Earlier this month, Karl took me away for a weekend to celebrate my birthday. He planned the trip, letting me know where we were going but we didn’t have a really planned itinerary.

I’m not one to have a lot of pastels in her closet, but lately, I just can’t seem to get enough. It started with ice blue from White House Black Market, continued with Everlane, and now Mott & Bow and Talbots are making me blush. It may be because I am completely OVER winter and…

Saturday was the Families Belong Together Rally and March. At over 750 rallies across the United States, people gathered together to protest the how immigrant families are being detained and separated. No hate, no fear, immigrants belong here.
