Sharing an unsponsored review of Quince linen tanks, tops, shorts, and pants. Here in the Carolinas, temperatures continue to inch closer to triple digits, and there is little else to do except move slowly and reach for light, breathable layers (and, of course, do our very best to explore the great indoors!). Linen has long …
Happy Summer Solstice! The weather in Charlotte is ultra-dreary today (I’m not even sure we’re going to see the sun on this, the longest day), but I’ve had sunny style on the brain for months. I’ve missed bringing you these fun, seasonal wish lists, so I’m dipping my toe back in with a little roundup …
A real-life packing list for four summer days in Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas – all packed in a carry-on suitcase, of course!
“Wow, Cartagena?” People asked Michael and me, over and over again when we told people where we were traveling for our eleventh (dating) anniversary. The truth is, we weren’t really considering international destinations for our trip. Our sights were initially set on Portland, Maine – first flying to Boston and making the two-hour drive up. …
Happy Summer! Weather-wise it’s felt like summer here since, oh, April or so – but now that the kids are out of school and the college students have returned to their hometowns for the next few months, my city has thinned out and I’m finally getting to enjoy a slower pace of life. I’ve never …

He couldn’t contain his excitement, and …
The official start of Summer is just around the corner, but here in Florida, the season begins much earlier than June 21. It always takes me a bit longer to get into the habit of Summer-dressing; I usually drag my feet until it is simply impossible to wear anything over my bare legs. My warm-weather …
About a year before we visited Nashville, we visited Memphis, Tennessee (I imagine most people visit those two cities in the opposite order). This was back in July 2016, nearly nine months before we started this blog. I plan on sharing some of our past trips in this space this year; I hope you don’t mind!
This is the final installment in a three-part series recapping our trip to Kansas City. Missed the others? Start here. DAY THREE MORNING Our final day in Kansas City was a short one, and the fact that I’d come down with a cold put a further damper on the day (plus the end of a …
Saturday we celebrated the fact that it’s been nine years since Michael awkwardly asked me if I wanted to be his girlfriend and I said, “I guess that sounds alright.” (Kidding. He wasn’t that awkward about it). In the weeks leading up to our anniversary weekend, we began looking for flights. As I’ve mentioned before, …
