I always like learning about […]

Bye bye, Summer. *sob*  Changing seasons is the worst.  How am I coping with the fact that my tan will fade and that coats are inevitable?  Shopping, of course.  Here are some of the styles that I’m looking forward to emulating this season… How amazing are these outfits?  Now I just need a ton of […]

Music Magic

So…. if you follow me on instagram or snapchat (gfstarr1) you saw the awesomeness that was my Thursday night.  If you don’t follow me (shame on you!): BILLY JOEL. FENWAY PARK.  My totally kickass cousin, Jack Antonoff (Bleachers, Fun.) opened up for Billy Joel, and my parents and I watched from the Red Sox owner’s […]

Wonder-Full

Hey all! This is the first post in a new segment I am going to call Wonder Women.  I think that women spend way too much time comparing ourselves to each other – usually unfairly – and setting ridiculous standards for beauty, weight, and lifestyle (to name a few.)  I am definitely guilty of this […]

What Goes Around…

What do the 1960s, early 2000s, and 2015 have in common?  Bell-bottom jeans, to start.  Hippie Chic is making a comeback, yet again!  I have no complaint about this; I have a wardrobe full of brighty, flowing dresses and dangly earrings.  I love the dewey, bronzed summer goddess look made popular by legends like Brigitte Bardot […]

Anyway, the quote goes like this: “The first week of […]

To Sir, With Love

When I was a little girl, my favorite time of the day was right before dinner. My dad would be cooking in the kitchen, my mom would be on her way home, and the Beatles would be playing on the Bose in the living room. The house would smell like whatever delicious pasta or fish […]

Insert Inspiring Title Here

 Sometimes you just need someone to tell you that everything is alright.  Usually, I turn to my iPod/Spotify/Song of the Moment (lately it’s Florence + the Machine’s “Never Let Me Go”) for that boost, but a good book, or even a great line can really do the trick.  Rainy days, sunny days, it doesn’t matter […]
