500 Posts? 500 Posts!

It seems fitting that I would commemorate 500 posts here at ‘Coffee & Chiffon’ from the comforts of a loft overlooking downtown San Diego and the Bay, watching the sun rise and the city come to life minute by minute.

Pre-Vacay Nachos and Flowers…

Although I’m only heading to Southern California for a few days, I’ve been packing/unpacking/re-packing for the past 24 hours while I try to stuff the perfect beachwear, casual wear, night out accessories, etc. into one tiny suitcase.

Greetings from Maryland! I’ve been multi-taking and working remotely since my arrival this past Saturday morning, specifically keeping two small children entertained while I’m here, hence the lack of a post on Monday and any typos that might be found in this post. I’m very, very tired- but in the best possible way. I flew […]

“Over the River and Through the Woods…”

The days leading up to some extended out-of-state travel are a mix of both excitement and stress. I’m so looking forward to seeing family and celebrating birthdays, milestones, etc. but then there’s packing, and making sure my bank knows where I’ll be in case I use my card, and finding parking near the airport, so […]
