Do you guys know what time it is? Yup, it's time for the Housing Works Buy the Bag sale. If you're not familiar with Housing Works, it's a chain of thrift stores in NYC and if you're not familiar with the Buy the Bag warehouse sale, then you're missing out.The $25 {it used to be 20 bucks} all-you-can-stuff-in-a-bag is hands down my favorite event.

You guys remember when I purchased this vintage dress from the Salvation Army? It was initially bought for my LA trip to see a taping of Oprah's final post Oscar show.

My schedule can be unpredictable but there are two things in life that are {usually} guaranteed on a Sunday: church and brunch. A relaxing brunch is the perfect way to unwind before beginning another work week.

This week I caught up with my friend Johara from Luvin' My Curves and we decided to hit up Kitchenette in Tribeca. The restaurant's known for its down home cooking.I wanted a ladylike frock that was church appropriate but also comfy for the near 90 degree temps, so rocked the little white dress I recently picked up from the Salvation Army.But first, let's talk about the food, which was beyond amazing.
