Fashionable New Year

NYE MGM

This post brought to you by No nonsense. All opinions are 100% mine. As I enter into this last few weeks of pregnancy, I’m beyond jealous of all the cute non maternity clothes out there right now for the Holidays.  Case in point, the new colorful leggings and jeans that seem to be everywhere but [...]

closet-design-ideas-celebrity-closets-02

Don’t hate, appreciate.  That is the montra I’m repeating as I review these celebrity closets.  As we talk about organization, we may not have 50 pairs of jeans and tons of Ugg boots like Eva Longoria, or 5,000 square feet like Paula Abdul, or have a staff to design and maintain our closet organization.  But [...]

I’ve never been one to exude a tremendous amount of self restraint.  Saying no to that cream cheese based dip or one more glass of wine (knowing I have a DD of course) has been my downfall – and this holiday season – it has turned into that 5 extra pound downfall.  Why does it [...]
