• Weekend bling

    There’s something about baseball-style shirts that I have never been able to resist. I had a white and pale yellow one from Gap when I was in high school, and I wore that thing into the ground. So, obviously I was excited when I noticed the style is coming back in vogue — so I […]

  • Buffalo plaid and sparkles

    Wearing jeans to work is a tricky business. You don’t want them too tight or too casual, but they still need to fit reasonably well and be comfortable, or what’s the point? I actually got these jeans for my trip to Afghanistan. They’re a little mom-tastic in that the waistband comes up past my belly […]

  • Finding the perfect fit

    Guys, stop reading now. It’s about to get super girly up in here, and you don’t want to hear about it. Trust me. Ladies… we’re going to talk about bras. I’m sure you’ve read the statistics. Something like 300 percent women are wearing the wrong size bra. Whatever. But, even if you’ve been measured, you […]

  • Spring floral

    While it is technically spring in the northern hemisphere, I know many of you are not experiencing the most spring-like temperatures. It’s been mainly sunny around here, with a few rainy, windy patches, but it’s also been cool during the day and downright chilly at night. The day I took these photos started off gray […]

  • A very Disney weekend

    Who’s the leader of the club that’s made for you and me? M-I-C-K-E-Y  M-O-U-S-E! If you follow me on Instagram, you may have noticed that Toby and I went to Disneyland last weekend. We’re a little obsessed.   We had been wanting to go for a weekend since I got back from Afghanistan, but rain […]

  • 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 […]

  • St. Patrick’s Day marshmallows

    Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Are you decked out in green? Is there corned beef and cabbage cooking in your slow cooker? Are you drinking Guinness for breakfast? I am wearing green, of course, but there will be no Irish food or beer in our house tonight (unless a leprechaun brings it here). But, I did […]

  • Gray and pink

    While the rest of the country has been slammed with record amounts of snow and teeth-chatteringly low temperatures, Southern California has been sunny and beautiful. Then, it rained. And people freaked OUT. I did not freak out, but I did use the opportunity to wear my pirate galoshes. I got them for about $20 a […]

  • What I wore in Afghanistan

    I didn’t really take any “outfit photos” in Afghanistan, because, well… that would have been kinda weird. I also didn’t bring any actual cute outfits. But, because this is at least partially a fashion blog, I thought I should show you at least a little of what I wore. I got some not-too-tight jeans at […]

  • What I ate in Afghanistan

    Hey y’all! I’m finally back in California, and while I’m still pretty jet lagged, I wanted to share some of my photos with you! Today, I thought I’d share some of my food photos from Afghanistan, since we like to talk about food here. First, I need to talk about the British chow hall at […]
