Some of the components that make up this outfit come from some very special times in my life. The skirt? I bought it at a Banana Republic in 2006 in Charleston, the day after running my very first half marathon on Kiawah Island. The boots: I bought them on my very first trip to New …

…as if I couldn’t get more random. Have you seen the 12 Random Facts floating around the blog world?  If not, you must read way more serious blogs that I do, because I’ve seen it some umpteen times. I secretly LOVE reading random facts about the bloggers I follow because we all feel like we …

I imagine that I ended up with my gigantic calves when …

It’s been mighty chilly in Charlotte, these past few days and I’ve been dressing for comfort and for warmth. Well, warm…if you don’t count my sock-less feet. I love my gray wedges too much to ruin them with ugly trouser socks. Getting dressed in the morning is much better than usual with a few new …
