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 […]
I have a confession, everyone. It’s nothing salacious, and I know for a fact I’m not the only one thinking/feeling this way, but I am so ready for Summer. Maybe it’s because I’ll be kicking off music festival season in a couple of weeks with the arrival of Boston Calling, or maybe it’s because Troy […]
I haven’t had much need for sweaters here in Southern California. It’s been sunny and warm every single day since my arrival a couple of weeks ago- and any clouds, fog or early morning precipitation is usually cleared up by the time I step outside to start my day. I’m so not used to wearing […]

Much to my surprise […]
When ‘Barbiecore’ (see: all things hot pink) was all the rage last year- and was a trend I fully embraced and appreciated because it was just so much fun– I thought for sure that the inspired-hue would eventually be announced as Pantone’s 2023 ‘Color of The Year’.
