What can I say about the benefits of having a basic black dress…a LOT actually.

However, as you can see with yet another black dress post, I can’t stress enough how this item… Continue reading Always Bet On Black
Chicken parmesan is one of my favorite meals to make. I started making my version of chicken parmesan (shown below) over 10 years ago when a good friend of mine made it for me.

Shoes: Nine West, Photo: Ashley Grant/Instagram:@nanneygrant How do I love shoes…let me count the ways. I can’t say that I’ve always been in love with shoes.
