We had decided early on that we wanted to have Arabella baptized at Toby’s church in Kentucky, so when we decided we were going to go to Kentucky for Thanksgiving, it seemed like the perfect time. My family was able to come, too, which was awesome because we were all together for the ceremony. Arabella […]
Not that I need a reason to wear polka dots, but really, what better occasion is there for a swingy polka dot dress than a flamenco show in Spain? I had gotten this super cute dotted dress a few months before I went to Barcelona last year, but I hadn’t had the chance to wear […]
Perhaps it’s all the ballet classes I took as a child, but pink and black is my favorite color combination. So when I was lucky enough to find this super neon pink cashmere sweater on sale at a Lilly Pulitzer store in Hilton Head, I immediately paired it with a black-and-white striped top and so-dark-they’re-almost-black […]
Aloha! I wanted to introduce a series of Maui-themed posts with this super tropical outfit that I wore out to dinner in Ka’anapali Beach. Sadly, we are now in Alexandria, Va., and not in Hawaii, but I’m excited to relive our vacation! These photos were taken the night of our first full day in Maui. […]
We found out a few weeks ago that after only two years in Carlsbad, we’re moving back to DC. Sad trombone. We’ve been trying to hit all our favorite spots before we go, so I made Toby go to the zoo with me again… and, when we were in Virginia looking for a place to live, […]
I’ve been traveling a lot for work in the past few weeks, and while I haven’t been able to take normal outfit photos from lots of angles, I wanted to share some of the things I’ve been wearing with you. After all, the whole reason I started posting outfit photos in the first place was to show […]
The other day, my friend Isabel sent me a link to a Harper’s Bazaar story by a woman who wears the same thing to work every day to reduce stress in her life. It’s an interesting concept, and I can certainly understand why it would be appealing. I can’t even tell you the number of […]
Today, I want to talk about belts and mouse ears. Toby and I had been planning to go to Disneyland for Valentine’s Day, but a bunch of work things came up, and we weren’t able to go. Work (his and mine) kept getting in the way every weekend since, but we finally made it to see […]
I am a total Anglophile, and I love Boden. So when I saw this sweater printed with tiny Queen’s Guard soldiers, I knew I had to have it. I was excited to be able to wear it at Thanksgiving and Christmas — when we went to places that are legitimately cold — but it’s the […]
November 10 was the 239th birthday of the Marine Corps, and this year we celebrated it two Fridays in a row. The Marine Corps ball is kind of a big deal to Toby and I, since we were set up 10 years ago (eek!) to go to the 229th birthday ball together. Plus, it is […]
