I'm just mad about Saffron. Saffron's mad about me.

One Foot in the Wave
These are some of the last photos we took on a walk after our last brunch in Monterey. I cannot believe how quickly the time passed. I felt beyond lucky to not only have spent three months out west with the husband, but also to have the privilege of taking a break from work so [...]
A Midsummer White Dream
I am wearing more white this summer than the one prior to my wedding.
Freedom of Beach
Our time in Monterey is coming to an end and we are making the most of our last three weeks on the peninsula. We are looking forward to next cross country road trip and our subsequent relocation to Washington DC. I spent the Obama years going to graduate school within the Beltway and subsequently working [...]
Pack a Bag: Hotel Boulderado, Part II
for Part I... Hotel Boulderado was the ideal place to take a eighteen hour pit stop while we were in Colorado. The hotel historian, Laurel, gave us a tour of the property and with that, copious insight on the history of the hotel. The historic plans of the residential floors were slightly different than the floor [...]
A Beautiful Day for Croquet
Vintage Lilly strikes again!
Pack a Bag: Hotel Boulderado, Part I
The husband and I stayed at Hotel Boulderado in Boulder, Colorado on our east bound cross country roadtrip. In the early twentieth century, citizens of the town imagined Boulder as the Athens of the west. In true Field of Dreams fashion, in order to bring tourism to Boulder, eventual shareholders collaborated to build a luxury [...]
Beach Therapy
The husband and I are making the most out of our last days on the Monterey. Between packing up our home (even though it was only for three months, anywhere feels like home when my husband is there), we have a bucket list of items to do prior to leaving the peninsula next week, including [...]
THIS IS NOT A DRILL: Lilly Pulitzer for the Tall Girl
Lilly Pulitzer released long length sundresses and shorts for the tall and taller.
Frock On!
I broke the seersucker rule left and right this year. I think it is a consequence of moving to the west coast where rules are a little more relaxed and weather is a little warmer. At 6'-2", I was a bit concerned that this frock would not be long enough to wear without feeling self [...]
Sideways
While Jamie and I were in Palm Springs, I found the most fantastic vintage store adjacent to the place we had Sunday brunch. The Frippery is a vintage lover's gold mine. Post-brunch, I dragged Jamie and my maid of honor who was also in Palm Springs, in the store. While Jamie went out on a mission [...]
Tanks a Lot
About three weeks ago, I was introduced to Figleaves. It seems that the online retailer also has a private label of which offers - drumroll s'il vous plaît - long torso tank suits. I am thirty-something and feel as though I have aged out of the two piece swimsuit market. Sidebar: My husband and Jamie were making fun [...]
