We went from a sunny 70 degrees to 23 degrees in just a few hours yesterday… and somehow managed to run 6.2 miles in the snow this morning without slipping and falling. And I got to wear my tutu! I got some compliments on the tutu while I was running, and while it did […]
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 […]
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, […]
Hey y’all! We’re at Disneyland today, recovering from the Marine Corps ball. I’ll have more photos from the ball tomorrow, but I wanted to make sure everyone was aware of the new, awesome web series about the New York City Ballet, produced by Sarah Jessica Parker. It’s called city.ballet. and I can’t stop watching it! […]
As I mentioned, we went to Kentucky this past weekend for Toby’s homecoming. It was actually the first time I’ve seen his alma mater — we’ve been wanting to go, but hadn’t been able to until this year, when one of his good friends was being inducted into Centre’s athletic hall of fame. I was […]
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 […]
If you’ve been near just about any body of water in the United States in the past year or two, you’ve probably seen people standing on boards, paddling around. I’m not sure when it became a thing, but I saw tons of people doing it in Hawaii last year and it’s hugely popular in the […]
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, […]
Are you a lipstick girl? I feel like I’ve recently heard or read a lot of people saying they don’t like lipstick, but I don’t get it. I’ve loved lipstick since I was a little girl, and while I keep trying lipgloss… I always come back to lipstick (or maybe gloss on top of lipstick). […]
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 […]
