I feel like we’re getting to that age where your bare legs start to look weird. Does anyone else notice this? Like all of a sudden our knees are a little saggy, and our shins bruise for seemingly no reason. As more and more maxi dresses make their way into my closet during the summer, […]

Recently, Erinn and I made a friends date to go to Target. We were a little over our marital, parental, and professional obligations, so we determined that the best therapy for our woes was retail in nature. Besides, now that they’re redoing most of the Targets to feel like swanky department stores, we had to […]

It’s that time of year again…temps drop and it’s time to say goodbye for good to warm-weather fashion. I have to say this prospect has me pretty excited. There is something about this season that has me wanting to sip hot chocolate by a fire place all wrapped up in my blanket. And even though […]

It was a right of passage for every girl growing up in the 80s and 90s-the obligatory viewing of “Pretty in Pink”. From the first frame when Molly Ringwald steps onto the screen in her signature color, my love affair with this fiery, red-head, pink-donning, brat-packer began. I imagined myself just like Andi in the […]

We’re not trying to get all didactic or anything here, but English teachers can’t resist talking about juxtaposition. It’s certainly our most favorite literary device, if not all-time favorite word in the English language. For a quick lesson, juxtaposition is placing two things near each other for a contrasting effect. Like Garrett’s Popcorn, cheesy cheddar […]

If you know me personally or follow our blog, you know that I’m Italian. And we Italians are certainly known for our food, but any pure-blood will tell you it’s not about the mouth-watering, cheesy delicacies we whip up. I mean, every ethnicity has its specialties. What makes Italians different is how we look at […]
