Oh, So Fun: Fiddlehead Ferns
The other day, we were driving into town from my aunt’s place out in the country and stopped at a gas station/convenience store-type place to pick up some wine for dinner. I stayed in the car with the baby, and when my aunt and Mom returned they proudly announced that they had picked up a...

Marchez Vous Giveaway
Do you know Yeardley Smith? She's the voice of Lisa in The Simpsons, so you may not know what she looks like, but you've certainly heard her. Anyway, she's also quite the cool lady: she basically decided hey, I've had an incredibly successful career as an actress...why not try other fun things?
Like shoe design!
And so she started Marchez Vous, a line of whimsical shoes with equally whimsical stories that she creates for each one (I'm wearing the Pierette in this post).

Daily Beauty: Lipstick Queen Saint Eden
Good morning! I would like to introduce you to my (and, I think, your) new favorite lipstick.
Lipstick Queen in Saint Eden is one of the latest creations from Poppy King (the famous red lipstick-wearer), and it's a sheer watermelon shade that feels great (no dryness) and is completely wearable, even if you're an all-gloss, all-the-time girl.
Really, for those of you who are still a little nervous about the whole red lipstick thing, this color is the perfect way to start dipping your toes into the waters (and trust me, once you're there, you won't go back). And for those of you who've already embraced the idea...this is how you do it up for daytime.
More red lipstick tips coming up shortly!

Bait And Switch
So remember when I dyed myself blue? On set in Des Moines?
On Friday morning, I had a flashback to that shining moment of sartorial triumph.
This project is obviously one that I'm pretty excited about, and so while I wasn't nervous per se - auditions give me the willies, but once I'm on a set I'm happy as a clam - I definitely wanted everything to go smoothly, especially because we were working on a fairly tight schedule in the morning. So before getting into bed on Thursday night, I made sure that all my location releases were printed out, my cameras were charged and packed, and my carefully-selected outfit was hung on the back of my chair. I even knew what I was planning to eat for breakfast, just like I did on days when I had big tests in high school.
And in the morning, I calmly got ready to go, made sure I had everything I needed, and was all set to walk out the door when I caught sight of myself in the mirror in my pretty new flowery dress and thought: you know what? This could use a quick ironing.
