I am wearing more white this summer than the one prior to my wedding.

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 [...]
sīrsakar 2019
Within the last two weeks, retailers have released seersucker styles. I do not know about you, but this is the only evidence I need that spring is about to turn and after a long winter spent wearing black opaque tights, we can sport the seasonal summer fabric. I wrote about Capitol Hill's seersucker Thursdays last [...]
Stay Fair Isle Longer
Y'all last Saturday in Philadelphia was freezing. Philadelphia phreezing. Filiadelphia freezing? Let's just say it was epically cold. I had an appointment in Center City early in the am and by early I mean, 9:30. The week prior was especially tough. Monday I had a meeting with a potential client on site and thanks to [...]
Wooded Whiskey
Several weekends ago my husband had to be out of the country for work. Naturally, I called Jamie to see if he wanted to visit Philadelphia for the weekend. Affirmative. We had one of the best weekends in recent memory, rivaled only by the one in which we headed out to the woods, drank whiskey, and [...]
Tartan Footprint
Tartan is so hot right now. In holiday seasons past, I had to hunt down classic tartan pieces. Not so in 2018. Every brand and it's sister brand has a variety of tartan pieces and I. AM. HERE FOR IT! The plaid has become so common that brands are making tartan pieces in tall. We are [...]
Historic Bridges of the MidAtlantic: Thomas Mill Bridge
Last weekend the husband and I wandered out on the Fairmount Park and along our walk, we encountered the Thomas Mill Bridge. I happen to love a good historic structure, bridges included. Did you know that along with HABS (Historic American Building Survey) and HALS (Historic American Landscape Survey), the National Park Service also administers [...]
The Basic Stripe
I recall this dress was released last autumn. I know for a fact that it never popped up in the tall section of the brand website until about four months after it became available. Only to be found in the regular length section of the website, once clicked on the item link, one would notice [...]
Print’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia
Early last Sunday morning, I went jogging on the Delaware River Waterfront. Not out of the ordinary for me as I have done it many times before. I was in the midst of listening to my cool down playlist and enjoying my cool down walk after sweating it out for a few miles. Upon walking [...]
Dress is More
I was so excited to receive the new floral Meghan Evans dress in the mail last week. I love the black scuba fabric dress from last fall - as did my 6'-3" sister, when she borrowed it for a going away party. She loved it so much, I still have not gotten it back and it [...]
Stripe Dream
I cannot get enough seersucker. Perhaps it is for the same reasons I love madras, white denim, and Nantucket reds: rules dictate that one can only wear these traditional style staples from Memorial Day to Labor Day, no matter the climate. Since the seasons restrict the opportunity to break out summer's best, I never feel [...]
