What is your favorite reason to be a blogger?

I love how it allows me to be creative & branch out from my everyday life. It has allowed me to take more risks, whether it is attending events where I know no one or trying a new trend that I would never have had the guts to try. I'm an introvert so putting myself out there has been a challenge & has allowed me to grow more than I ever thought it would!

What can we expect from The Yuppie Files in the next coming months?

Lots of outfit posts! Plus I have a couple of trips & DC excursions that I would like to cover. I think its important to highlight your hometown & now that the craziness of the holidays are over, I will have more time to go explore!

Who are your Fashion/Makeup Icons?

I am all about classic style with a few trends sprinkled in, so I love the timelessness of Audrey Hepburn & Grace Kelly. I also love the everyday looks of relatable stars like Reese Witherspoon & Emma Stone, plus stylish bloggers like Julia Engel of Gal Meets Glam & Blair Eadie of Atlantic Pacific.

If you could live anywhere in the world where would you be and why?

I'd live in Paris in a heartbeat. I love everything about that city! The fashion & culture is so inspiring, plus you would never get tired of exploring all the streets. The idea of stopping by a bakery on your way home from work for some fresh bread or spending hours at a cafe just seems like heaven. Plus, I'm a social studies teacher so am in love with the rich history of France.

Any CapFABB blogs- we need to support each other!

Wanna Meet Me??

Guess what?!?!  I'm finally going to be able to make it to a CapFABB meet up.  What is CapFABB??  It stands for Capital Fashion and Beauty Bloggers!  It is a group of bloggers who are based in the DC capital area (DC, MD, & VA).  Every month a meetup is scheduled for us bloggers to get together and mingle with each other.  I have yet, to be able to go, quite frankly I am just to damn busy.  But this weekend I am making a concerted effort to make it!  Especially because CapFABB has teamed up with All Access: Fashion (AAF) to create a special blogger lounge where you can meet me and other area bloggers!

ALL ACCESS: Fashion presented by Tysons Galleria is a three day fashion and trend event that will allow guests to witness the excitement and energy of the international collections at Tysons Galleria, shop the best of the season, meet style icons and experience the frenzy usually reserved for fashion insiders.
For more information about AAF visit their site here.


I will be there Saturday afternoon at the Tysons Galleria in center court!  Hope to meet you there!

High Five For Friday!

YAY!! We totally made it to another Friday!! WHOOP!! WHOOP!!  {read that in a valley girl type voice, it sounds so much more awesome that way...kay?}

Here are my highlights of the week!

1.  Pizza & Beer while mixing cheer music and blogging....sometimes you just need to have one of those nights.

2.  A new recipe I tried out...Chicken Italiana and it was delish, super easy to make, and extremely healthy!  Comment if you want to see it on Tutorial Tuesday!

3.  My sisters new pet, a bearded dragon. I find it to be gross and ugly but she loves it and I was curious...just note I refused did not touch it (I'm a wimp...sue me!)

4.  There use to be a deck here!  Remember when I told you on Motivational Monday that there was something my husband & I were working on?  Well, this is my 2012 revolution, to rediscover my backyard! We are putting in a fence, patio, garden, the whole nine yards! Don't worry, I will blog about it!

5.  Registered for my very first CapFABB Meet Up!  Details coming soon on how you can meet me!
