This week: I’m going to California. The blog beef rages on. I have already planted potatoes. I am embracing my love of Virginia by getting amped for a road trip. I talked all about the shoes I’m wearing (and the ones I’m not!) in my best friend’s wedding. And I’m really looking forward to the [...]

These are my Confessions
March 28th, 2010 
The Empress Back in the day (weeeeeell…maybe 7-8 years ago) I used to have this thing I called “confession time” wherein if you happened to be on aim at 3 in the morning I would target you and demand you confess something to me. 3am is a magical hour where secrets come spilling out and hot dogs [...]
Week Of Wardrobe Wednesday – Other Mirrors Edition
March 10th, 2010 The Empress Yes! It’s that time of the week again! The time where I show off all the clothes I’ve been wearing this week and hope you’ll give me feedback on what I should/shouldn’t be wearing. This week I didn’t actually touch the self-timer on my camera. Instead I opted to try taking pictures of myself in [...]
Week of Wardrobe Wednesdays
March 3rd, 2010 The Empress I am just pleased as punch to introduce one of my new weekly features! This isn’t even something I can take credit for – all of that goes to Jecca – whom I have fondly nicknamed Sistahair because she’s Ms. Fiercehair’s … sister (see what I did there? I’m SO clever sometimes) and her own [...]

In doing so, the article suggested [...]
365 Chain-Free Challenge – An Update
October 7th, 2009 The Empress I know some sick small part of you is hoping I’ve failed. No, not really hoping I’ve failed in that sense that you think mean things, but just hoping to hear me say “It’s soooo hard” so you can swoop in with your ”I told you so-s” or your “I have tons of unsolicited advice [...]
Dress, Lust
April 25th, 2009 The Empress I have been wanting and visiting this dress for several months now. But I feel strongly that it will not be as flattering on me as it is in the picture. How do you “get over” various articles of clothing or other purchases that you can’t make for various reasons?
Freezing (More stuff from all over)
February 20th, 2009 The Empress I had typed out this whole post last night but then the internet went out and it would not save. UGH. So, here we go again. 1 – Academy Awards Liveblog. 8:30, Red Carpet begins at 6, I won’t be there (here) until 8 because the line has to be drawn somewhere. 2 – Fashion [...]
