Invest In: Massage

Not looking forward to this long and arduous work week, I set out to really pamper myself this last weekend. The debilitating knots in my shoulders told me the best thing to do was head down to Clear Awakening and see if lovely Carissa couldn’t alleviate months worth of computer work.

With the release of Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland comes, of course, the discovery of a million trinkets that will make you feel a little bit like Alice.   I was browsing Unique Vintage’s costume department and found a few Alice-inspired accessories that would add a touch of magic to any outfit.  (Click the images to Related posts:

Where’ve You Been, Babycakes?

Holy crap, you guys!  I’ve had about a week and a half of solid blog-neglect.  What am I out doing that’s so important I should be ignoring YOU?

Weekend Work: Photo Shoots and My Thoughts

This weekend was BUS-AY!  After a week and a half of solid, non-stop preparation, I met up with Kimberlee at the Deco Modiste showroom to capture some of our spring and summer looks.

Weekend Fun: Jersey Shore Party

This weekend Mister and I hung out with Super-Guidette, NayWoWW for her Jersey Shore Birthday Bash at the See Sound Lounge.  Ever the City’s Social Detective, she had the down-low on where the good music was, and hoardes of Seattle Socialites came out to celebrate.  I figured the costume theme would be hilarious and warranted Related posts:
