Since so many of us have been stuck indoors due to storm Sandy... Here's some home decor inspiration for your day. The look of the day is: the Versailles dome chair. So plush and romantic, it might be the perfect place to curl up and wait for the storm to pass. Check out some of these great examples: ...
As we all brace ourselves for the storm, I've been thinking about what to wear if I ever get out of the house. Eventually we're all going to have to go back to work, even though it's expected to rain for days. So naturally we're going to have to find something to wear that will withstand the wet winds and still look human....
This past weekend was that perfect time when the leaves changing colors was at its peak. There are so many beautiful hidden spots to enjoy the fall. Here are some photos of a gorgeous tree-lined walkway of a church in Alexandria. This weekend I wanted to wear something reminiscent of fall: orange, of course, and a full skirt to welcome brisker temperatures. Scarf:...

Big orange pumpkins means fall is finally here! This past weekend we made a trip to Eastern Market in southwest D.C., which is a great place to pick up fresh fruits and vegetables and browse local handicrafts. It's also near one of my favorite places (8th St., SE) for restaurants. I was a little more dressed up than I normally would be for...
I've never put up any recipes on the blog before, but I've been trying new healthy ones and thought I'd share them with you all! After all, eating healthy is an important part of style - how else can we fit into our skinny jeans?! Just kidding :) But I have been looking for more vegetarian and vegan options as I try to...
