Sliding into Spring

Sliding into Spring

Waxing poetic about Spring is just too easy. Put quite simply… Spring is just the most beautiful time of year. Winter might be wonderful, but once Spring has sprung the season takes the cake for beauty. Every morning my little boys and I take our dog on a walk and every day without fail I am captivated by the vibrant blooms and beauty this season brings to every nook and cranny of Capitol Hill. After a long, cold winter, Spring is quite literally a breath of fresh air. And with that fresh, fragrant air comes the sun and it’s once again time to pack away the winter layers and bring out the warm weather threads and slip on footwear. Read More

His and Hers

His and Hers

His and hers not in the cutesy and traditional sense, but more in a what’s yours is mine sort of way. As the youngest sibling of three wandering into other people’s closets comes quite naturally to me. Not quite an enduring quality, but an inherent tendency none the less.

Sure enough, this tad too short for him sweater was just the right tunic-esque length for me. I’ve always liked the idea of tunics but had never found one with the right relaxed fit and flattering length. With my tunic query finally answered, the Mister’s closet suddenly had much bigger borrowing potential 🙂  Read More

Wearing It Now: Tomboy Sundae with a Cherry on Top

Essential to dressing on the double is stocking your wardrobe with a few pieces that really put an exclamation point on the outfit, and in this case a rather red exclamation point. These loafers were a recent purchase and I am utterly smitten. I have always loved loafers but never wore them much because the ones I had weren’t comfortable. This pair is comfortable, sturdy, and timeless. With plenty of room in the toe box I could even get away with wearing trouser socks with them when it gets cold out. Read More
