I wrote this post and was finished before 3 pm yesterday. I was psyched, I often write Weekend Reads into the evening prior. I closed my laptop, checked in with the family, had a 4 pm friend video chat with a friend and 5 pm business video chat, and then said I would close my… Continue Reading Weekend Reads #123
Knee-high boots have been a popular fashion trend almost consistently for over a decade. Few fashion trends have such staying power. Why have tall boots remained popular for so long? For the same reason that many fashion trends last and occasionally overstay their welcome – it’s a trend that is accessible to a variety of… Continue Reading How to Style Knee-High Boots for 2020
Every summer for over a decade, my mom, sister, and I have gone to Rehoboth Beach, Delaware for a long weekend. When my daughter came on the scene, she joined us.

I was walking from one wing of the Georgetown University Hospital to another, a place where you… Continue Reading Weekend Reads #121
I shared these pants from the Black woman-owned fashion brand Evryday Jane in my Friday Shop post. These are the kind of pants you buy not because you’re trying to whittle your waist or “flatter your figure” but because they are unique and fun and architectural while also being super comfy. Oh, and I have… Continue Reading Evryday Jane Nia Volume Pants
I was flipping channels the other week and came across Doris Kearns Goodwin, a presidential historian and award-winning bestelling author. She was being interviewed about her book, Leadership: In Turbulent Times. The book goes into how Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and Lyndon B.
