I bought this striped dress on our weekend at National Harbor. I visited a boutique called The Pinkwell, which carries regular and plus sizes. I tried this dress on over jeans and thought it was a cool effect, but I have since also worn it with tights and, when the weather warmed, just tall boots.… Continue Reading Stripes and a Beret at the Greenbelt Cinema
Growing up, the magazines in our home were Time, National Geographic, and Good Housekeeping. Whenever anything was purchased, my parents consulted Consumer Reports and/or Good Housekeeping. New recipe tried for dinner? There’s a good chance it came from the pages of Good Housekeeping. Now that I am an adult, Good Housekeeping is still a part… Continue Reading A Tour of Good Housekeeping with Jambu
Saturday was the March for our Lives. I would have loved to be there. I am agast at how our government is worried more about money than the lives of its residents and wished to be one of the hundreds of thousands who protested that day. But my daughter had her karate tournament, and her… Continue Reading What I Wore: Resister Sister
There’s some color combinations I just adore, and I love when they come back in style. Red with pink is a hot trend and one I’ve worn for years (see here and here). This is the same pink blazer from this blog post; I saw these pants on clearance at Banana Republic and thought they’d… Continue Reading What I Wore: Red with Pink

Jumpsuit: c/o ELOQUII (14) | Bracelet: Had forever… Continue Reading What I Wore: Bold Floral

Living on the Eastern Seaboard of the USA, spring means April showers (and March showers), blustery days, and the need for wind and rain protection. I shop for Emerson and see the greatest raincoats… Continue Reading The Best Raincoat for Every Situation

I’ve been working from home for the past few months and this capsule wardrobe is based upon what I have been wearing and found the easiest, most stylish, and versatile for the occasions that come… Continue Reading Capsule Wardrobe for the Work from Home Woman
Did you know where the term care package came from? CARE.org created the original care package in 1945 with rations from World War II to help those in Europe devastated by it. Since then, CARE has grown to become a leading humanitarian organization fighting global poverty. CARE places special focus on working alongside poor girls… Continue Reading What I Wore: CARE at the Embassy of Finland
When you match the decor, you just HAVE to take some photos! Karl and I checked out Burton’s Grill & Bar, a restaurant chain along the Eastern Seaboard. With locations from Massachusetts to North Carolina, this is the first one in Maryland. Not only does it have beautiful decor that beautifully matched with my navy… Continue Reading What I Wore: Shades of Blue
