• Red and black

    As a Georgia Bulldog (and red lipstick fanatic), I am always on the lookout for cute red and black outfits. This dress was a no-brainer — the fit is totally flattering and I think it actually looks better with black tights and a black sweater than on its own. The weather has been all kinds […]

  • Colorblock

    Some days, I just don’t have enough time to think about what to wear. That usually means throwing on a dress and cardigan and running out the door. This cardigan is particularly good for those days, though, because it does the colorblocking for you. No need to stand in front of the closet, plotting color […]

  • Mother’s Day

    When I was a baby, my mom would take me to the mall in my stroller every day. All of the salesgirls knew us. I’m sure that contributed to my love of shopping, but it was probably more the fact that everything my mom wears (and buys for me) is fabulous. That and all the […]

  • Butterflies and braids

    For my 16th birthday, I got an awesome butterfly necklace from Delia*s. Man, I loved that necklace. It was an embroidered butterfly on this black rubber-looking base, with a metal bead chain. I wore it constantly (including in my senior portraits), until it disappeared. My mom probably got sick of me wearing it and threw […]

  • Fab Fave Friday – Stella and Dot

    I love sparkle, and I’m obsessed with fun bracelets and statement necklaces. But I don’t like having to pay a ton for jewelry that I’m unlikely to wear all the time. So when I went to my first Stella & Dot party, I was pleasantly surprised at the prices — not as cheap as, say, […]

  • Purple rain

    Today was one of those dreary, gray days that isn’t actually super rainy but just feels sort of blah. I did bust out a lot of gray, but I wanted to brighten things up a bit with a purple dress. And I needed something semi-warm, since it was a bit chilly. Please excuse the random […]

  • Blog launch party!

    I was super excited to launch this blog, so I decided to celebrate with a party! And yes, I know I’m a huge dork. Whatever. I was running around like a crazy person and didn’t take any group photos until after a lot of people had left, sadly. But I think (and hope) everyone had […]

  • Anchors and dots

    Even though I went to Georgia and will always root for the Bulldogs, I felt like I had to become a Navy fan when we moved to Annapolis a few years ago and lived at the Naval Academy. We had season tickets our first year, and then Toby was a company officer at the academy […]

  • Work clothes

    It can be really, really hard to get dressed for work in the morning. Especially for women. I know I am almost constantly trying to figure out what is appropriate and professional and what is not, and dress codes like “business casual” or “business dress” don’t help. Many of the places I’ve worked have been […]

  • Eastergrams

    I hope y’all enjoyed your weekend! We went to Ft. Thomas, Kentucky, where I managed to fall while running and bruise/scrape the heck out of my knee on Saturday morning… which resulted in me hobbling around the church for the baptism of Toby’s cousin’s baby girl. I also forgot my camera battery for the baptism, […]
