wishes
We're having a nice time visiting with family and friends-who-are-like-family this week. We made delicious turkey, green bean casserole, mashed potatoes, stuffing, pecan pie, and oatmeal chocolate chip cookies for our Thanksgiving feast. This was my first time hosting - although I helped with the past two years' meal preparations - and it was a … Continue reading wishes

september moodboard

My birthday is September 26 (hint, hint). I'll be 24 this year: my last year of frolicsome youth before I become a quarter-of-a-century old and start … Continue reading september moodboard
wardrobe update
It's tempting to go back-to-school shopping even though this is my second season out of school. I have purchased a handful of wardrobe builders lately, in part to add some interest to my wardrobe, and in part to prepare for the coming fall weather. update Polka dot and floral tees, Urban Outfitters: great layering basics … Continue reading wardrobe update
