Usually, I work on Weekend Reads all week. I start the post and as I read articles or think of something I add it and save the draft. Sometimes, I even have two in draft – the one for the coming week and the one after. But this week, Weekend Reads is being put together… Continue Reading Weekend Reads #122

While the whole internet seems to be in love with the concept of a nap dress, I’ve been gravitating towards elevated athleisure. But with a recent… Continue Reading A Tale of Two Caftans
Welcome to another installment of retail hits or misses, where I share what I purchased from a retailer and my honest thoughts. What was a hit (meaning I kept it), and what was a miss (return that baby). As I shared two weeks ago, I made some purchases from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale and shared… Continue Reading Retail Hits & Misses: Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Edition
