So the world didn’t end on December 21st. I never thought it would, but all the hype did get me thinking about the future. While I do think my family and I have a good plan for hurricanes and natural disasters, we never had prepared Bug Out Bags (also known as Go Bags). A Bug…
Like fashion, I believe in quality instead of quantity for my social life. My evenings and weekends are primarily dedicated to my family, and only a few choice blog events. Last night I attended a fabulous and quality event; Hive on the Hill from The Shoe Hive. While The Shoe Hive has the most adorable…
When publications ask me for an example of true DC style, I always mention Elizabeth Pendergrass at District of Chic.

The past couple of months have been pretty hectic, the type where you blink and a week has passed, where you need coffee three times a day just to get through the day, where you dream about work, where tension causes ridiculous and pointless arguments with those…
“If you can’t laugh at yourself, life’s gonna seem a whole lot longer than you like.” – Sam (Natalie Portman), Garden State When figuring out a costume for today I couldn’t pass up making fun of myself as a fashion blogger. I’m proud to be one, and I am so glad blogs are out there…
