Why do we wear clothes? To protect from the elements. To show our status. To elevate our mood. Or to hide from the world. Every now and then I’ll find a piece that makes everything more fun. I wish it would be all the time, but it’s actually quite rare. Last week, upon my regular visits to The Real …

Summer Staple: The Denim ShirtdressSummer Staple: The Denim Shirtdress
Since moving to San Francisco, I have become a weather wimp. Like, if it dips below 60° I’m cold. If it goes above 68° I’m hot. So basically, there is an 8° window when I’m just fine.

But nowadays, there seems to be great shorts all around. Like the faux leather shorts I found at Zara, love them. …

A Nautical Inspired Outfit for the LandlubberA Nautical Inspired Outfit for the Landlubber
Even though I am a Navy brat, I’ve only been sailing once in my life. One spring break, I visited my friend in Rome, who took me sailing in Tuscany. Sounds amazing doesn’t it? Well, as soon as we left the harbor, for six hours straight I vomited. Six hours. Since then, I may ride the ferry across the San …
