Podcast

This is pretty much all of our thoughts about Southern Charm and the various train wrecks involved therein. So if you're looking for something deep and introspective that will help you figure out the meaning of life and how to survive these tumultuous times? This probably isn't it. But if you want to know if we think Shep and Kathryn are MFEO (made for each other)? Then here you go. We Read More

Fashion Friday: Edition Nordstrom Anniversary sale and more!

Diary, Fashion

Here's a disclaimer for today's Fashion Friday. Caroline and I are in Fort Worth right now because I spoke at an event in Southlake yesterday.

Some Summer Favorites

Another day

So as it turns out summertime hasn't necessarily been a season where I've found a lot of time to write on the blog.

Fashion Friday: Edition the disappointment of no rain

Diary, Fashion

All last week the weather forecasters kept talking about a "rain event" that was going to bring anywhere from "zero to six inches of rain". Way to hedge your bets, meteorologists. There's somewhere between a zero and one hundred percent chance that you might win the lottery. Congratulations. Anyway, I was really hoping for some good rainy days this week because it's been so hot, but it turns Read More
