Y’all know I love tea, and my friend Isabel and I had been talking about trying Tea Upon Chatsworth, a tea room in Point Loma. So when my friend Melissa came to visit from Toronto, we thought it was the perfect time to check it out. The tea room was adorable, and they encourage […]
I have this problem right now where I feel like all my clothes are either really casual or dressy. I don’t really have a lot of in-between. But I wanted to wear something other than jeans or a bathing suit coverup for dinner on Saturday with Toby, so I thought this dress that I picked […]
Packing for a long trip is a challenge. You don’t want your bag to weigh 100 pounds, but if you’re like me, you also don’t want to have to wear the same outfit three times in a week. That’s where the wardrobe workhorses come in: dark jeans, nude heels, leopard flats, a navy blazer. But […]
I’m finally back from Killeen! I stayed so much longer than I had planned that I actually had to go buy new clothes… and then do laundry and get things dry cleaned. It was a bit crazy. But I do have some more weird photos of myself (and one of the gorgeous Central Texas sunrise) […]
Since I’ve been staying in a hotel by myself and working long hours, I haven’t really had a chance to take good photos of my outfits. But I did want to share a few pictures I took to give you an idea of the kinds of things I packed. Please excuse the horrible lighting in […]
You may recall my recent post about tea at the Willard. It was lovely, but I wanted to try at least one other place for tea in Washington before we moved, and Refinery29 happened to have a well-timed slideshow of afternoon tea options right before Toby’s mom came to visit us there. We decided to […]
I’ve never been to the Kentucky Derby. In fact, I had never been to any horse race at all (at least not that I can recall) until last month. That’s kind of weird, considering I am married to a man from Kentucky who has been to the Derby several times. But it seems like we […]
Maybe it’s all those bedazzled dance costumes I rocked growing up, but I’m a sucker for sequins. Unfortunately, they don’t work for every occasion (say, the office). But recently I’ve seen a lot of sparkly pieces available that you can wear during the day (outside the office) — especially when dressed down with casual jeans […]
I love Disney movies, and I adore Disneyland and Disneyworld. So you can imagine how excited I was when I realized we now live only about an hour from Disneyland — and that we could go there to celebrate my birthday. And yes, I was turning 33, not 13. But, whatever. The Minnie Mouse […]
My middle school’s mascot was the Aztec, and since I was a middle-school cheerleader, I thought maybe I should include a cheer to go along with this Aztec-print dress. But… all of our cheers were pretty generic. Sorry. This dress is definitely not generic — I got it at a really cute boutique in Florida, […]
