Sometimes, you just need some animal print in your life. And sometimes you wear more animal print than is totally necessary because your beige heels are in the back of your husband’s car, which is 30 minutes away. Or maybe that’s just me. I got this jacket a few years ago at LOFT, and it […]
I love bows — whether they’re functional or not. And sometimes, I tend to go a bit overboard. Take this outfit, for instance. The dress is printed with bows, the bag has a bow-like situation on it and the shoes are held on with bows. I call those my tweed tap shoes. A former boss […]
Sunday was our sixth wedding anniversary. We’ve done a lot since then — both of us have gone to Afghanistan (although Toby was there for almost a year, and I was just there two weeks), we’ve gotten master’s degrees (and Toby’s about to get his second), we’ve moved twice and are getting ready to move […]
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 […]
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 […]
Some days, I just don’t have enough time to think about what to wear. That usually means throwing on a dress and cardigan and running out the door. This cardigan is particularly good for those days, though, because it does the colorblocking for you. No need to stand in front of the closet, plotting color […]
When I was a baby, my mom would take me to the mall in my stroller every day. All of the salesgirls knew us. I’m sure that contributed to my love of shopping, but it was probably more the fact that everything my mom wears (and buys for me) is fabulous. That and all the […]
For my 16th birthday, I got an awesome butterfly necklace from Delia*s. Man, I loved that necklace. It was an embroidered butterfly on this black rubber-looking base, with a metal bead chain. I wore it constantly (including in my senior portraits), until it disappeared. My mom probably got sick of me wearing it and threw […]
I love sparkle, and I’m obsessed with fun bracelets and statement necklaces. But I don’t like having to pay a ton for jewelry that I’m unlikely to wear all the time. So when I went to my first Stella & Dot party, I was pleasantly surprised at the prices — not as cheap as, say, […]
Today was one of those dreary, gray days that isn’t actually super rainy but just feels sort of blah. I did bust out a lot of gray, but I wanted to brighten things up a bit with a purple dress. And I needed something semi-warm, since it was a bit chilly. Please excuse the random […]
