Fashion Friday: Edition it has been raining for approximately 800 days

Fashion

Here's the thing about San Antonio weather. We are either in a drought or it's flooding. There is no in between. Our weather has no chill or sense of decency. Currently, it has rained every day for approximately the last two weeks. On the upside, it's no longer so hot that you want to die. The air-conditioning in our house even occasionally shuts off. On the downside, I'm having a hard Read More

Fashion Friday: Edition my kind of town, Chicago is

Diary, Fashion

Well, as you read this I am most likely en route to Chicago. Or maybe I'm already in Chicago. I guess it depends on what time you're reading this post. Whatever the case, I'm spending the weekend in Chicago to be part of the Popcast Live and couldn't be more excited about it.

Fashion Friday: Edition one week down, a whole lot to go

Here are some cute things I found this week as I dream of fall and a Read More

Even the earlier mornings and packing the lunches doesn't bother me, although I'm going to need to come back here in mid-October and read that sentence back to myself so I can remember my kinder, gentler, most glass half full self when I'm rolling out of bed with the attitude of a troll Read More
