What I Wore to Mother’s Day Brunch
My husband and I took my parents to a delicious brunch on Mother’s Day at the club where I play tennis and I think we all ate way, way too much (there was just so much food, including poached salmon, tons of salads, a carving station and the most delicious dessert table). I usually […]
From ANTM Live Toronto: Petite Friendly Convertible Dresses from Henkaa
One of the dresses I purchased at America’s Next Top Model LIVE! Toronto was this convertible/multi-style dress from Henkaa (“change” in Japanese).

What? Ron White Carries Sizes 4 & 4.5 at Nordstrom, Not Own Boutique
