Sartorial Sustainability Sunday: Brittany, founder of A Little Britt of Fun
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 [...]
Sartorial Sustainability Sunday: A Conversation with Jack L. Carlson of @RowingBlazers

Alex James posits that the solution to the fast fashion epidemic is closer than we think.
Sartorial Sustainability Sunday: Lela Orr of Project Runway, @designerlela
last week... Who else has been keeping up with the reboot of Project Runway on Bravo? I especially enjoy the addition of Christian Siriano and Karlie Kloss. The latter is easier to relate to than her predecessor; Heidi lost me circa 2009 when she stated that she found a little bit of an open back [...]

Pack a Bag: Airlie, Part II
read part I here... One of the strongest green initiatives of Airlie is the property's approach to sustainable agriculture. Not only is there on-site farm land but there is also a community garden. Inviting and integrating Airlie guests as well as locals, into the agriculture component not only facilitates time in the outdoors but also promotes healthy [...]
Pack a Bag: Airlie, Part I
Airlie hosted my husband and myself for the first night of our cross country road trip. Staying in Virginia was ideal, as we knew it was the farthest we felt comfortable driving from Philadelphia. The fact that it is a historic hotel is a cherry on the top of the sundae and I love me some [...]
Sartorial Sustainability Sunday: Hitting a Trifecta II
last week... As committed last month, I hit another trifecta. I wore the tennis sweater three times, three ways, over the course of the last quarter on the blog. Three pairs of shoes, three skirts, three sets of jewelry, and...the same pair of sunglasses. Give me a break. Wayfarers are classic. It was an item I [...]
Sartorial Sustainability Sunday: Attempting a (Temporary) Downsize

In a week's time, we will be on the road between Virginia and North Carolina, far away from the bed in which I am typing right now and far away from Philadelphia. We already started saying my [...]
