Nothing but a Whole Lot of Something & Link Up On the Edge #181
Lately, I have been really wracking my brain to find my writing angle. I know there is something big inside of me that needs to get. Something powerful that will help others in their own struggles. I know that I have the nerve to address the uncomfortable topics in life. I know that I have the capacity to articulate the things that people may need to hear. I know that some of the darkest places inside of me are the places that resonate with even the most distant strangers. And I know in my heart that it is important for me to share. My problem is finding exactly what it…

Snow Leopard with EvaTrends & Link Up On the Edge #122
Leopard print is one of those patterns that has become a staple and a requirement in every fashionista’s closet. Over the past few years I have really grown to love this particular animal print above all other animal prints. Although I am very fond of cow prints as well, but that is much more difficult to acquire on clothing and shoes. I suppose no woman really wants to be draped in a print that could possibly elicit comments such as you look like a cow. But I do very much crave a pair of fuzzy cow print boots for some reason. So if anyone ever spots such a thing, please…

The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book-May 2018-Leopard Print
Welcome to The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book! Welcome! This is The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book. A year ago, Nancy and I started The Bad Buy Book, a monthly series about our worst purchases. It was a lot of fun to do and we both learned something from it, too! Nancy learned that off-white against her face is not the most flattering color. And I learned that I have a serious problem resisting a good thrift shop find when it comes to pieces that fit “good enough” but “not quite right.” However, after a year has passed, we decided to change the series a bit. You can choose whether you want to show…

Reminder: The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book-May 2018-Leopard Print
In just 5 days, Nancy and I will be posting the third edition of The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book and we would love for you all to join us! The theme for May is Leopard Print! Leopard print has become a timeless pattern and functions quite well as a neutral combined with many colors or other patterns such as plaid or stripes. Both Nancy and I are huge fans of leopard print so we decided it would be a fun theme for May. What is The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book? It is a monthly series that Nancy and I will both publish on our blogs on the 15th of each month. Anyone…

Leopard, Stripes, and My Red Cape
If you have always wanted to mix patterns, but you are unsure of how to do it, remember this: One of the easiest combinations to pattern mix successfully is stripes and leopard. To make it even easier, pair a black and white striped top with a leopard print scarf. Throw in a splash of red and you look like you have known what you are doing all along. No one would ever guess you had doubts. For additional inspiration in pattern mixing combinations, check out here where I paired leopard with a splash of red, here where I combined a striped shirt with leopard shoes, and here where I wore…

Cheese Curd Day
Thursday is Cheese Curd Day where I live. At least it is at The Cheese Store on Route 3 in Watertown, New York. I had never heard of cheese curds until last week when a local resident insisted that I must try the fresh cheese curds on Thursday. So yesterday, we headed out to The Cheese Store to see what all the excitement was about. I admit that I did a Google search on cheese curds because I was very unsure what to expect. In fact, the name itself kind of grossed me out! For those of you who are also unfamiliar with this local delicacy, this is what I…
