70’s girl
Every once in a while, I actually let my hair be its natural self– straight–, and when I do I get this urge to part my hair in the middle. I personally love it– somehow it makes me feel a bit more glamorous than a side part — but my husband? Well… it’s been a journey. First, it was that he didn’t like it, and he couldn’t tell me why. Then, I finally dug out of him that I don’t look like me with my hair like this — aka, it’s just not what he’s used to. Then, he started to just look at me funny before he figured out…

Flower Child
Do you ever have those days where you have all the pictures, but nothing to say? This is one of those days. I think I might be a reincarnation of my mom’s highschool era. Oh wait: I do have something to say. I love this cat. You’ve probably all seen pictures of him on my Instagram, because he is obsessed with our house and attempts almost daily to come inside. Apparently he used to live here, and now he lives across the lawn in the other house on this property. I adore him. He is always purring and meowing loudly, he’s cuddly, he loves to be held, and he’s just…

Where the wild roses grow
I think I am now addicted to head accessories, you guys. Wearing the one hat has just led to this feeling that no outfit is quite complete without something on my head. And I love it, because it’s also pushing my style back towards the more retro feel (and sometimes full-out 1950’s) that I really love.I’ve always had this huge struggle with settling into just one style, mostly because I look at other bloggers and think “Oh, I love her sense of style, maybe I should try that!” But this week I’ve realized that I just feel the best when I’m dressed in something that looks very retro, regardless of…

All the fancy things
You guys, I think buying that one hat has started something serious. I’ve been getting up every morning thinking “Okay, what should I wear on my head with my outfit?” I have such a plethora of hats, scarves, and flower crowns now that it really isn’t that hard to pick something that goes well, and I LOVE it. As you can see, it definitely pushes my style more towards retro/vintage, which is something I’ve never been able to resist. I do have to admit that this outfit is one of my more frivolous ones, that I didn’t actually wear anywhere (no car) and the only way anyone saw it was…

Of hats
If you’ve liked my page on Facebook or follow me on Twitter, you’ll know that on Saturday I got to meet my first blogger ever. It seems like most of the blogger meet ups I ever see are… not in Washington, and I tend to be pretty shy about talking about my blog to most people. So I’ve never met a fellow blogger. (Well, okay, I have a cousin and a niece who have blogs, but they’re family and that’s different.) But ever since I started up the Washington Bloggers page, I’ve realized that 1. there are so many awesome Washingtonian bloggers around, and 2. I totally need to meet…
