Eat Cake!

I’ve had an odd fascination with Marie Antoinette ever since visiting Versailles many years ago. Until that point I didn’t get the true opulence of the palace and her lifestyle. And while it’s true, during the reign of her husband, Louis XVI the household budget was slashed dramatically and much the the palace left to […]

Retro?

Are the 80’s considered retro already? I am still on a crazy awesome 80’s kick.  Yesterday I was up in LA running around.  I ran into some China Glaze in the color Shocking Pink, bought it and nail polish remover, and redid my nails in the car. I have a few things to post today, […]
