"Last year Andi perfected a recipe for chicken taco lettuce cups. It is a dinner that has become so desired by myself that I ask for it at least once a week when we do our weekly dinner menu planning. After my latest attempt to get this into our weekly dinner menu was denied, I [...]
I distinctly recall the first time I noticed lucite accessories within the pages of a glossy. The November of 2001 I had gotten my little paws on an issue of Cosmopolitan. The cover tag line, "is stress making you bitchy" really sold me on the issue that I procured at the local KMart. (Spoiler alert: [...]
Concert festivals are not a new thing. There was Woodstock, Altamont (looking at you, Hell's Angels), Live Aid, Lollapalooza, Lillith Fair (#tbt amirite?), Warped Tour, and my favorites: Bonnaroo and Jazz Fest. Jazz Fest walked so Coachella could run. My upper years of undergrad I ran with a rather trustafarian crowd. A friend and I [...]
last... After the indulgence from two week's ago, no shopping for me this past week.
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 [...]
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 [...]
"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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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, [...]
