Fashion Friday: Edition I needed a cold front

Diary, Fashion

It has been warm and cloudy here all week long and I was finding the whole thing incredibly depressing because it's just that yuck kind of weather that won't commit to being a rainy day yet the sun won't shine either. But yesterday morning the beautiful North breeze began to blow and at least now it's cloudy and cold, which is what I prefer February to be. Do not make me have to think about Read More

Thursday Things Edition 2

Another day

What? Two weeks in a row? I think I smell a regular feature. And, as it turns out, it's pretty easy to come up with some things to share when you make notes in your phone all week about things you want to remember to tell people. So here are some of those things: 1. julian's pretzel baguette Gulley told me about this pretzel baguette a year ago and I was like "Okay, sure" and then I Read More

Thursday Things

Another day, Diary

Is this an actual thing I'm doing now? I don't know. If you do something once, does it become tradition? Maybe. Truth be told, I just liked the way Thursday Things sounded because alliteration. Life here has been busy with all the usual things like soccer and traveling to speak and finding things to cook for dinner and changing out all the plastic hangers in my closet with those velvet Read More

Fashion Friday: Edition apparently the focus is on comfort

Diary

Here's what I've been doing this week. Working on some chapters for my next book and sitting out in the cold at soccer games. I think this explains why this week tends to be focused on clothes that are warm and cozy and could potentially double as pajamas, although there are a few exceptions. Here are some cute things I found this week: 1. clayton sweater I ran in Anthropologie Read More

Fashion Friday: Edition it’s a three day weekend

Fashion

Happy Friday! I'm currently in a hotel room in Austin and it's actually Thursday afternoon, but I've been looking forward to Friday since Monday so I'm going to go ahead and wish us all a happy Friday. And this isn't any kind of transition at all, but I have been meaning to mention that I find myself posting a lot more often on Instagram these days because it's just easy. In many ways, Read More
