If denim is the basis of all wardrobes, long denim (meaning skinny styles of 34 inch inseams or longer and all other cuts of 36 inch inseams or longer) is the holy grail for any lady topping six feet. The first pair of long denim that I ever scored was from Abercrombie & Fitch at the [...]
Thai Sweet Chili, Citrus, and Shrimp Lettuce Wraps // @2souschefs
"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 [...]
Lucindervention Loves Lucite Accessories
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: [...]
Tapping Into my Inner Trustafarian
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 [...]

Lands' End and Sophia Allport teamed up for a bee-utiful collaboration.
Shopping Moratorium 2019 | 126/239
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 [...]
Frock Star
Did anyone else catch this particular Lilly Pulitzer dress showing up on their Instagram feed on more than one lady's Easter post? No doubt it is a great dress, so great in fact, that I purchased the Goop version of the style just last year and when the collection went on markdown. Luckily the general public's aversion [...]
