• Off the shoulder in Barcelona

    travel style off the shoulder dress

    I wasn’t really on board with the off-the-shoulder look when it first started trending. I never thought it looked bad (although some stuff can be weird if it’s not made correctly). It’s just that I thought it was annoying to not be able to lift my arms and to have to wear a strapless bra. […]

  • Stripes and dots

    stripes and dots

    This work outfit is so easy I’m almost embarrassed to share it. But share it I shall. It will come as a surprise to absolutely no one that I love this dress. But it’s not just my stripes obsession (and the fact that it was on sale) that endeared me to it. The color combination […]

  • Birthday dress

    We haven’t come across a lot of super fancy restaurants in the San Diego area. You can wear jeans almost everywhere, and a casual sundress and sandals can go from the beach to dinner. But on my birthday, I wanted to be a bit dressier. I had gotten this dress at Francesca’s when Melissa was […]

  • Librarian chic

    I apologize for my absence lately; I’ve been working on some recipes and trying to get some new fashion posts ready to go, but I’ve gotten bogged down and haven’t had much time to post. However, since I actually ventured out of the house a few days this week, I snapped some photos using my […]

  • Cobalt and black

    Some people can wear all black, all the time, and look fabulous. I am not one of those people. It’s not just because I find black a little boring and like to spice things up with bright colors, either. It’s also because I don’t look good without some color near my face — which is […]

  • A day at the races

    I’ve never been to the Kentucky Derby. In fact, I had never been to any horse race at all (at least not that I can recall) until last month. That’s kind of weird, considering I am married to a man from Kentucky who has been to the Derby several times. But it seems like we […]

  • Fab Fave Friday: Red, white and blue

    I’m sorry I haven’t done Fab Fave Friday for a while, but, in keeping with my Fourth of July theme, I thought I’d share some of the red, white and blue items I’m coveting for summer! Clockwise(ish) from the top left: Polka-dot dress: Anthropologie. How cute is that little cutout in the front? Blue suede shoes: […]

  • Suit up

    Somehow, the weather in D.C. has gone straight from chilly and icky to humid and icky. These photos were obviously taken before it got really warm. A long-sleeved dress, tights, boots and a jacket aren’t really working right now. But I was originally supposed to be on TV that day, for work, so I wanted […]

  • Red and black

    As a Georgia Bulldog (and red lipstick fanatic), I am always on the lookout for cute red and black outfits. This dress was a no-brainer — the fit is totally flattering and I think it actually looks better with black tights and a black sweater than on its own. The weather has been all kinds […]

  • objects of desire

    I think we should all take a moment and appreciate the following: Hmmm… now how did that one get in there?
