The Camel Coat

Things that I did and did not accomplish in 2016: DID: 1. Start blogging 2. Get CPA license 3. Remove wisdom teeth DID NOT: 1. Start investing 2. Get driver’s license 3. Buy a camel coat Though seemingly trivial, items #3 from both lists are the most significant in their category. I’ve been putting off getting my wisdom teeth removed for almost four years, proving that you can be 27 and still an awfully irresponsible adult. And since the winter began, I’ve browsed over 30 stores, both online and off, for that dang camel coat. Zara dropped the shoulders too…

The Grey Ribbed Rollneck

As I sit here reminiscing on Halloweens past, costumes adorned, parties made belligerent, I think to myself, God what happened to your youth!? Perhaps it’s because I am currently in Belgium and the American holiday isn’t as widely embraced here (or understood as an epic out-of-this-world excuse to rage for 48 hours straight), but this seems like the first year I didn’t really feel the same level of holiday energy that I used to.

I only got a tan twice this summer: the first was during a 150 mile fundraising bike ride under the blaring sun, who gifted me the most direct and unmistakable farmer’s tan via our team jersey. I then spent the second opportunity trying…

The Silk Blouse

Every woman needs a classic silk blouse. The lightweight smooth material elevates each look with a simple touch of that oh-la-la luxury.  Silk is also made from a prism-like fibre which allows the cloth to refract incoming light at different angles, producing a shimmering effect… Who says I never paid attention in Physics? And if you’re anything like me, that natural sheen creates the perfect spotlight for your devastatingly intuitive monologues (cue diagnosis of Middle Child Syndrome). THE UTILITY: Not a fan of the luxe? Then let’s try laid-back. When fully unbuttoned, the delicate beauty becomes a weightless cover, perfect for…
