I’ve been swamped and so busy lately…with a new job! I really didn’t plan to add on a job as I felt complete with my blogging, but I am so glad I did – I was shopping in J. Crew about a month ago when the manager approached me admiring my outfit.… Read more
Like the rest of the world I was (and still am) completely shocked and horrified by the events that occurred in Paris this past weekend. I thought at first I shouldn’t say anything on here, but this blog has always been about sharing my feelings and thoughts on life, love, travel and style.… Read more
It’s blanket scarf season again, and while I won’t be wearing mine (I own at least 5!) until we travel up north for the holidays I can’t help but play with different ways to style mine once I can! As temperatures drop and fall creeps along with hints of winter, a blanket scarf is the perfect thing to wrap yourself up in as you crave cozy fabrics and warmth, while also looking fashionable.… Read more
I spotted this plaid popover on J. Crew Factory recently and adored the styled look of casual plaid with skinny jeans and strappy heels. The mix of comfort with sexy is one of my favorite looks and this version is styled to perfection.… Read more
This is my first fall without crunchy leaves falling as a crisp cold air surrounds me and while I was talking to a friend yesterday I realized that I miss fall. A lot. I love where we live, I love our home and the lifestyle we live because we are in the warmth.… Read more
At the top of my wishlist when The Hubs and I planned our honeymoon in Europe was to spend the fall in Paris. It held such allure for me as I imagined the leaves changing color, the parks in all their fall-colored glory, the cool breeze wafting across the Seine, feeling like a native in my adopted city sans the tourists and the hot chocolates from Angelina’s that we could sip after we sat in those legendary those green chairs in the Jardin des Tuileries.… Read more
I’ve been in love with Paris since I was a little girl and have always wanted to speak the language and live the Parisian life. When The Hubs surprised me with our first trip to Paris I diligently studied up on key words, phrases and sentences.… Read more
I started out this Halloween weekend with a themed Starbucks vampire-inspired frappuccino made up of white mocha and raspberry. I love a theme and this drink combo was a win. This Halloween is the first holiday The Hubs and I have had in our first home and I was excited, but also a little worried: I normally spend Halloween night with my cousins helping them with their makeup and then going with as they trick-or-treat, so I worried I would miss that (FOMO always gets me) too much to fully enjoy our first Halloween in our first home, but The Hubs went above and beyond to make sure I had a fun Halloween with just the two of us.… Read more
If you’re anything like me you still haven’t figured out what to wear for Halloween. It’s pretty typical of me to wait until the last minute to figure out my Halloween idea. I have a tendency to think there is plenty of time left…and now it’s just two days before Halloween!… Read more
The temperatures shift so gradually here that I’m just barely integrating my favorite fall colors and fabrics into my day-to-day wardrobe, but I have been switching my accessories into a more “fall” feel and have added two new favorite accessories; the Celine sunglasses I have coveted for months (and months!) and this ridiculously cute purse charm I spotted at Kate Spade over the weekend.… Read more
