OOTD: Beetlejuice Barbie

Greetings from 40,000 feet above the ground, everyone! I’m presently mid-flight with a complimentary orange juice in hand as I soar across the country and back to Southern California to start my extended vacation. I’m excited and quite proud of myself that I had the mind to charge all of my electronics prior to heading […]

Local Loves: Location Updates!

When I first launched ‘Coffee & Chiffon‘ all the way back in January of 2020 (can you believe it’ll be five years in just a few months!?) one my goals was to highlight and showcase some of my favorite businesses, oddities, and off-the-beaten-path spots in and around New England – and beyond! – that were […]

OOTD: True Blue

One of the more interesting things I enjoy about preparing for an extended vacation (less than two weeks to go!) is going through my closet during my pre-packing, daily-outfit-planning methodology to begin laying things out, ironing/steaming the pieces that are a little more wrinkled, or getting things together for the dry cleaners so that I […]

Local Loves: T.P. Saddleblanket

I’ve considered myself fortunate in that so many different styles and aesthetics both fascinate and delight me. I’m in love with Southern California surfer chic clothing and accessories this time of year, but I’m also a big fan of Classic Hollywood and pin-up glamour. I have so many 60s and 70s-inspired pieces in my closet, […]

OOTD: Nautical Polka Dots

The weather in my little corner of Massachusetts has been amazing these past few weeks, with high temperatures and bright, sunny days- and even when the forecast calls for rain or thunderstorms- they are either over in the blink of an eye or end up missing us entirely. It’s been pretty incredible and a highly […]
