happy halloweenie, y'all! full disclosure, i've never really loved halloween (flinches for backlash...). but as a child, i never really ate too much candy and that whole knocking on strangers doors and asking for treats thing just didn't seem logical, either (does stranger danger mean nothing on 10/31?). but just because i'm not into it ...
in honor of today's holiday, i thought i'd share a few photos from the archives. as my mother so sweetly reminded me, halloween has never been my favorite holiday. therefore there are very few photos of me dressed in costume. however, she did manage to track down a few gems. aside from maybe nibbling on a piece of ...
image via: mahaney mark so S's new apartment complex has a guard gate. pretty swanky if you ask me. and every time i venture over to his new digs, i have to stop and obtain a day pass for the front windshield of my car (they're super hard-core and print each days' pass on a ...
i woke up feeling meh. to be honest, i hadn't felt myself the entire weekend. but i wouldn't let my own pettiness wreck what had planned to be a perfect sunday funday. so i gave myself a pep talk, put on a cute outfit, and waited for S to pick me up. seeing as we had ...

hello and welcome to friday once again! after a busy october, i'm very much looking forward to a slower-paced weekend to finish off the month. aside from teaching class and assisting S with his move (yay for a shorter distance between us), we don't have too much left to occupy our first full weekend spent ...

ann taylor loft (or as it's more commonly known as -simply "loft") and i have always had a fickle relationship. most visits to the store i venture into the dressing room with an armful of pieces only to leave empty-handed. and despite the fact that on any given day there's most likely a promotional taking place ...
for someone who, since labor day it seems, has wanted nothing more than to feel the rush of crisp autumn air sweep across her cheeks, and a legitimate reason to don her coziest knit sweaters and worn-in boots, this past weekend in nashville was the perfect appeasement for my fall cravings. but as my visits to nashville climb near ...
