Setting the Mood: Beauty Sleep

By Kirsten|May 27th, 2014|Setting the Mood|

Fun fact: I’m narcoleptic. Okay, maybe not clinically speaking, but show me a pillow and I’ll show you a coma. I’m probably one of four people who has ever fallen asleep in Las Vegas… at a nightclub… with a giant costumed Elmo dancing right above her head. If I were to be a fairytale princess, I would undoubtedly be Sleeping Beauty. As a matter of fact, I should be much more beautiful due to the amount of beauty sleep I’ve amassed over the years. I once had a boyfriend who told me that he was comforted by how restfully I slept. He thought it meant I had a clear conscience. Ha. And while I’ve fallen asleep on dates forcing them to leave their phone numbers on tabloid covers and scraps of napkin, my narcolepsy has saved me from many a late night pizza delivery. So, my unpredictable sleep patterns aren’t all bad as long as you don’t mind my snoring.

Setting the Mood: The Daisies of Our Lives

By Kirsten|May 12th, 2014|Setting the Mood|

Truth be told, I don’t care much for daisies. I often lump them into the same category as carnations, which are the cantaloupe of flowers in my book. However, there is something quite sunny about a daisy. And who doesn’t love playing “He Loves Me Not” with the petals? Honestly, you have a better chance of getting an accurate read from a bud than boy these days. So when you combine daisies with denim, you’ve got a combination that even Catherine Bach would stamp her seal of approval on.

Setting the Mood: Five Alive

By Kirsten|April 28th, 2014|Setting the Mood|

Somehow it seems we’ve made it through the showers of April without drowning and soon it will be May, one of my favorite months. So, bring on the flowers. Also, go ahead and bring on the tequila because Cinco de Mayo is right around the corner. Sure, some people take it to extremes kind of like St. Patrick’s Day, but because I could easily eat Mexican food every day for the rest of my life, I’m happy to have a designated day for it. Fun fact: Cinco de Mayo (also called El Día de la Batalla de Puebla) is not actually Mexico’s Independence Day, which is celebrated on September 16. Another reason to indulge in Mexican culture.

Setting the Mood: How Very American

By Kirsten|April 21st, 2014|Setting the Mood|

There is nothing more American other than maybe our flag, apple pie, or childhood obesity than denim. A long time fashion staple that started off as casual and has since gone couture, every man, woman, child, and sometimes dog has and should own a pair of well fitted jeans. Beyond being a closet staple, April 23, 2014 marks this year’s Denim Day (so be sure to slip into your favorite pair to show your support). I had never actually heard of this event until this year, but I most certainly will be taking part- because standing up for what you believe is also very American. So, with that said, this week will be dedicated strictly to denim.

Setting the Mood: The Softer Side of Spring

By Kirsten|April 15th, 2014|Setting the Mood|

This Sunday, the Easter Bunny will come to town and bestow upon us lots of calories we probably never needed, but will enjoy every moment intaking them. With him comes Easter bonnets and pretty pastels which also happen to be one of this spring’s biggest trends. So, whether you celebrate Easter or Passover… or you’re just in it for the Cadbury eggs, pastel is a perfect way to usher in this very stubborn spring.
