Smile File-Where the Sky Meets the Earth

/ / 12 Comments
So our planet is pretty amazing. While stumblin’ the other day I came across the Salar de Uyuni on Daily Random Facts and it really took my breath away. Salar De Uyuni in Bolivia is the world’s largest salt flat. This is what the Salar De Uyuni looks like typically. Already gorgeous, but during the rainy season in winter Salar De Uyuni turns into the world’s largest mirror blurring the distinction between sky and Earth. Can you believe this is… View Post

What I Wore-Bahahahaha

I laugh because just last night the BF and I were watching TV and these sunglasses appeared and I said “Oh I have those guys!” and the BF says to me, “Yeah, never wear those.” Bahahahah! Not that I don’t value my dear BF’s opinion, I do and think he has wonderful taste. But truth is, I wear the things I like :). I won these Coco & Breezy sunglasses from Kimberlee of I Have a Degree in This. I… View Post

Summer is in full swing so it’s only appropriate that I do a post on ethical swimwear for this weeks Shop for MORE. Did you know there are oodles of choices when it comes to eco-friendly and fair trade swimwear? I LOVE this laid back one piece by Bodkin on super sale at  Founders & Followers for $135 marked down from $225. I kind of die for the modern triangle pattern in eco-line Mociun; the below one-pieces are on sale… View Post

Smile File-What’s Your Doggelganger?

/ / 11 Comments
I saw this site in New York Magazine’s Approval Matrix a couple weeks back and could NOT resist! Maybe the BEST marketing tool I’ve seen in a long while. The Pedigree Adoption Center in New Zealand created this fantastic site to raise awareness of the thousands of dogs that need a home. Super simple and fun site, promoting a fantastic cause. You can either upload a picture or take one, I just took one with my laptop. Then they do… View Post

Smile File-Oh These Words

I came across a post on Dumb Little Man titled “Little Words with Absolutely Huge Meaning: Use Them,” and it got me thinking. I tend to be really careful with my words because I really think they are immensely powerful. The worst things and the kindest things that have been said to me I could recite to you verbatim. How about you? Here are the top 5 little phrases to use more quoted from Dumb Little Man’s post. Thank you… View Post

Smile File-When Things Come to Life

I am constantly inspired by people being creative. This has GOT to be the most extraordinarily beautiful stage designs I’ve ever seen. Discovered on Storage Geek this image from the Bregenz Festival in Austria on The Telegraph. The Bergenz Festival is a performance art festival held during July and August in Bregenz and they have become very famous for the Seebühne (or floating stage). The image above is from the 1999 production of Verdi’s A Masked Ball. Here are some… View Post

What I Wore-Bag of the Moment

/ / 14 Comments
I’m a bit of a serial bag monogamist. I tend to get incredibly infatuated with one bag and love it till it falls apart then move on to the next. At the moment I’m obsessed with this tote that my dear mamacita gave me years ago. I am loving the message, the strong graphic lettering, and the red, white and blue. The quote on the bag is by John F. Kennedy. My mama has spent her life trying to make… View Post

Friends, some of you might remember the shopping ban I took in May (post here), it was the first time I’ve taken this challenge and I was really nervous to fail. But I’m happy to report that I was successful and I think my view on shopping has changed quite a bit, more on that another time. Sooooo, now that shopping ban is over 🙂 (insert macarena here) I am excited to treat myself just a little. I scored a… View Post
