Props to my dad for sharing this video from Fight Back NY. It’s 2010. Why are our lawmakers still voting against equality? Last Friday night we got a couple of inches of snow–much to the delight of Briscoe, who loved playing in it the next day.

Wexford Girl‘s interpretation of a Daily Candy email newsletter is spot-on and very funny. (image via Daily Candy) I wish my handwritten script looked liked Laura’s from the SCOOP. (via the SCOOP) What a great way to learn your alphabet… and your designers. (via Sacrebleu!!) The leaves are beginning to change color in Omaha, but… Continue reading Web Surfing | SIMA

“You must eat a lot of steak and corn.” That’s what I hear when I tell fellow East Coasters that I’m living in Omaha. I suppose that’s because the brand Omaha Steaks is now a household name, and the University of Nebraska’s football team, the Cornhuskers, has the word “corn” in its name. Truthfully, my… Continue reading Tv | SIMA

The end of August is finally here! Yippee! Woot Woot!! Can you tell I’m excited about the September? Why wouldn’t I be? So many exciting things are happening: a visit to NJ, the birth of my friend’s baby, J’s homecoming. Plus, I’m dying to get a jump start on Fall trends, from menswear for women… Continue reading Paper | SIMA

It was up in the air until the very last second whether my family’s planned vacation to New Orleans would actually take place this past weekend. As J and I were literally boarding our 6AM flight on Thursday, my parents called to let us know that their noon flight out of New York had been… Continue reading New Orleans | SIMA

I don’t think I appreciated a cappella music until I went to college and saw a live performance of the Boston University Dear Abbeys. I have a vivid memory of them singing “Break My Stride” by Matthew Wilder… or was it a-ha’s “Take on Me?” Regardless, I was instantly hooked and spent many hours downloading… Continue reading Music | SIMA

With a heavy heart, I bring you my final blog post for Lemondrop: Is 2009 the Year I Become a Better Military Wife? Sadly, Lemondrop has decided to phase out its storyline bloggers (or maybe just me, who knows).  This is a huge disappointment as I’ve loved the experience of writing for a larger audience… Continue reading Lemondrop.com | SIMA

Currently Exciting/Inspiring Me: Femininity The new Chanel campaign for Coco Rouge features a perfectly polished Vanessa Paradis, who was chosen, in part, because she embodies “modern elegance.” I’m obsessed with her overall look in the ad, especially those pinks lip! She oozes femininity in the photo, something I’m currently craving. I’m so sick of wearing… Continue reading Beauty | SIMA

Well, friends, we made it through another week! And this was a particularly memorable week–one of my closest friends in Omaha gave birthday to a big, beautiful baby boy yesterday. I’m especially giddy this morning because I get to meet him today, and his parents asked me if I would take his first “professional” portraits… Continue reading Babies | SIMA

According to Ben Franklin, in this world nothing is certain but death and taxes. Here’s a third: I will never own a Hermès Birkin Bag. I will never have thousands of dollars to spend on an accessory, no matter how timeless or magical it may be. However, I am definitely able to afford this I… Continue reading Accessories | SIMA
