Closet Organization: Hangers

Closet Organization: Hangers

Although I love, love the look, functionality, and boutique-y-shop-my-closet-ness of wooden hangers, I’ve recently had to place my gazillion Ikea ones into temporary retirement (i.e. a storage bin). Sadly, they just take up too much space in a closet the size of the one I share – equitably, I might add […]

Crop Denim Sailor Pants and Stripes

Y’all. I am seriously in need of a beach trip! I love Atlanta, but the fact that it’s landlocked is definitely a downer sometimes, especially when coupled with the fact that I feel all out of sorts when I haven’t been to the coast in a while. There’s just something […]

Books: The Paris Wife

Books: The Paris Wife

I was supposed to read The Four Agreements on my trip to NYC, but when we got to the airport, I could NOT find the copy I’d borrowed from a friend. I’m telling you, I looked all over the car and didn’t see a trace of that book*! Not being one […]

Reader Request: How to Look Stylish While Staying Cool

Reader Request: I am heading to Arizona for a meeting next week and would like some ideas of what to wear. I thought I knew what to take until I realized that it is over 110 degrees every day.  So, I guess I cannot go to the meetings nude or […]

Green Smoothie: Spinach, Romaine, and Fruit

I’ve gotten into the habit of drinking a green smoothie first thing in the morning 5-6 days/week, and here’s the recipe for the one I typically have, a version of the popular glowing green smoothie. To save time and help keep me on track with green-smoothie-drinking, I make and freeze a couple weeks’ worth […]

Coral, Gray, and White

Coral, Gray, and White

The first time I tried on shorts in this cut, I hated them. It was all frowns and head-shaking in the fitting room. The pleats didn’t lie flat, so I figured they’re made for a thinner thigh and happily skipped out with these shorts instead. A few months and a few […]
