Little Luxuries: Kate Spade Compact Mirror

Little Luxuries: Kate Spade Compact Mirror

Kate Spade Compact Mirror (available here and here) I really like the classic preppy quirkiness* of Kate Spade New York houseware and gifts. I really, really like the fact that the little beauty pictured above is engraved with the perfectly apropos “hello sunshine” 🙂 *Case in point: how cute is it […]

2 Ways to Wear Cutoffs and a Sweatshirt

2 Ways to Wear Cutoffs and a Sweatshirt

It’s that time of year in Atlanta where it’s chilly earlier in the day and gets progressively warmer as the day goes on. Some days there are 20+ degree differences in the weather between 8am and 4pm! A few Saturdays ago, I had plans to attend an outdoor game in […]

Classic Kicks

Classic Kicks

I can’t remember when I started wearing Converse All-Stars – college maybe? post-grad school? – but I do know that these are the first shoes I’ve actually worn completely out. Multiple times. They work with just about any outfit, and add a casual, too-cool-for-school vibe to even the most buttoned […]

Cagle’s Corn Maze

Cagle’s Corn Maze

One of my favorite autumn friends/family things to do is the corn maze at Cagle’s Family Farm.  Years ago, when I first mentioned the idea to my hubby, he had, “WHY?” written all over his face. I said, “It might be fun!” Turns out it’s SO much fun: great exercise […]

Now THIS is a Basket!

Now THIS is a Basket!

A friend and I were strolling through 14th Street Antiques Market ooo-ing and ahh-ing over all the gorgeous pieces in there when we came across a vintage purse shop right in the middle of the place! Glam girl that she is, my friend scored a timeless black croc clutch (yes, […]

Pan-Seared White Beans with Chard and Onions

Pan-Seared White Beans with Chard and Onions

I’ve never been a big meat eater – growing up, my mom would say, “Eat the meat on your plate. Then you can have more sweet peas!” – so sometimes I wonder if I’m getting enough protein. One of my friends suggested beans as a good protein source, which reminded […]

Interior Decor Book: Romantic Style

Interior Decor Book: Romantic Style

Romantic Style My interior design/decor style definitely skews towards modern minimalism: open spaces with few furnishings; color in small doses; practically bare counters and tabletops. While this book was a completely out-of-character purchase for me, something about the utter super feminine prettiness all up and through the pages just makes […]

Craft chocolate bar by Patric Chocolate Do you see this chocolate bar?! Wait, that’s not even the best part! The BEST part is that I can actually eat it! Whoo-hoo! (Excuse me while I turn a flip, and bust a move. Go chocolate bar! Go chocolate bar! Go, go, go!) […]

Casual Layers (Part Deux)

Casual Layers (Part Deux)

Autumn is considering taking up residence in the A, so mornings/evenings are a bit chilly (at least to me, an admittedly cold-natured person). This is one of those very casual, layered outfits that easily adapts to schizophrenic weather. When it warms up, I can swap the boots for Tretorns or […]

Workout Wear

Workout Wear

Some friends and I were chatting about how the key to fitness is proper motivation, meaning each person has to find their own personal thing that inspires them not only to want to workout, but pushes them to actually DO it. Well, let me tell ya: Proper motivation tapped me on the shoulder and […]
