The Cotton Tee Makeover

The Cotton Tee Makeover

No matter the time of day or year, more often than not you’ll find me in a cotton top in some shape or form. I sleep in them, run in them, travel in them, sip coffee by day and wine by night in them, romp through the park with the dog and kiddos in them… you get the picture. I often cry toddler when explaining why I can’t seem to get out of my cottons, but truth be told even before the boys arrived I regularly frequented the dry cleaner to clean up many a self-inflicted chocolate and red wine stains, so wash-friendly cottons have always had more longevity in my wardrobe. Of course now with the children I am maybe enjoying even more chocolate and more red wine than ever… so add in two sets of little hands and the odds of remaining stain-free are never, ever in my favor.

Wearing it Now: The Tourist Tee

Wearing it Now: The Tourist Tee

The Mister and I had a night out together this weekend (thanks Grandpa) and we went to a local beer garden with some friends. I’m regularly not a beer drinker, but when in Rome do as the Romans do. Anywho, for the night I sported my favorite new souvenir from our recent trip to California- a t-shirt from Russian River Brewery in Santa Rosa, California. While we were in Napa we made a special trip up to Santa Rosa to visit this brewery, which is one of the best in the country. The infamous brews didn’t disappoint, and it wasn’t until we got there that we discovered that the joint’s pizza was equally as good as the beer. Really though, I would go on a trip to Santa Rosa just for another slice. Okay a whole pizza but who’s counting 🙂 . Read More

Wearing it Now: Black, White, and Cabernet

Wearing it Now: Black, White, and Cabernet

The Mister and I just got back from a trip to California last week. He travels quite a bit for work and I tag along for the good destinations when I can. We spent two days in San Francisco then drove across the Golden Gate Bridge and up Highway 101 to Calistoga in Napa Valley. A packing post will be up on the blog soon, so I won’t go into what was in my suitcase, but wanted to share my favorite look from the trip. After a red-eye back into D.C. followed by a days long Napa hangover (totally worth the pain) I am now recovered from my zombie like state and finally sharing this “wearing it then” post.  Available pieces are in the Shop page.
