I remember when I was younger—thanks to Elle Woods, mostly—I was always confused about the notion that you should only wear white after Memorial Day. Was it really that much of a taboo? Why should a color that’s so unoffensive be limited to just a few months of the year? Of course, I’ve since discovered that […] More
I’ve always had a natural affinity for accessories. I love shoes, bags, hats, scarves, belts, etc. more than anyone else I know. But one extra outfit touch has always stood above the rest for me: jewelry. My little T.J. Maxx jewelry organizer is constantly overflowing with statement earrings, dainty gold chains, hoops in every finish, […] More
You know what they say: a girl’s first love is her father. Cheesy, sure, but dads teach us how to ride a bike, drive a car, and change a lightbulb.

In summer, there’s nothing your bag can’t do. It can serve as a beach bag when you head to the pool; it can stash a change of clothes (and underwear) to put on after said pool trip; it can hold backup SPF so you don’t get fried in the sun. It stores everything your days […] More
I’m going to be honest: prior to this weekend, my version of “dressed up” was a graphic tee and some jean shorts (jorts, if you will).
