Since then, CARE has grown to become a leading humanitarian organization fighting global poverty. CARE places special focus on working alongside poor girls… Continue Reading What I Wore: CARE at the Embassy of Finland
When you match the decor, you just HAVE to take some photos! Karl and I checked out Burton’s Grill & Bar, a restaurant chain along the Eastern Seaboard. With locations from Massachusetts to North Carolina, this is the first one in Maryland. Not only does it have beautiful decor that beautifully matched with my navy… Continue Reading What I Wore: Shades of Blue
