Friday was Career Day at my daughter’s school. I knew about it but didn’t think of participating. Career Day is for scientists and fire fighters and nurses and pilots, not for bloggers. But then a parent at a nearby middle school reached out asking if I’d come to their school to discuss the real work…
In a recent Weekend Reads, I suggested a pair of ponte cropped wide leg pants from LOFT as a good buy during one of their sales. I decided to buy a pair and see if I was right, that they were a good wardrobe addition and show how to style them. This is a casual…
Friday was amazing. It felt like camping weather. I pulled out a hoodie to wear to yoga. A hoodie! I call these kinds of days faux fall. So when I received a box in the mail from Talbots that included a wool coat and cashmere sweater I felt Mother Nature was giving me permission to…
Yesterday on the blog, I shared this zebra jumpsuit from Banana Republic, and styled it for summer. No matter what the retailers say, filling their stores with plastic pumpkins and spiced candles, fall is a ways away and it’s okay to embrace the current season. Summer does NOT end with Labor Day.

The concept of white pants and jeans only between Memorial Day and Labor Day is dated. White is a color that can now be worn year-round. The goal is to make white looks appropriate to the season. I love wearing white jeans all seasons of the year, the key is to style white jeans in…
Friday night, I was invited to check out The Pembroke, a new restaurant in the Dupont Circle Hotel. I brought my friend Nicole as my date, and for the evening I wore this look of several pieces you’ve seen several times before on the blog. This is one of my go-to looks for a Friday…
I wasn’t sure what to title this outfit post. Chewbaca Coat? Perfect Pants? The power of a statement coat? Faux Real? I think I should have gone with Chewbaca coat as when I opened my Rent the Runway delivery that’s immediately what I thought when I pulled out this coat. With a statement coat like…
