Blonde Moments
I know I have blonde hair, but I try not to have too many “blonde moments.” Sigh. Too bad I’m not perfect. For anyone not from New England take note: Heating is way different up here. Gone are the advanced days of central heating and air and new are the olden days of radiant and hot water baseboard heating. If you don’t know what that means, don’t fret, neither did...

The Peach State
So glad to finally be back home in Georgia. I stepped off the plane and was immediately hit with a gust of warm air, and my heart smiled.  Now, surrounded by family and friends (lots of Chick-fil-A, sweet tea, Coca-Cola and cornbread) I can relish this week at home in the lovely state of Georgia. Southern accents, loads of smiling, and the need to drive everywhere have been a nice little change...

Starbucks and Dunkin Donuts
Airports are a great thing, especially when they have a plethora of options for your morning pre-flight beverage and snack. Every news stand and fast food place is vying for your attention…but let’s face it…at this point we’re going to go to what we’re brand loyal to. Who wants to try out the Mexican Cantina before a flight? (I can tell you the passenger sitting...

Swimming in November
This morning, it happened. I was going through my usual morning routine when I reached into my underwear/panties/delicates (whatever you choose to call it) drawer and there wasn’t anything there, except bathing suit bottoms.  Don’t laugh because you know you’ve all done it, some of you are probably wearing them right now.  As the minutes were ticking away, I was debating what I...

We all Love to Love, even if it's cheesy
I feel like cheesy quotes exist for a reason. We all secretly laugh and roll our eyes when people actually say them out loud….but deep down you all know you’re like “Yes, this is my life!”  OR “I can’t wait until this is true!”  It’s the same reason we listen to sappy love songs, watch hopelessly romantic chick flicks and dress up for no reason....

Such a Beautiful Morning
When it’s a beautiful morning, I think everyone notices. Even the people on the train were forgiving (I had a bookbag on therefore being that girl that takes up two spots…I know, I know we all hate that person)  It impacts everyone’s mood and I start to wonder what all the people are smiling about…what made their morning and put that little upward curve on their face....

VOGUE: At Your Fingertips: Fall's Best Nail... →
ahhhhh love this vogue: By Sarah Brown Is nail polish the new lipstick? We think so. How better to accessorize the season’s velvet, camel, utility chic, and rock ’n’ roll looks? Where last year was dominated by pale, pavement-colored tones (remember Chinchilly?), this winter has us loving a wide range of uncommonly…

The Land of Hypothesis
Hypothesis: An educated guess about how things work. This morning when I was getting ready I couldn’t stop thinking about how my day would change with just a slight variation of events. This worksheet reminded me of elementary school, ah science. So while the events below don’t exactly follow the model..you get the point.  What IF:  I would have gotten out of bed when my alarm...

Under my Umbrella, ella ella ay
It’s a rainy, rainy day in Beantown. As I was walking to work I realized how uncoordinated my rain gear is. My college raincoat (you know the outdoorsy type because everyone is pretending to be all outdoorsy-esque) is well, not quite professional. So as I kept walking I was debating when I would have to step it up and go for the Burberry trench, the Tory Burch rainboots and well you get...

I said brrrrrrr...it's cold in here
It’s officially cold. And dressing in “real cold” is so not cute. I gave up fashion for the sake of warmth. Yes Rachel Zoe just said “I die.” I realized my speed walking has improved immensely since my first post, all due to the fact that it is COLD! If you want to make a southern girl pick up her pace, just send an arctic blast her way.  If that doesn’t...
