There’s a new restaurant in the Union Market District in Washington, D.C., and the name may sound familiar to some who have dined in the Big Apple (or watched Sex and the City). Pastis, the French Restaurant in New York City’s Meatpacking District, has opened a second Pastis here in DC. I went to dinner…
I got a new bag! After buying that stupidly overpriced Isabel Marant bag and returning it, I knew I wanted a more upscale belt bag for fall and winter. This is the Brandon Blackwood belt bag called the “Braulio.” It comes in several colors, I liked the idea of the white color being a contrast…
If you see me in person this late spring, there is a good chance you will see me in this outfit or a variation of it. Relaxed jeans that offer some airflow and flexibility, a lightweight cotton or linen top with interest, and Birkenstock sandals. My Late Spring Uniform with a Farm Rio Blouse This…
I may have relaxed my personal style this year, but I don’t like to look schlubby. I often find I am wearing leggings or joggers and a tee and need to head out and just feel too casual… too close to sleepwear. I’ve put on a denim jacket and it helps, but when doing another…

I think one of the reasons I like fall so much is the outerwear. Denim jackets, leather jackets, twill utility jackets, trench coats, bomber jackets… the outerwear game is strong this for this season. I am a sucker for a great leather moto jacket, but rarely do I find one that fits me great as…
I know I am not the only one that feels as though brands follow them on social media. Whether it’s ads for products you were just Googling or learning about a new retailer and then seeing it featured by every influencer you follow, it seems that social media is reading our minds. And due to…
I shared these pants from the Black woman-owned fashion brand Evryday Jane in my Friday Shop post. These are the kind of pants you buy not because you’re trying to whittle your waist or “flatter your figure” but because they are unique and fun and architectural while also being super comfy. Oh, and I have…
I shared in a recent Friday Shop post that I had dreams of being a “21st Century Mrs. Roper” but didn’t like how I looked or felt in caftans. While the whole internet seems to be in love with the concept of a nap dress, I’ve been gravitating towards elevated athleisure. But with a recent…
