Part 2 of How to Stay Organized! While Staying in Style, of Course…

January 14th // Comment Here

Let the simplifying continue! I was too geared up to stop after last weeks post on clearing the clutter around my house. It really feels amazing to have everything where it belongs, and on that note I decided my day-to-day life could use a little more streamlining as well. Between meetings and the disarray that happens in my handbag, I could really use it. Here are a few of the tools I’ve found to help me get my life in tip-top, Mary Poppins-inspired order.

I would be lost without my planner! This one is small enough that it doesn’t add any extra bulk to my bag.

My old cosmetic case was in pretty sad shape. This one couldn’t be cuter. Now, I just have to do a better job of editing how much I put in it.

The app I can’t live without! It helps me prioritize my schedule according to tasks. But by far the coolest aspect is its ability to translate spoken word to text.

Which “White Christmas” Do You Like Best?

December 24th // 1 Comment

Holiday fun fact: Bing Crosby’s version of “White Christmas” (the classic Irving Berlin song) is the best-selling single of all time. Do you agree, or do you think that Clyde McPhatter and the Drifters, Il Divo or Taylor Swift does it better? (Man, it seems sacrilegious but I might have to go with Clyde.) Vote now!

Here’s My Holiday Playlist! What’s On Yours?

December 16th // 7 Comments

I never get tired of hearing holiday music – it instantly lifts my spirits! I decided to poll a few of my music-obsessed friends to find out the songs they can’t live without around the holidays. What they gave me were some true classics, some utterly offbeat and amazing singles, and one silly hit:

Whitney

The Christmas Waltz – Frank Sinatra

The Christmas Song – Nat “King” Cole

Fairytale of New York – the Pogues, featuring Kirsty McColl

Christmas in Hollis – Run-DMC

Blue Christmas – Johnny Cash

(Christmas) Babe Please Come Home – Mariah Carey

Santa Claus is Coming to Town – The Supremes

Hannukah Song – Adam Sandler

Have yourself a Merry Little Christmas – Colbie Caillat

A Snowflake Fell (and it felt like a kiss) – Glasvegas

We wish you a merry Christmas – Weezer

Winter Wonderland – Tony Bennett

Now, your turn: What would you add to the mix?

Lots of love,

Loren
