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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
