With all the glitter, bright colors, leopard print, full skirts, polka dots, embellished sweaters and excessive use of the color pink, I sometimes think the designers at Kate Spade New York can read my mind. Going into one of their stores is like sensory overload in the best way possible, and it’s very, very dangerous […]
As I’m sure you’ve noticed, I love ballet and ballerina style. So I was super excited when I got an email from Elle magazine with a link to a slideshow of 15 ballet-inspired pieces to wear now. Unfortunately, though, all the pieces are crazy expensive — a few were several thousand dollars. And while most […]
Two hundred and thirty-eight years ago today, the Second Continental Congress passed a resolution to establish the Continental Marines. According to Marine Corps lore, they conducted their first enlistment drive in a bar in Philadelphia, Tun Tavern. Nowadays, the Marines celebrate their birthday with ceremonies, cake (and usually beer) all over the world — and, […]
Football was a big deal at my first high school — everyone went to the games, and the players were like celebrities. But even though I wore dresses and heels to school occasionally, Clueless-style, I don’t think I ever wore something like that to a football game. Football-watching attire is jeans and a sweatshirt, right? […]
Happy Monday, y’all! We got lucky the other day when we were driving from Northern Kentucky down to Danville for Toby’s homecoming — it was an absolutely perfect day. So we decided to stop near Keeneland and take some photos with the horses. Obviously I was dressed pretty casually — we had brunch at Toby’s […]
Happy Dia de los Muertos! I hope you are celebrating the lives of your loved ones today. We are in Kentucky right now, but we went to a Dia de los Muertos festival in Oceanside last weekend. It was extremely crowded, but really interesting. Plus, we got to explore the gorgeous San Luis Rey mission, […]
Dress codes are so easy for men. Whether it’s a suit, a sport coat, a tie or jeans, it’s always spelled out for them. That’s not to say that men always dress appropriately for work. I’m not sure which is worse: The fact that the coordinator for my post-college internship remembered, months later, that one […]
We have discovered a lot of fun and beautiful places since we’ve moved here, but one of my favorites so far is San Clemente. Several people actually told us we should look for houses in San Clemente, because it’s just north of the base and the town is so cute. But it’s a bit far […]
Growing up in Phoenix, it was normal for the weather to be warm — like, shorts and tank tops warm — until about Halloween. And Georgia and South Carolina don’t exactly get freezing cold at the end of September, either. But it’s still a little weird for me to see other bloggers posting autumnal outfits […]
Coats can be kind of a pain. You need one to go with everything, which is basically impossible for one garment. And since your coat may be the only item most people see you in, you want it to be cute. I tend to go a bit overboard with coats (and everything, if we’re being […]
