great.” I then clarified – […]
Wedding Wednesday | The Dress
It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything about my wedding – in fact, it’s been a while since my wedding – nearly 5 months, to be exact. Some time has passed, I’ve come down from the high of it all (a bit…) and now I’m ready to share with you, my lovely readers, some […]
Violette Tide Studios – Giveaway!
So – do you all remember waaaay back in 2010 when I first started this little website o’ mine? It started as a blog to basically bust the boredom I was feeling in law school. However, someone who made that time in law school a bit more bearable was Leah – we were in the same section […]

Cocktail Hour | Cranberry Vodka Spritzer
This summer has been our very first Summer of Weddings. You know, that thing that happens to everyone where suddenly all of their friends and relatives are of marrying age and they all decide to get married at the same freaking time. Including our wedding in March (because why wouldn’t I include the highlight of […]
E.L.F. Cosmetics Review | Ravishing Rose Moisturizing Lipstick
This may be the most ridiculous thing you’ll ever read on the internet… but I never wear lipstick. During my wedding makeup trial my makeup artist basically had to beg me to put something on my lips, and I would only agree with a pretty sheer, nude colored lip gloss. And it’s not even that I’m […]
