True Maryland Bloody Mary – mix, Old Bay seasoning, celery, olives, horseradish, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, and even an… Continue Reading Christmas
I knew I would be one of the only people in the office, so figured a super great outfit wasn’t necessary. Black silk/tencel tee from Banana Republic, denim trousers from Gap, black city boots from Impo, gold hoops, gold necklace from Express, gold bangles from Ralph Lauren. Hair was washed and conditioned, a tiny bit… Continue Reading Monday
