I’m such a rebel wearing white after Labor Day. But come on, you know I don’t believe in that made up rule, right? I read once that a women’s magazine in the 1950s declared that rule (and it stuck) but rules are meant for breaking. Check out some of Labor Day sales that I found: […]
I have a confession: I always swore I wouldn’t be the mom who started dressing down just because I had kids. And at first I didn’t–but I had a 9-5 job in fashion that required some dressing up, meeting with clients or brands and setting the tone for the style in the office. Now, I […]
Belt bag, fanny pack, hip pouch – what do you call it? Basically, this baby is a hands-free bag and with the 90s revival happening as of late, they’ve been all the rage. I had one growing up (who didn’t) and definitely didn’t think I’d be rocking a nylon one again as an adult. The […]

There are a handful of special products–“HG status” products, that I keep buying, even if I’m lured to try something new. And hey, it’s the nature of the business; I love trying new things and telling you guys […]
A couple weeks ago, we took the family to Lake Lure, North Carolina, which is about 25 miles outside of Asheville. My oldest sister and her family recently relocated to South Carolina and they’ve been loving the summer lake life down in the Carolinas so my brother-in-law wanted to celebrate his 40th birthday down there.
