Once today is over (Feb 14th // Valentine’s Day), I will have officially made it through every holiday throughout this first year of being single. Hallelujah!! Granted, considering the nature of the holiday, this one may the be the toughest one yet. My friends and I planned ahead – “Galentine’s” Day brunch (aka booze) and…
#wcw : amanda wilens // feed me with amanda
I’m a hardcore advocate for my girl crushes and, with that being said, I’ve decided to launch a new feature to Sparkles and Stilettos : a somewhat weekly feature where I try and showcase a different #WCW (Woman Crush Wednesday). Let it be known – these are girls who I know and who I admire.…
on filling the void
It’s finally the holiday season and I find myself Srooge-ing tremendously hard this year.

No, I don’t have an excessively tall/hunky/rich/ DJ on my arm – but I’ve been consistently finding myself in situations lately where I have to keep reminding myself to “Shake It Off”. I’ve been writing this post in my head for like, two weeks now.…
