Apparently the spring decided to take a little “intermission,” and allow winter to come back overnight with a fresh dumping of snow. I resolved to stay away from windows and remain in denial of this vicious attack on spring, and thankfully found that the sun had conquered …
On the Beach
I took a 2 hour beach vacation today because it was in the 70’s, which is my beach temperature threshold. It was more of a “lounge on the sand” kind of day than a swimming day with the clouds and wind, but considering it’s only mid-April, I …
Weekday Excursion
I took a trip to see the Yankee Candle Village store yesterday, and it was quite an experience! There were tons of beautiful displays, themed shops, and even a life-size Christmas village where it was magically snowing! My favorite spot was where they were doing demonstrations of …
Caramel and Pastel
I wouldn’t have thought mixing caramel colored leathers with pastels would look that great, but it was working for me today! We are closing in on Easter, so all the pastel colored pieces in my wardrobe are jumping out at me, but it’s good to break it …
A 50’s Feeling
I was definitely feeling a bit of a 50’s vibe today with my pearls, pony-tail, and pedal-pusher pants. The outfit was mostly inspired by the bag though. This cute little tote bag was a gift from my grandma, who passed it along thinking it looked like something I might find useful (she was …

Whether you make your own clothes or want to be a shopping expert, it’s helpful to know about different fabrics and how they “work.” Aside from color and pattern, different types of fabric can have totally different looks because of the way they drape or hang …
Coral Obsession
Coral is definitely my obsession this season, and considering how easy it is to find right now (hello Isabelle’s coral sweater), it’s probably not just me. It somehow seems to go with almost any other color, and it’s so fresh and cheerful, I just can’t get …
Optimistic Outfitting
Ok, so maybe the sunglasses were a little overkill, but I just really wanted it to feel like spring today. We’re getting there, but it was still a bit chilly, and the sun was not shining quite as brightly as I had hoped. I’m still …
Storybook Style
I feel like I could have just skipped right off the page of a children’s book with this outfit. I’m not surprised I feel this way, considering I am wearing the “Madeline” hat I made for my sister’s halloween costume, but I think the jumper and …
Just Kidding
I’m too gullible myself to justify playing a trick on you today, so I will just stay focused on keeping my defenses up and not falling for anything too absurd on this mischief-filled day. I will neither confirm nor deny that my choice to wear an Our …
