last... After the indulgence from two week's ago, no shopping for me this past week.
Sartorial Sustainability Sunday: Stories from the Past Month
last week... I haven't posted a round up of sustainability in style news pieces in nearly a month and with Earth Day in our rear view mirror, now its a fantastic time for the check in. "Reformation Launches Sustainable Shoe Collection with 11 Chic Summer Styles" by Brittany Talerico via People, May 14, 2019, accessed [...]
Loafer the Moon
I am so into loafers right now. Like blazers, equestrian style, and cricket sweaters, they are a decidedly preppy staple, so the traditional ones will never go out of style. I cannot speak to the Gucci furry, embroidered loafers, but count me in for the ones with the classic shape and horse bit detail. Penny [...]
IPA Mustard Dip // @2souschefs
"On a recent weekend, we were invited to a potluck party to celebrate four birthdays in the month of May. The main dishes and veggie sides were already spoken for by other guests, so we were asked to bring something along the lines of an hor d’ourves. Work and other commitments prevented us from pulling [...]
In the Trenches
Growing up, the trench coat was an item that I frequently saw on television and movies as part of characters' on-screen closets.: Ally McBean, Charlotte York, Miranda Hobbes, and the entire cast of characters on the West Wing. It was always an article of clothing that I imagined I would graduate to wearing once graduating [...]
Rugby + Tweed
The grass is always green on the other side. I do not think that this cliche applies to anything more than seasons. When it is 90 degrees in summer, I cannot wait for winter layers. When it is winter, I cannot wait to shed the black opaque tights. Spring never seems long enough but the [...]
Shopping Moratorium 2019 | 119/245
last... Last week I shopped in preparation for my California vacation. My best friend from graduate school was going to be in Los Angeles for a work conference and had a trip to Napa for Memorial Day planned, so we decided that it was best that he stay on the west coast for the week [...]
Sartorial Sustainability Sunday: Brittany, founder of A Little Britt of Fun
last week... Within the first few months of 2019, I found blogger Brittany at A Little Britt of Fun. Lindsay of A Cozy Stylist tweeted about one of Brittany's blog posts about living more sustainable, more specifically about 2019: The Year of Less. I immediately devoured the blog post and followed Brittany across social media. We discussed [...]
Wine and Accessories
Winter is exclusively for wearing black and if we are being adventurous, maybe even charcoal gray. Spring is for wearing pastels. Summer is for wearing brights. Why do you think that Lilly Pulitzer does gangbusters from Easter to Labor Day? We always want what we cannot have. Lately, all I want is pumpkin orange, hunter green, [...]
Soft Shell Po Boy // @2souschefs
"As a traditional southern girl, I will say my favorite homemade condiment of them all is a decadent remoulade. I will put remoulade on anything and everything. This recipe originated from my old sous chef from California and friend of ten years, Ken Naron. He, being from Mississippi as well, makes the best remoulade around. [...]

Sartorial Sustainability Sunday: A Conversation with Jack L. Carlson of @RowingBlazers
last week... Recently I discovered the Rowing Blazers End-of-the-Day Rugbies. I was immediately impressed with the resourcefulness and ingenuity of the brand. I reached out to the founder, Jack Carlson, to get his insight on sustainability and social responsibility. L - For those who do not know, you have a Ph.D. in Archaeology from Oxford. [...]
