Opening up my suitcase and sharing my packing list for a winter weekend in D.C. The last time I visited Washington, D.C., the weather was in the nineties and I nearly sweated through my tanks, dresses, and shorts. For a mid-January trip, the highs were barely above freezing, meaning there would be no easy packing …
I think it’s fair to say that we all want to look our best when we travel, but we don’t want to spend hours at the hotel bathroom sink trying to make it happen. So how do you look “normal” after traveling long distances for days at a time, often without access to a curling/straightening …
On Monday I shared my final looks for the 10 x 10 Challenge, and now that I’ve returned to my full wardrobe and had a few days to reflect on the challenge, I wanted to share my final thoughts. Missed ’em? See all the Winter 10 x 10 Posts here: Preview | Days 1 – …
We did it! Yesterday was the last day of the Winter 10 x 10 Challenge (confused by those words? Start here!), so I’m going to go ahead and share the final four looks with you today. On Thursday, I’ll share a wrap-up of the challenge which will include my favorite + least favorite outfits. This …

Hi 10 x 10 Friends! Three days down, seven to go. I’ve really enjoyed seeing everyone’s item choices and outfit combinations so far (although I think my favorite ones are always towards the end of the ten days, where we all have to get a little extra creative to change things up)! At the end …

Normally packing for a three-day weekend is a breeze, but when you’re from Florida and the temperature at your destination is barely expected to rise above freezing, it can be a challenge. Neither Michael nor I have a well-established winter wardrobe (you don’t really need one where we live!), and I still feel like we’re …
Go ahead and do a web search for “City Pharma Paris” and you’ll surely see a long line of blog posts and other websites praising the giant discount parapharmacie mecca in the results (it’s okay—I’ll still be here, promise). Everything they say is true—it’s busy and crowded but the prices are much lower. The staff …
And I’m back! Michael and I usually try to visit New York City at least once a year, and quite unbelievably as of last week, we hadn’t been yet this year. Well, we remedied that over the past weekend and spent three days eating and shopping to our hearts’ content. This post contains affiliate links …
