What's up with those "looks"?

Ahh, shopstyle!

The birth of a blog.

"You should write a blog about your life."

"Who would want to read that?"

"Lots of other homemakers and fabulous fashionistas."

"Hmm... ya think?"

"Totally."

And so it was born. This blog will be about my adventures with Mr. X; my fabulous husband, and what I wear along the way. As well as my trials and tribulations being a homemaker in a modern world. I'll dish on the latest trends in fashion, the most delish recipies, the best cleaning products, anything and everything a homemaker/fashionista/socialite will ever need to know. You too can be a CoutureHousewife!
