My high school self would have lost it over this skirt. My present day self has lost it over this skirt. I am always a fan of blue and white stripes, as underscored by content over the past year and a half. I can imagine myself uncovering it while shopping with mom and subsequently obsessing [...]
Month: July 2018
Burnin’ for Breakfast
Turn your sound up and listen to my favorite Blue Oyster Cult track. Don't miss the first few licks, before the cowbell kicks in, that is my favorite part of the song! Who else passed out extra early on July 4th? Show of hands please. Who else woke up with a minor headache, presumably triggered [...]
Don’t Book Back // Normally This Would Be Cause For Concern: Tales of Calamity and Unrelenting Awkwardness by @daniellefishel
last read... Whenever I spend vacation at my parents' house, I end up reading a few books. During the first two days, I read Aliza Licht's handbook for the ambitious professional. The second pair of days, I took out Danielle Fishel's memoir. A light read, I was initially dismayed that this book did not delve as [...]
Neutral Silk Hotel
I expressed my love for the Equipment silk blouse many a time in the past. Y'all, the line is truly fantastic and soon after I found how well the button up shirts fit the tall frame, I found that I had amassed a small collection in my closet. Whoops. This blouse is also silk, is [...]
Fighting the Office A/C
It is cliche to complain about the office air conditioning. Yet, until I brought a few layering options into my workplace, I was a machine at bitching at the constant frigid temperature. Recently my company's northeast branch relocated to a better grade office building and with that, we lost the ability to adjust the thermostat. [...]
Vegetable Lasagne // @2souschefs
"Continuing the theme from a few weeks ago, this recipe for vegetable lasagna is so good that you will not miss the less-than-healthy stuff. Perfect for using all of the summer vegetables in your garden, this is go-to recipe I developed last year over the hot, hot months. It is also great for cleaning out [...]
Bodysuit Up
I experience everlasting FOMO when it came to the bodysuit trend. Sure, I bought one from Long Tall Sally over a year ago but was dismayed when the medium fit in the width, but not the torso. I bought it on final sale. It ended up going the way of eBay. I died when I [...]
Too Clutch of a Good Thing
I initially spied the oyster version of this clutch years ago. As in, I was still living in DC when it came on my radar. Loved the clutch, was not so crazy about the nearly three hundred dollar price tag. That much for a satin clutch? The gang at Brooks Brothers must be out of [...]
Independence Daze
Did everyone have a fun and festive Fourth of July? I spent the holiday at my parents' house on the Gulf Coast. In years past, I consumed way too much food and drink. Emphasis on the drink, and more specifically, tequila. To the point that I jokingly mentioned following up my holiday with a stop [...]
Don’t Book Back // Leave Your Mark: Land Your Dream Job. Kill It in Your Career. Rock Social Media. by @AlizaLicht
last read... I began reading Leave Your Mark: Land Your Dream Job. Kill It in Your Career. Rock Social Media. by Aliza Licht the day before Independence Day on a series of two flights to our vacation destination, my parents' house. It is a yearly tradition that we visit the home I grew up during July [...]
Think Pink
I found this dress while perusing the sale section of one of my favorite designer's sites. (Guess the one!) After drooling over the rich-lady-goes-bohemian styles, I found this dress. The electric pink of this dress is what got me to to click on the link. The sixty percent reduction made me reconsider my 2018 Shopping Moratorium. [...]
Melon Deadly Sins
Right now I am into colored pants. Sign me up for neon colors any day, but especially in the summer and especially if they come in tall. These pants come in tall. I would wear these with my either my pale blue or lavender Equipment Signature Silk Shirt. There is a reason complementary colors tend to [...]
