I really didn’t plan it. When I packed this new dress from Kate Spade outlet, I didn’t know I was going to get Toby this Tommy Bahama shirt. But I did… and we matched perfectly. I adore this color, and it works really well on both of us. And when I tried on this dress and […]
Is it weird that I packed jeans and a tunic with sleeves for a vacation in Hawaii? I know most people would probably just throw a bunch of shorts, tank tops, sundresses and flip flops in a bag, but I love wearing white jeans in the summer. And, as you can probably tell by the […]
My good friend Melissa came to visit last month, and after the awesome experience we had last year at afternoon tea, we wanted to try a new place. We went to Shakespeare’s Corner Shoppe, which was lovely and very good (I especially loved the Welsh rarebit and the meringues with raspberry), but our service […]
Aloha, y’all! I’ve been on vacation for about two weeks now — first at home, hanging with my friend who came to visit, and then in Maui — and while I didn’t really mean to take a two-week blogging break, it just kind of happened. Sorry about that! The good news is that I’ve been […]
Dear jeans manufacturers: Y’all, I love jeans. I have dozens of pairs – from deepest indigo to perfectly distressed cornflower, straight leg to boyfriend cut – and I wear them constantly. I hate how my hands, legs and even shoes turn blue after wearing the darkest pairs, and I could do without this trend of […]
I’ve always been kind of terrible about remembering to bring and wear sunglasses, but since moving to sunny California, I’ve been making a conscious effort to wear them more often — especially when driving and at the beach. I have several pairs already, of course, but I’m always on the lookout for a new pair. […]
Hey, y’all! I’ve been traveling like crazy for the past week and a half-ish, and I haven’t had much time to breathe, let alone blog, sadly. But I’m finally home! And I wanted to talk about a fabulous date night Toby and I had a few weeks ago in La Jolla. We try to go […]
Although we’ve lived in California for almost a year, Toby and I still feel like newbies. Sure, we have our favorite restaurants and I’m on a first-name basis with employees at both local Kate Spade stores, but the only time we really attempted to “go out” was kind of a disaster. We are definitely not cool […]
Happy Friday! I was originally planning to give you a rundown of our favorite places to eat at Disneyland, but since tomorrow is the Kentucky Derby, I figured it made more sense to share my Derby-related favorites. First, you’re going to need a mint julep. Try the classic, Jessica’s pineapple mint julep, Southern Living’s bourbon smash or […]
I first happened upon a Madewell store when we moved to Annapolis in 2009. The brand was born in 1937, but closed in the 80s and was bought, overhauled and reintroduced by J.Crew in 2006. Annapolis was one of their first stores. Their focus is on denim — mainly skinny and super skinny jeans, lately […]
