a travel and style blog
I admit I still feel a bit rusty at running this blog again. (Not that I was necessarily an expert at it before, but still). I feel like I’m still navigating what Wayward looks like in 2021, and with the world the way it is (i.e., the days are still pretty slow around here), I …
The news makes it clear that we can’t just recycle our way to a cleaner world. And while it’s true that corporations are primarily the ones responsible for environmental detriments like carbon emissions and the production of excessive and often unnecessary single-use plastic, this doesn’t absolve us as individuals from trying to lessen our footprint. …
Update: the results are in! The world looks very different in 2021 than it did when I was last posting regular content here at the beginning of 2020 – as does the concept of blogging. Today I’m releasing a reader survey to better understand what your thoughts are on travel, blogging in general, and what …
Charlotte isn’t on anyone’s radar as an international city, but we are so fortunate to have people from all over the world in our community. And if you know where to look, you can find businesses from regions all over the globe. Quite a few of the area’s Latinx businesses were represented at last weekend’s …
I understand the appeal of beautiful food; we eat first with our eyes (and occasionally our phones) after all. But if we only choose the most beautiful produce, we let perfectly edible food go to waste. That’s where companies like Misfits Market and Imperfect Foods (edit: these are now both under the same umbrella) come …
Instagram going down this week was reassurance enough that I should have this space to call my own, but I’m glad to say I didn’t feel the impact too strongly. I missed connecting with friends who I’d just gotten back in contact with, and I missed using it as a tool to find out what …
There are very few truly public gathering places left. Sure, there are ever-shrinking public parks, gardens, and libraries, but beyond that? There’s little else. In Charlotte, breweries step in to fill the void; despite being private businesses, they act as a meeting place for people from all walks of life. Even though there are waves …
Happy October! We’re still a few weeks away from peak fall foliage, but there are signs of autumn’s arrival everywhere. Apple farms are open for picking, boots and wool capes abound, and there’s something distinctly different in the air (is that cinnamon?). Last year Michael and I did All The Fall Things and I think …
Whether or not you believe that skinny jeans are “out” I think we can all agree that it’s exciting to see other denim cuts on the racks at both high-end retailers and Walmart (and everything in between). I’ve enjoyed wearing my wide-leg canvas pants for a few seasons now, but I haven’t given wide-leg denim …
Hey, hi, hello! I’m so glad you’re still here (and if we’re being honest, I’m so glad I’m still here too!). The weather is just incredibly beautiful for this first week of fall, and I’m feeling extra happy we decided to move to Charlotte. Right now my days allow for meandering walks, and I love …
