I looooove gold. Especially when it’s made to look like a plumeria leaf (that cuff) a starfish (that ring) or some coral (those hoops.) So, if my logistics are correct, which I’m pretty sure they

We all have things we won’t

November 9, 2017December 12, 2018

We all have things we won’t leave the house without: mascara, lipstick, phone, wallet, coffee, Lululemon, etc. I must confess, I rarely leave without stacking up my arm. It just makes me happy, and somehow

Deja Vu

It was in the high 60′s and sunny in Minnesota today, which called for 20 minutes of soaking up the sunshine in this ensemble…with an extra large iced coffee in hand. My neighbors probably think

November 4, 2016December 12, 2018

Because it’s been way too long since I’ve posted a pic in a bikini, and since it’s freakishly gorgeous outside today too…here’s me hanging on my patio, looking freakishly tan. I know, I know, it’s
