Casual Friday usually means a well-fitting pair of skinny jeans, blouse, blazer, and flats for me. But it is such a beautiful day in Denver that I decided to spice up my typical denim ensemble. Sometimes an outfit idea starts with a pair of shoes, and today these were my inspiration. I’ve been dying to [...]
Well I can’t start this blog without mentioning the Pork Chop Sandwiches video because that is all I could think about when I was making these last night. Have you seen these GI Joe videos? Well remember those old GI Joe PSA’s from when we were kids? Well probably six years ago some guys took [...]
